Yes I realize these changes come only a couple weeks after the changes posted in the other thread, but this is apparently the official fall schedule, so I decided to make another thread. (Mods, you can merge this with the other one if you see fit)

This is all effective September 4th.

Wagon Train comes to weekdays, Happy Days comes to weeknights replacing ALF which moves to Sunday mornings. The Saturday night lineup is jumbled a little, putting Svengoolie on in prime time. Sundays are shuffled a bit too with the addition of Facts of Life, The Lucy Show, Mama's Family and Touched by an Angel.

NEW/RETURNING SHOWS: Happy Days, Highway Patrol, The Lucy Show, Touched By an Angel, The Fugitive, The Untouchables, Peter Gunn

LEAVING SHOWS: Our Miss Brooks, Rhoda, Love American Style, Kolchak the Night Stalker, Sledge Hammer, Car 54 Where Are You, The Phil Silvers Show, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour

Sven @ 8pm??? That's a great time!!! :D

The addition of Highway Patrol is interesting. Too bad they are sticking with Hogan...obviously it's working for them.

Mama's Family has evidently worked at 9 pm. Too bad about ALF (I know many were glad to see that added), but at least it wasn't totally removed. Same for Petticoat Junction.

I definitely like Sunday afternoons (which must have been a bust on Summer of Me).

One more comment: do we really need more westerns in the afternoon? I guess they think so!

Saturday mornings are good but too early and Saturday afternoons are crap as always. Glad to see Facts of Life on Sunday afternoons and also glad to see Touched by an Angel Sunday nights.

Touched by an Angel is a good show but why couldn't they find another slot for it and move Last Laughs up an hour.

I like that Mama's Family & Facts of Life are on Sundays now.

Poor ALF got the shaft.

Wagon Train on weekdays...ugh...another western.

MASH & Hogan's Heroes still hangin on like a bad hangnail. These need to go or at least be put at another time.

Yeah I forgot to complain about MASH--it's overstayed its welcome even more than Hogan.

I definitely like Sunday afternoons (which must have been a bust on Summer of Me), but don't we get enough Lucy during the week?

Unless you're talking about other channels, Lucy won't be on during the week anymore.

More westerns? I'll keep switching over to Designing Women at 11 on a different channel and watching two hours of that after Matlock.

I'm also sick of Hogan's Heroes but I'm getting my teens into MASH, so I'm happy it's staying.

Why on earth:

* are they keeping their massive Westerns block on at 12 PM? Gunsmoke and Bonanza especially have been in that same spot since forever.

* are they keeping the MASH eternally at 7:00 PM?

* are they still wasting precious primetime slots by running two Hogan's Heroes at 10?

* do they still wait until 11 PM on Sundays to start their sitcom block??

Most of my complaints are about what they HAVEN'T changed rather than what they have. It's really starting to get old. They could use a big schedule overhaul.

Unless you're talking about other channels, Lucy won't be on during the week anymore.

Right. I was so used to it being there, I didn't notice it wasn't. So they ditched the Bradys, before Summer of Me, at 7 am, and now it work at 6:30 am???

I'm sick of MASH and Hogan's Hereoes but they obviously draw the ratings so I guess that's why they stay. I'll miss shows like Our Miss Brooks, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, and Mayberry RFD as they're not available on DVD. For my tastes it's not an improvement at all.

I'll probably watch:

Weekdays:
6pm: Hawaii Five-0
8-9pm: Gomer Pyle
9pm: Mama'a Family
9:30pm: Happy Days
11pm: Carol Burnett

Saturday: nothing

Sunday:
The Brady Bunch Brunch
2-3pm: Facts of Life
3-4pm: Mama's Family

If I'm up early, I'll also watch "Beverly Hillbillies", "Leave It to Beaver", "Petticoat Junction", & "ALF" when they air.

I watch "Svengoolie", of course, on Saturdays.

I wish that " Remington Steele" was there instead of "Diagnosis Murder".

so glad happy days is staying

schould of brought mork n mindy from antenna n aired it before alf the alien hour just thought

I sure wish I had this network.

