I can't get the article to load, so I can't comment on the content.
I do, however, watch TVLand with relative frequency. For the most part their line up tends to be heavy with sitcoms (Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy, Bewitched. Past shows have included things like WKRP, Barney Miller, Soap, Family Affair, Mary Tyler Moore, etc.) and the occasional drama (Marcus Welby, MD, Love Boat) or western or whatever.
Not familiar with Wells' oeuvre, but I do know nothing of DC's has been on TVLand.
