My cable package offers the FamilyNet channel, which shows two episodes of MTS every day -- at 3:00 and 3:30 p.m., with repeats at 11:00 and 11:30 p.m. In the past two weeks I've been catching as many episodes as possible.

I watched MTS during its last few seasons on network TV, but never had the opportunity to view it in syndication on a regular basis. I'm happy that FamilyNet decided to include the show in its weekday programming schedule.

Are they showing just the color episodes? I wish I had that channel.

Right now they're showing color episodes from 1967, which I think would be season 7 or 8. I'm guessing that FamilyNet has an extremely limited number of MTS episodes, so I'm not expecting to see any of the early B&W stuff.

The syndication package usually starts with the first color episode, at the beginning of Season 6, and runs through Season 10. Seasons 11 and 12 are a little less common, but I have seen them.

You are guaranteed to see the Douglases moving to CA, Robbie getting married and producing offspring, and also Steve getting re-married. But Chip was married in Season 11, and I'm not certain the package you're viewing will go beyond 10. It's a shame too because I really like Ronne Troupe (Polly Williams Douglas), who plays Chip's wife.

When Nick at Nite showed My Three Sons, they aired like this. They started off with the first season and went up to the 1964-65 season, then jumped to the last two seasons.


Another time around when they aried this show they started at the 1965-66 season and stopped at the 1969-70 season.


I was told it airs that way to due copyrights or some bull.


My guess is that is its still shown that way.


Dont make a whole lot of sense but whatever.

There's another post about this further down. They have about 100 shows and they've just keep rerunning them. It ends a few shows after Steve remarries. But at least, there's the move to CA and Robbie and Katie's marriage and the birth of the triplets. I'd love to see the b & w shows on this channel.

I'm sorry to hear that FamilyNet has such a small MTS package, although I'm really enjoying the Season Eight episodes that I've watched in the past two weeks.

I also would like to see the B&W episodes, which I've never had a chance to see.

This show did seem to have a weird syndication setup with half of one season being in package and the other half of the same season in the other package. That being said I don't get FamilyNet but do have the complete series on a "grey area" dvd set (CBS waited to long so they didn't get my money) so I watch it on there. I wonder what else FamilyNet shows?