At this point, I'm about done with MeTV. The constant reruns of Hogan's Heroes and MASH, the fact that Saturdays ain't nuttin' but westerns, and now Alf at 6AM on Sundays?! Yeah, I'm done. The kissing of Hogan's Heroes' ass was tolerable I guess, but you put Alf on at a time when I'm not even up, you done gone too far, y'all ain't getting my viewing no more.
When it comes to classic TV, I'm going with Antenna now. Their schedule has much more variety and they don't kiss any show's ass like MeTV does with Hogan's Homos.

If I could schedule Me-TV

The Fugitive and The Untouchables. :woohoo: Love Highway Patrol too. Can't get Touched by n Angel though. That's news time on that channel. :ohno:

Edit: Just noticed it's on at 7 too. So not too bad.

Why is Rhoda and Love American Style leaving?

^So they can bring in other shows.

^So they can bring in other shows.

That makes sense to me now.

Why is Rhoda and Love American Style leaving?

Those just part of. Summer of me schedule

Those just part of. Summer of me schedule

Oh. So those are just temporary then.

Love American Style was just to fill a gap in the schedule while they ran through some of the 90 minute episodes of The Love Boat. They're going back to running two back-to-back 60 minute episodes in September.

Saturday schedule in the evenings is still crap and the sunday schedule is nice after 11pm

Nice time slot change putting Happy Days on at 9:30pm during the week

I am still amazed that a awful show like Gunsmoke is on two cable channels

ME-TV and TV land

^Amen. And it's been on TV Land longer than MeTV has been in existence.

^Amen. And it's been on TV Land longer than MeTV has been in existence.


I know because my grandmom used to watch it on TV Land over 10 years ago lol

I love all the westerns, except I would like to see Rifleman removed, it's long overstayed it's welcome. How about for a real great change Joel McCrea's western series Wichita Town, now that's one I love to see take Rifleman's place. The b/w 1/2 hour Gunsmokes were only the best western TV series ever. Anyone complaining must have only seen the color Gunsmokes and base their opinion on those God awful color episodes.

I stopped watching Hogans Heroes and MASH decades ago, can't stand those 2 series. Why ME TV seems to have given it a permanent positions on their channel is beyond me.

Love Highway Patrol coming and would really like it if they showed the colorized versions of Peter Gunn episodes instead of the b/w ones.

I wish Me-TV 11pm to 2am schedule on Sunday night was their

8pm to 11pm from Monday to Friday

Except Me-TV technically isn't cable, it's broadcast.

I don't want any colorized anything. Peter Gunn is like a film noir which should be seen in black and white.

Right I meant to say 2 channels

I agree. Those shows deserve more exposure.

Until Football starts in september I don't have anything to watch from 10pm to 11pm during the week

That Johnny Carson BS on Antenna TV at 10pm

Full House on Nick@Nite at 10pm

Everybody Loves Raymond on TV land at 10pm



I guess I should give ELR a chance since it's the most watchable option out of those other shows

^ Yes that is a problem time.

I've seen all the Raymonds a zillion times, but I suppose it'll be a zillion and one.

Good Bones is a pretty interesting show on HGTV, but only on Tue. night.

Love Highway Patrol coming and would really like it if they showed the colorized versions of Peter Gunn episodes instead of the b/w ones.

Agree on HP (2150 to HQ!)! Peter Gunn has been colorized? All of them?

The Middle, Patricia Heaton's other show, airs on Hallmark head-to-head against Raymond. And it is always on the clock. My CW affiliate airs Seinfeld in the 10PM hour but local syndication times vary.

Just checked all my local channels including the CW affiliate and it;s nothing but local news at 10pm.


Atleast I only have to go through this for another month

I'm really glad they are keeping My Three Sons on the fall schedule, I thought i was just a summer thing. I'm really getting into the earlier seasons, I haven't seen them in years.

I'm glad their adding Highway Patrol, I watch it on Heroes and Icons channel. I like that they are re-adding The Lucy Show. I would like them to do what Nick At Nite used to do and add The Lucy and Desi Comedy Hour and have a two hour block of the shows on a Saturday or Sunday nite.

I thought they were supposed to re-add Green Acres, Dragnet and Adam-12 this year? Is that still the plan?

It be year 2020 for Adam-12 and dragnet return to metv and I think it be 2019 when green acres come to metv

ok thanks for a reply. it would be cool to see a block of green acres petticoat junction and beverly hillbillies in the morning, i think people would like that.

Green Acres is coming next year, 2018 to MeTV.

Green Acres is coming next year, 2018 to MeTV.

Wow, Thanks For the Info on Green Acres, Svenfan1234

what else coming next year just wondering

Besides Green Acres I have no clue. Probably more dramas.

I've been saying me tv needs cop series for the afternoon again and look what pops up :)

I hope they keep T.J Hooker on for awhile unlike Macgyver which they only had the rights to that for 5 onths then it got axed.

And Highway patrol is pretty good it use to air on This TV a few years ago

On This TV Highway Patrol was unedited (originally). On MeTV it will be missing around 2 minutes.

Highway patrol is on Heroes and Icons at 11am for an hour. I watch it on there monday thru friday. I wanted if it staying on the channel since its going to Metv. I wish Heroes and Icons would bring back Laurel And Hardy and the lucy and Desi comedy hour back since they arent airing anywhere else. it was awesome to see those on saturday afternoons.

Boo at ALF moving to Sunday mornings.

I also booed when MF was cut from two episodes per night to one, but have gotten accustomed to the 9 p.m. airing. I work Sunday afternoons, so can't watch the multiple episodes then.

We have both shows on DVD, so not all is lost. :D

Wow, Thanks For the Info on Green Acres, Svenfan1234
Yes! Antenna never treated it properly!

Do you mean Mama's Family?

Yes! Antenna never treated it properly!I disagree. Green Acres was not in primetime but it still got decent slots compared to a lot of shows, is moving to the 2PM hour in September and has been on weekday afternoons other times. Considering Petticoat Junction, Family Affair, and The Facts of Life were stuck with lousy early morning slots and just one episode on Me-TV, they likely would have had better exposure on Antenna.

MeTV will probably put it on weekdays at 6am, when people can watch it since they're not at school or work.

The Facts of Life is coming to Antenna next year.

Antenna said it on Facebook. I can't dig through a bunch of posts right now just to find it. But they said it and it's coming, next year, with no date set yet.

Highway patrol is on Heroes and Icons at 11am for an hour.

Not the same show. You're thinking of Real Stories of the Highway Patrol from the 90's. This is a 50's series called Highway Patrol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_Patrol_(U.S._TV_series)

ok never knew there was a show called Highway Patrol i just assumed it was the one on H&I. thanks for clarifying that for me.

Isn't Facts Of Life on MeTV right now? Then why is the show getting moved to Antenna next year then?

Just because Antenna says it on Facebook, doesn't make it so. I'll believe it when I see it. I really doubt MeTV would have taken the series if they didn't make a fairly long term deal for it.

I'd bet Antenna has some sour grapes over the deal. I'm sure they thought they had an exclusive deal with Sony (or the exclusive deal expired).

The Facts of Life is coming to Antenna next year.

From antenntatv Facebook from June 10 they said facts of life was on it wish list

Just because Antenna says it on Facebook, doesn't make it so. I'll believe it when I see it. I really doubt MeTV would have taken the series if they didn't make a fairly long term deal for it.


Or they may have had the rights for a while and they're just now airing it while they still can. Besides, look at how long Me-TV had Patty Duke last year before it went right back to Antenna. Not even a full year. Same with Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie, only aired them for less than a year before Antenna got them. So it's still possible.

Isn't Facts Of Life on MeTV right now? Then why is the show getting moved to Antenna next year then?

It's possible Antenna already had a deal with Sony for the rights starting next year, and Me-TV only has a 1 year contract.

^Could be...we'll see! They (MeTV) may have just needed some temp. filler at 6am, once they lost the rights to Mr. Ed., and while waiting for the rights to Green Acres.

It's possible Antenna already had a deal with Sony for the rights starting next year, and Me-TV only has a 1 year contract.

Maybe they did.

I would much rather it be on MeTV since they don't crunch credits. It would be even better if It can be shared with Decades so they could have a weekend binge marathon of it.

It's become rare for Decades to put a sitcom on their weekend binge. Lately it's been all dramas: Mission Impossible, Kung Fu, Ironside (twice in a row), and Cheyenne.

