No longer. In March, season four of The Twilight Zone is coming to MeTV, as part of a new Sunday evening block we dub Sunday Nightmares. Who makes a perfect partner for these chilling episodes? The Master of Suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock. Add in even more Rod Serling and you have a perfect reason to stay up late. With the lights on.

Here is what's coming to Sunday night on MeTV, beginning on March 11:

Night Gallery
11 PM | 10C and 11:30PM | 10:30C

An anthology series featuring tales of the macabre, each episode of Night Gallery begins with host Rod Serling standing in a creepy art gallery, where he unveils a painting thematically tied to that night's tale. The series features adaptations of classic fiction by authors such as H.P. Lovecraft as well as original scripts, many of which were penned by Serling. A departure from the science fiction that defined Serling's earlier series, The Twilight Zone, Night Gallery keeps its focus on tales of a dark and horrific nature.

The Twilight Zone
12AM | 11C

The aforementioned fourth season episode offer classics like "The Thirty Fathom Grave," "Death Ship" and "Of Late I Think of Cliffordville," as well as "Jess-Belle," a personal favorite of screenwrite Earl Hamner, Jr., creator of The Waltons.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents
1AM | 12C and 1:30AM | 12:30C

Hitch himself hosts (and directs a few of) this diabolical collection of 30-minute tales that runs the gamut from crime and mystery to horror and the supernatural. Thieving schemers, murderous spouses and a host of other unsavory characters run amok in nightmarish stories loaded with twists and turns.

Additionally, Night Gallery will air each weekday at 5:30AM | 4:30C, starting on March 5.

Wow not many changes.

Still too much western junk.

3 Gomer Pyle's every night is overkill.

I like Gomer but 3 in a row is too much.

I wish they'd bring back ALF at 9:30pm and Mama back at 9.

Bummer...I'm gonna miss that Sunday night sitcom block. Wouldn't mind seeing them back on weeknights, like they were a few years ago. This would've been 2013-14.

IDK?? I'm wondering who exactly is watching all them, that they play so many, they must be getting a following? I can't imagine though who would be into all these Westerns so much? :confused:

Does anyone know if Me TV is mostly for Westerns & Dramas and Sci-Fi? While Decades is mostly for Sitcoms?

Thinking about it wasn’t there a network at one time for Me TV and Me TV Too. Where Me TV was mainly Sitcoms. While Me TV Too was for Westerns Drama and Sci-Fi?

I feel the same way. The westerns must be getting a following,but other classic shows would get a bigger following and audience in my opinion.

Seems to me that now MeTV is focusing more and more on dramas and westerns with a few sitcoms.They used to be about 50/50.

I suggest they can move Gomer Pyle & Hogan's Heroes from the evening slots and also can trim westerns block down a bit since The Donna Reed Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show & The Bob Newhart Show will disappear from the METV schedule as week of March 5th. It good to see Twilight Zone & Alfred Hitchcock Presents getting Sunday slots in addition to weeknight slots. I'm hoping for Eight is Enough, Knight Rider, Charlie's Angels & Flipper to be added by MeTV.

Well, I dont see Knight Rider on COZI’s schedule but i do see it on ElRey’s schedule. My Spectrum cable dont have LightTV before but i’ll try looking at Flipper on Light TV online anytime soon.

I never got into that one really. I tried watching it multiple times though.

I'm all for less westerns at this point with the exception of Rifleman. Every other one they air can be seen on TV Land currently in about the same timeslots actually. I'd rather see more 70's and 80's sitcoms that don't get syndicated as much anymore. Maybe a action based series like The A-Team or MacGyver (Again).

I wish they would add a few 80s and 90s African American sitcoms like Amen, Sister Sister, Moesha, and the Parkers. I also wish they would add Charles in Charge. They should move some of the good shows they have in the early morning to afternoons and evenings and put the westerns in the early morning.

I think they do this because not everyone gets tvland. MeTv is over the air and most people don't want to buy the expensive cable. That's my opinion anyways.

Well if you want westerns you could watch Grit instead if it's available in the particular area. They could at least cut it down by a hour and a half.

Guilty as charged!

My all time favorite TV show is "The Rifleman." I watch frequently, virtually every day.

I also like "Bonanza" and watch it semi-regularly on MeTV. The 30 minute format, though, of "The Rifleman" means a more action packed into less time.

"Gunsmoke" I watch once in a while, not too often.

Currently, my top 5 TV shows are:
1. The Rifleman
2. Bonanza
3. Star Trek (original series)
4. Bewitched
5. Happy Days

MA

Here's what I would do:

. Get rid of some (but not all) of the unnecessary westerns

. Keep only one or two Gomer Pyle's

. MASH should go

MA

Wouldn't mind seeing some of the shows they aired during the Christmas season a few years ago (I wanna say 2015). Vega$, Hill Street Blues, Father Dowling Mysteries and a few others I hadn't seen in about 20 years.

I like the idea of showing old movies from the 70s and 80s...maybe a few 90s stuff too, the made-for-TV stuff.
