Here's mine:

1. Ditch the Sc-Fi Saturday evenings with some Crime Dramas. Some examples would include: Mannix , Perry Mason, The Mod Squad, Macgyver, Diagnosis : Murder. Id take any of those shows over Sc-Fi .

2. Get rid of E\I and paid programming. Come on , all that time wasted when you could have put something decent on. Note: This only applies to weekends. I can think of at least 50 Tv shows i d rather be watching then E\I or paid programs.


What things would you change about MeTv?

They can't drop E/I because it's required by the law.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires that every full-service broadcast television station in the U.S. air at least three hours of these programs every week to retain their station license. The E/I program requirements were enacted as part of the Children's Television Act of 1990.

Any paid programming comes from your local affiliate and not MeTV itself.

Another thing I would do is give it more variety. Everyday for months on end, its the same worn out shows that have been played over 600000x before . Maybe MeTv could put a variety show on like Rowan And Martins Laugh In instead of the crummy Mamas Family

1. Right now, their best block of sitcoms are on in the early morning hours. I would change those times to mid-afternoon.

Current times:

5:00 am My Three Sons
5:30 I Love Lucy
6:00 Brady Bunch
6:30 Petticoat Junction
7:00 Beverly Hillbillies
7:30 Beverly Hillbillies


My changes:

5:00 PM My Three Sons
5:30 I Love Lucy
6:00 Brady Bunch
6:30 Petticoat Junction
7:00 Beverly Hillbillies
7:30 Beverly Hillbillies



2. The second change I would make should be no surprise to any of you.

I WANT THIS CHANNEL AND ANTENNA TV IN CANADA ASAP! I don't care if it's illegal. Change the damn rules!

I don't get Andy Griffith because a local channel airs it. I get Gilligan's Island weeknights and Mayberry RFD on Sundays.

The only thing I'd change is the ability to get this channel in all area's. I want it so bad I can't stand it.

I wish I had ME-TV again??:(

I wish they would get rid of the E/I stuff. I know its by law but I think the FCC should worry about other concerns. Like...end the credit crunch, stop with all the damn commercials etc.:mad: :mad:

Also, I would get rid of the Sci-Fi stuff and the westerns. They have been played to death. Think outside the box like Antenna did with Johnny Carson.

The Westerns are on way too much and I would love to see them gone too. I also think they need to get rid of the EI shows. The FCC is stupid for requiring all over the air stations to air EI programming. I'm sure very few kids watch the EI shows on MeTV and Antenna TV.

I do agree about the sitcoms. It's schedule is mainly made up of Crime Dramas. All the good sitcoms are either on early in the morning or late at night.


For shows from the 1970-1979 era, you should try Antenna Tv. They have a lot of good programs from that era

I watch Antenna TV but just never understood why they focus on shows before 1970

I would like MeTV to go on the air in the Springfield/Greenfield, Massachusetts area on Comcast and Charter cable TV.
I also think Home Improvement and Coach would be a perfect fit for MeTV Network.

ME TV doesn't crunch the credits Antenna TV does that.

On a local level, I wish KVOS (Seattle/Vancouver) would drop the weekday televangelists from the morning schedule, 5-7 AM is a dead-zone!

I wish they would drop the Sunday infomercials, regular programming doesn't start until 1 PM, with the Brady Brunch.

I was in the hospital for 5 weeks this Spring with nothing to do but watch TV, and I overdosed on Andy to the point of almost cursing out loud when I heard the dammed whistling! :lol:

I know!!!! Mine either!!! And IDK why too? I usually like rural humor. I'm such a big Petticoat Junction and Green Acres fan. But I never really could get into Andy Griffith show too much!!! :confused: It's not like I hate it, I just don't care to watch it! :confused: And it's funny cause it's like if you tell someone you don't like the Andy Griffith show they look at you funny, it's like you are committing a crime or something!!! :lol:

I'd like them to add some more lesser known/obscure classic shows to their line-up. Instead of doubling up on a lot of programs they already air,they can easily do this. For example I think they have the rights to show Our Miss Brooks,why don't they put it in thier line-up. Also on a few shows they skip a lot episodes,Dobie Gillis being one of them.Why aren't they airing all the episodes.

Bring back the "Catch Me If You Can" detective dramas block. That was a really fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon when football was done.

Bring back some of the obscure stuff they showed during the Christmas season. I caught Father Dowling Mysteries, Hill Street Blues, and Vega$, all shows I hadn't seen in years! Would love to see those on the schedule, even if it's just on weekends.

I wish they bring back Catch Me If You Can too! I liked all of the shows on that lineup. Like many people before me said, there are too many westerns on. I love westerns , but there's a limit on how much I can watch without getting bored.

YES!!!! I LOVED 70's detective and cop shows!!! ;)

I wish they would bring back "Catch me if you can"!! Also ( and I know they won't because of what happened, Robert Blake being accused of murdering his wife) :( I wish METV would show Baretta! Or how about Toma? Does anyone remember Toma? It was basically like Baretta. David Toma was a true life detective from Newark, NJ! It was only on a short time, than when it went off the air, Baretta came on ! And the actor that played Toma ( Tony Mussante) was HOT!!!! ;) Robert Blake wasn't bad looking either back than! ;)

I know the latter 2 shows were shown on MeTv as part of their Christmas Stint.

Like the ones you listed above, id like to see Love ,American Style on more. Its not in syndication anywhere. I'd also like to see The Lucy Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Partridge Family, The F.B.I., Dallas(1978), Falcon Crest, on more. Those are rarely seen in syndication, if at all

I'd love to see Love American Style and the Lucy Show!;) Antenna shows the Partridge family and Cozi TV shows Dick Van Dyke! I think they still do, they did not to long ago!;)