They had some good marathons back in June with My Three Sons, Gomer Pyle, and Get Smart. But your right, lately all they've shown are these lousy dramas and it seems many of these have been done many times before. I just wish they would show more sitcoms on the binges and less dramas.

Has the network shown sitcoms before?

But your right
But you're wrong!

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist! :lol:

Has the network shown sitcoms before?
The last sitcom binge I remember was on Easter when they did a Family Affair marathon. But I never did pay much attention to Decades.

Oh. so you're saying the only ones who they should cater too are fans of sitcoms while fans of dramas should be ignored by them and you think me-tv & decades should stop catering to both sides in favor of sitcom only fans.

I see how that is.

Decades has also had The Doris Day Show, I Love Lucy, and The Lucy Show on past weekend binges. Even Celebrity Bowling...!

For anyone supportive of so many drama weekends in recent months, just one question: Why is it that Ironside gets 2 weekends in a row, while Decades would never do that for a sitcom? Even though they have many seasons of some sitcoms available to run?

We're not looking to stop the fun of drama fans. But this IS the "Sitcoms Online" site! Bring on at least some sitcom binges!:) Throw us a bone!

MeTV has gone pretty heavy on dramas as well. TJ Hooker has a pretty nice timeslot...

I'm really enjoying watching Gomer Pyle weeknights at 8. Glad they're giving Mayberry RFD a rest.

Why?

Your area? Different Me-TV channel?

Yeah, MRFD was getting old...there are only three seasons, and they played them many times over.

(In explanation for above, some markets can't show TAGS, and MeTV has an alternate feed for these cities.)

in cities where TAGS is on a local station that also has ME TV, the ME TV afilliate replaces the 8 and 8:30 showings of TAGS with GOMER PYLE

Why?

Your area? Different Me-TV channel?
Yea I get it too. If a local channel carries the Andy Griffith Show then ME-TV sends another show to your local affiliate to air. It has been Mayberry RFD but now they changed it to Gomer Pyle. So we get it every weeknight at 8.

I'm really enjoying watching Gomer Pyle weeknights at 8. Glad they're giving Mayberry RFD a rest.


That is so cool !;) I wish I got Gomer Pyle!!! I'd love to see GP!! :) I don't even get Mayberry RFD!! Just Andy Griffith showing for the millionth time!!! :confused:

:sleep2: Not a very interesting line-up. The only show that I am interested in seeing is Canon.

What is it with both stations having the rights to Cheers airing it as little as possible? It was one of the longest running sitcoms with 11 seasons but gets 1 solitary airing a week on Me-TV and Hallmark only gives it an hour a day buried at 4AM. Both those stations should lose the rights and they should go to channels that would actually use them.

I would much rather it be on MeTV since they don't crunch credits. It would be even better if It can be shared with Decades so they could have a weekend binge marathon of it.This would be a nice trade for us since I do not get Me-TV or Decades and you won't watch Antenna TV. From Antenna to Me/Decades: all 6 Norman Lear shows (All in the Family, Good Times, Sanford and Son, The Jeffersons, Maude, and One Day at a Time) and the Three's Company trio. From Me to Antenna: Petticoat Junction, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, M*A*S*H, Cheers, The Love Boat, and Columbo.

The week of 9/4 MeTV schedule at 5 am still shows Our Miss Brooks, not Highway Patrol.

Only for the morning of 9/4 because MeTV considers their broadcast day to start at 6AM, so technically 5AM is still Sunday night and still the previous schedule. Highway Patrol starts the next day.

I wish Love, American Style and Rhoda were kept on the lineup.

It would been better if Remington Steele was still on the schedule

They should've kept sitcoms between 4-6pm.

I wish Mama's Family and ALF both would hit the road. I would not consider either one classic TV at all. I don't like Hogan's Heroes or Love Boat. They should go. Did they remove Saved By The Bell? If so good.

I am glad about The Lucy Show and Touched By An Angel.

Saved By The Bell has to be there because it's part of their E/I programming.

I wish they'd put "THE FUGITIVE" in a better time slot. Say 11 pm or midnight.

I wish Love, American Style and Rhoda were kept on the lineup.

I'm going to cry if and when they take Rhoda off!!!:( :( :(

Last min change to the metv fall schedule that start Monday 9/4/2017

Alf staying on the mon to Friday 9:30 pm eastern time

A different alf cycle on Sunday mornings

Because of this guy?

I guess that means Happy Days isn't returning.

wish they make up their minds already

Yep, Happy Days is now off the schedule. Wonder why the last minute change.

Buy why though?

Buy why though?

I don't know. I don't know why they couldn't have taken off just one of the Hogan's Heroes so that both ALF and Happy Days could be on. I never could get into Hogan's Heroes and it has dominated that hour for way too long. I don't know why they can't put something else on then.

I wish Remington Steele were on instead of the trashy and boring Diagnosis Murder... or put Remington at 4 to lead into TJ Hooker and H5-0.

I wonder why Happy Days isn't on at 9:30???:confused:

Got pulled due to Alf I think.

It's back at 9:30 next week isn't it?

They replaced Happy Days with Alf in the 8:30 Central time slot.

And it was dumb. They could have still kept ALF there and replaced one of the lousy Hogan's Heroes episodes with Happy Days.

It's back at 9:30 next week isn't it?

No idea.

Happy Days isn't returning next week. ALF stays at 9:30pm for now.

They should put HD on Sunday mornings in place of Alf at least.

I was looking forward to seeing HD again and what happened to Laverne & Shirley? How could they not bring that back?:(

Personally, I'm glad ALF is staying at 9:30!

If MeTV was going to pick up Happy Days where it was when they dropped it at 6, ALF is a much better choice. They were just moving into the change to The Fonzie Show.

It would have been around the end of season 3/beginning of season 4.

So what's going to happen with Laverne And Shirley along with Happy Days?

They'll probably come back in the winter or spring.

I wonder if that's going to be the same for Rhoda.

does anyone have any old metv schedules, I would like to see the very first schedule that they had when it debuts. same with antenna tv.

I'm glad Alf's staying in primetime!

You should try a great website called The Wayback Machine.

I might have some old Antenna TV schedules on my old laptop but I would have to get it out and look. You could also try digging through these forums because I'm sure you could find them here too. It would just take time.

^There is also a search function, which I think would search the entire General Sitcoms Questions and Discussion forum.

I liked when Antenna used to show old movies!!!! ;) :)

Man I sure would like to see the Q3 2011 schedule, that was the first schedule I ever watched. Oh how I miss the old schedule. But hey, it didn't have Newhart, Wings, and Becker, now did it?

Quarter 3.

They don't do that anymore?

I didn't but hey, at least they didn't crunch credits back then. So if the movies were cheaper, I wouldn't mind them coming back if they could eliminate the credit crunch.

And MASH was still on MeTV at the same time it is now. That show is way overplayed.

Mash needs to be taken off the air is what has to happen.

It must be a success for them, unfortunately.

i think taxi and honeymooners need be on weeknights instead stuck on sundays all the time

i think taxi and honeymooners need be on weeknights instead stuck on sundays all the timeThe Honeymooners doesn't have enough episodes for weekdays. With just 39 episodes it would run through a complete cycle every 2 months.

Why is The Brady Bunch on so early?

On screen TV Guide for MeTV is still showing ALF, this week and next, with episode details, at 9:30.

The new changes start tomorrow folks...

I see that Threes Company and Welcome Back Kotter will be airing in the same hour. LOL

That's kind of weird:lol:

Yes, that was a last minute change. Happy Days will not be on at 9:30 after all.

And MASH was still on MeTV at the same time it is now. That show is way overplayed.
o YES DEFINETALY!!! Also ALL IN THE FAMILY on Antenna TV!!!

And with MASH now being shown on 3 or 4 other channels it's time for ME TV to drop it.

Thanks for the schedules. I really wished they would bring back totally tooned in, i like the old classic cartoons, they don't show cartoons like that anymore.

Yes, that was a last minute change. Happy Days will not be on at 9:30 after all.

So is Happy Days leaving then?

And with MASH now being shown on 3 or 4 other channels it's time for ME TV to drop it.

Why does MASH show on so many channels?

So is Happy Days leaving then?

Yes, and that is just bad programming on MeTV's part. They could have dropped one of the Hogan's Heroes airings for Happy Days. Not happy at all.

Wish Comcast can make a last minute change to delete Me-TV from my lineup:lol:

Happy Days and Rhoda should've been kept. And cut back on some of the westerns and MASH.

So, ALF is staying on at 9:30 nightly, and airing Sunday mornings? The schedule shows as much on my cable provider, at least this week. I don't mind Happy Days, but the Mama's Family/ALF has become part of the daily routine, even though we have both shows on DVD.h

EDIT: MeTV has ALF highlighted on its main page, with both the nightly and Sunday airings iisted. Yay.

Why?


all the shows is crappy

Yes I realize these changes come only a couple weeks after the changes posted in the other thread, but this is apparently the official fall schedule, so I decided to make another thread. (Mods, you can merge this with the other one if you see fit)

This is all effective September 4th.

Wagon Train comes to weekdays, Happy Days comes to weeknights replacing ALF which moves to Sunday mornings. The Saturday night lineup is jumbled a little, putting Svengoolie on in prime time. Sundays are shuffled a bit too with the addition of Facts of Life, The Lucy Show, Mama's Family and Touched by an Angel.

NEW/RETURNING SHOWS: Happy Days, Highway Patrol, The Lucy Show, Touched By an Angel, The Fugitive, The Untouchables, Peter Gunn

LEAVING SHOWS: Our Miss Brooks, Rhoda, Love American Style, Kolchak the Night Stalker, Sledge Hammer, Car 54 Where Are You, The Phil Silvers Show, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour

He's just angry about the WBK marathon starting at 5 in the morning...

I love a bunch of shows on Me -- Matlock, TJ Hooker, Hawaii Five O, Mama's Family, ALF, The Facts of Life, Leave it to Beaver, My Three Sons, Svengoolie, Petticoat Junction, etc. -- but I wish the westerns, M*A*S*H and Hogan's Heroes would go away. Enough is enough. I like MASH okay, but why not add new sitcoms like Perfect Strangers, Too Close for Comfort, or It's a Living? I also really wish they'd add St. Elsewhere. Also, I wish they'd add WKRP and maybe even Lou Grant.

And I agree with the people who wish Rhoda and Love American Style would return. I also wish Bosom Buddies and Remington Steele would return .

Definitely should Too Close for Comfort and WKRP. Maybe Charles in Charge as well.

I would love to see NewsRadio.

wasnt newsradio last on antenna tv?

No idea.

It was around late 2011/early 2012.

Since they seem to devote 5/5:30 am to "really old" sitcoms, I'd like to see Bachelor Father come back sometime. This time, unlike Antenna TV, maybe they could fork over a little more money and get all (or more) of the episodes.

No idea.

It was on Antenna, and if anybody were to get it again,it'd be them.

Wish Comcast can make a last minute change to delete Me-TV from my lineup:lol:I would gladly take your Me-TV station off your hands, Fort Wayne might never get an affiliate for it. :mad:

speaking of really old shows, I would love to see Adventures of Ozzy and Harriet, i never saw the show and would be interested to watch it.

don't say that, Sol!! LOL









I'd be REALLY, REALLY, REALLY ANGRY if Comcast took off ME TV. If they'd take off ANTENNA TV I wouldn't mind though.

It was around late 2011/early 2012.
it was 20012, I remember because that was the year I had a stroke and I remember watching it while I was in a nursing home/rehab center recovering. It was on Sunday nights paired with WKRP IN CINCINATTI.

speaking of really old shows, I would love to see Adventures of Ozzy and Harriet, i never saw the show and would be interested to watch it.With 435 episodes and 14 seasons I would think Ozzie and Harriet would be syndicated a lot more, that makes it the longest running live-action sitcom in history. The only time I have seen it on TV since I got cable over a decade ago was on ION back when they aired a lot of infomercials. And those were fluke airings, paid programming was listed at 11:30 AM and 11:00 PM where Ozzie and Harriet actually was. The Beverly Hillbillies also aired at 11AM and I Married Joan aired some place where infomercials where listed.
