COZI TV, the network designed to deliver an easy-to-watch, comfortable and familiar viewing experience to audiences nationwide, today announced it will add a host of new movies and TV shows to its lineup in the coming months, including classic favorites Fantasy Island, Starsky & Hutch and Hart to Hart. Additionally, Cozi TV renewed Charlie's Angels and will add dozens of new movies to its rotation, including Gidget, The Graduate, Tootsie and The Big Chill.

"We are so excited to expand COZI TV's already great collection of movies and television shows and know that all-time favorites like Fantasy Island, Hart to Hart and Starsky & Hutch will be the perfect addition to COZI TV's programming lineup," said Meredith McGinn, Senior Vice President of Cozi TV Network and LX.TV Productions.

Airing from 1978 to 1984, Fantasy Island was a hit TV series starring Ricardo Montalbán as Mr. Roarke, the overseer of a mysterious island located somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, where people from all walks of life came to live out their fantasies. Mr. Roarke's energetic sidekick Tattoo, played by Hervé Villechaize, opened each episode by ringing a bell and famously shouting, "The plane! The plane!" to welcome new guests to the island.

COZI TV will take viewers to the crime ridden streets of fictional Bay City, California in the 1970s cop thriller television series, Starsky & Hutch. Paul Michael Glaser starred as dark-haired, street-smart David Starsky alongside his blond, intellectual partner, Kenneth 'Hutch' Hutchinson, played by David Soul. Together, the duo patrolled Bay City in the infamous Striped Tomato, Starsky's two-door Ford Gran Torino, catching fugitives and fighting injustice.

Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers played Jonathan and Jennifer Hart in the popular series Hart to Hart, which ran from 1979 to 1984. Mr. Hart, a self-made millionaire and CEO of Hart Industries, and his wife, a freelance journalist, lived a glamorous lifestyle while spending their free time moonlighting as amateur detectives. In every episode, the couple found themselves involved in cases of smuggling, theft, international espionage or murder.

Drawing from the vast NBCUniversal library of movies and TV shows as well as from other top studios, Cozi TV engages viewers with some of America's favorite entertainment of all time, including a number of beloved television series, hit movies and original programming. In addition to Fantasy Island, Starsky & Hutch and Hart to Hart, COZI TV's lineup includes some of America's most iconic shows of all time like Magnum, P.I., The Bionic Woman, Lone Ranger and The Six Million Dollar Man.

Since the network's official launch at the beginning of this year, Cozi TV has grown significantly and is now available in 47.5 million homes or 42 percent of the country, reaching 40 markets, including those served by the NBC-owned stations.
