For those of you who enjoy Benson on Chicago's METV, Benson will be back to weekdays starting May 25th, 2009. For months now, Benson has been shown on a weekly basis, showing only one episode a week, Sunday nights at 9pm central.

Lisa (BensonFan) will be thrilled because she's from the Chicago area. However, they haven't shown Benson in syndication here in the Cleveland area since the 80s. :(

Yes, I am excited!! :dance:

However, Monika, I think other areas get Me-TV as well, maybe depending on your cable service provider. Are you absolutely sure you don't get that channel?

Oh well. Are you going to start your second season episode reviews soon? I'm thinking again about doing it for Barney Miller since I became moderator on that board.

Hey there's no time like the present to get it!

Yeah, I am thinking of maybe next week. A problem I was having seems to have been resolved, so now I can relax and concentrate again. :D

Sorry Lisa, I just found your post just browsing the board. I didn't get an e-mail notice with your question.

It's on Monday through Saturday at 8:00am and Sunday nights at 9:30pm.

Well I'm sure it goes without saying but please keep your eyes peeled for "What A Revoltin' Development". I just got Dish Network not too long ago and am trying to figure out how to get everything set up so that I can record to my DVR. So far I don't have it configured so if they show that episode again, I'm screwed unless someone else gets it recorded. :crazy:

I hope you start the threads for S2 soon, Lisa. :D

Yes that is the ONLY ONE I need, and I've had a heck of a time getting it. Ask RWCTV; everytime this episode comes on some network it ends up getting skipped somehow in the lineup. Or a scheduled airing results in some other thing coming up to override it. Last time Me-TV was scheduled to show it, they ended up airing some dumb infomercial in its place. And then instead of showing it the next week, they just continued on with the next episode instead. I was so mad! :mad:

I know, Monika, I'm sorry. Things just keep coming up it seems. Plus I have to sit down and start watching them again first. The episodes have to be fresh in my mind otherwise my commentary will stink. :lol:

I have some bad news:

This coming September I found out that Benson might not be on Me-TV come the 14th when they change their line-up.

Hopefully, they'll have it as one of the new Saturday Me-TV Marathons.



Take a look at this sked for proof:

Nope. Back to not seeing it anywhere at all again. :rolleyes:
