I'll see a rerun of The Mary Tyler Moore Show on Me-TV and then right after that will be a rerun of The Dick Van Dyke Show. It's a bit jarring to see a slightly older Mary in color directly followed by younger Mary as Laura Petrie in B&W. Not quite as jarring as when one of our local stations used to air repeats of Happy Days and The Andy Griffith Show back to back. It always threw me as a youngster to see a young adult Ron Howard as Richie and right after see him as a tiny boy (Opie) in B&W. Is this just me? :crazy: :lol:

I am sorry to say it is just you :crazy:
I would rather see TDVDS and then TAGS. I dont usually like to mix the B&W with Color.

this is what I find wrong with the retro TV stations--It is mainly just a hodge-podge of shows. If you want to know how a good classic channel programs its shows--just check out Nick@ Nite from 1985-1991. Black and white heaven!!

Just thought I'd check. :crazy: :lol:

Our local WB station shows Matlock followed by Andy griffith show.
Thats kind of strange looking to see how much Andy changed.
He seems to have shrunk.

Actually when I first got Me-TV that was the first thing I noticed. It would make more sense if they aired TDVDS before TMTMS instead of after.

Marvo does your Me TV show Cannon? My Me TV got knocked off about a month ago and they said I should re-boot my channels but I have been too lazy!

That's exactly what I meant - it just jolts me for a second to see things like that. It would be if Diagnosis Murder was scheduled right before The Dick Van Dyke Show in syndication.

I have never seen Cannon on my Me-TV.

We have Cannon here in the Cleveland market.

I actually like it. It's fun to see the range of classic TV shows from various decades. Although, it probably too depends on your show preferences. For instance, I wouldn't want to see an episode of Bewitched followed by Married with Children. Ugh!

Ugh, me neither. Then again, I never cared for MWC, but you get my point. :crazy:

It doesn't bother me too much.

It's sometimes fun to see how the actor from one show looks different in their other hit show and it's even more fun if their shows are back to back.

Ex's:

Mary Tyler Moore on TMTM and on Dick Van Dyke

Carroll O'Connor on AitF and on In the Heat of the Night

Sherman Hemsley on AitF, The Jeffersons and on Amen

Clifton Davis on That's My Mama and on Amen

Bob Newhart on The Bob Newhart Show and on Newhart.

Michael Landon on Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie and on Highway to Heaven.

IMO, Clifton Davis and Michael Landon look the most jarringly different in appearances on their later hit shows.

Didn't Clifton Davis have that huge 'fro going on on his earlier show? I've never seen That's My Mama - I'll have to see if I can check the DVDs out of my local library system.

Yep, Clifton Davis was sure rockin' that fro on that show! :)
