I don't have the full schedule yet, hopefully later this week, but I do know that WKRP in Cincinnati will be coming starting April 2nd at 9:30 p.m. Eastern.

From the affiliate newsletter:

Good.It would be nice if MeTV also added even more sitcoms to balance out their schedule since it's been too heavy on the dramas for quite some time now.Something like a 50/50 mix of comedies and dramas is what they should going for.

Wow! It is great that WKRP in Cincinnati making the addition to MeTV

And at least they're not scheduling it at dawn like the last couple of sitcom additions.

I hope it doesn't mean they're dumping Mama's Family. My hope would be that they'd dump Hogan, and double up on Mama in its place.

Or, maybe they'll dump Gomer and move Mama back to 9.

THIS!

It could be that METV is getting to the end of it contract for Mamas family. just my though and thinking. since she been on metv for 2 yrs now

I really hope Mama's Family stays.

It'd be nice if MASH or Hogan went bye-bye.

Exactly. I can’t wait to see the full schedule.

I also hope this means there will be a binge marathon of WKRP on Decades sometime this year since Me and Decades are sister stations.

Good news, I love WKRP. I hope they add a couple more sitcoms like Too Close for Comfort and Who's the Boss or even shows like Perfect Strangers and Step by Step if they can get them.

I'd really like to see WTB? so I can record it and make a decent set.

Me too. And maybe Chico and the Man and It's a Living too.

Yeah, the verdict is still out about IAL. Hopefully, it'll be coming to MeTV.

Aww man today is just getting better and better for me.

I'd really like to see WTB? so I can record it and make a decent set.

WTB? is on local TV here, and it just started last fall, so I doubt either Antenna or MeTV has picked it up.

I wish Small Wonder would get picked up by METV. I know I've expressed that before, but I just wish it could be seen on a non-digital subchannel station.

I guess part of it is, when Family Net changed branding and format, we [U-Verse] cable people lost a niche of retro programming. It's frustrating to have to go backward in tech just to see some other favorite retro shows.

WKRP is good news. I just hope other 80s sitcoms return where I can watch them, soon.

WKRP is one of my favorites, so I love this. I thought it would've made an excellent addition to the "Last Laughs" block on Sunday nights, but that's no more.

Hopefully, they'll include more original songs, like on the DVD set, but either way, I'll just be happy to see the show on TV again.

about time this show comes back on tv

I wish Small Wonder would get picked up by METV. I know I've expressed that before, but I just wish it could be seen on a non-digital subchannel station. Everything is digital now, has been for a few years.. The smaller broadcast networks (not national like CBS, ABC etc.) are even called diginets. Antenna TV has the rights to Small Wonder and has been airing it on weekdays since the start of 2018.

Except Me-TV IS a digital subchannel network.......

Super excited about this and cannot wait to watch. One of my favorites.

On U-Verse, it's on the listings as if it was a regular cable station.

I know Small Wonder's on Antenna TV. I was just lamenting not being able to see it, since my cable is too good, and I don't need an over the air setup.

On U-Verse, it's on the listings as if it was a regular cable station.


That was a special agreement with U-Verse to carry the direct feed. But otherwise it is a digital subchannel network with local affiliates just like Antenna TV.

Any new news on the new schedule? I'm hoping there'll be more new additions!

Yea to WKRP! Great show!

For what it’s worth —- Mama’s Family is also on Logo a few times per week. Tons of commercials though. Tons. :rolleyes:

Logo is a crap network. They edit over 6 minutes out of each Mama's Family episode! I would never watch them! They're crap!

Especially since its sister channel, H&I, has nothing but dramas.

well, at least H & I shows all the Star Trek series including the rarely seen animated one.

I really hope they get rid of Mama's Family. That has to be one of the worst shows ever.

It'd be nice to see Hogan's Heroes get ousted. Ain't nothing funny about the show

Me too. Only thing I liked about it was the theme song. They don’t necessarily have to get rid of it but it’s been hogging the same spot for waaaay too long. They could at least move it to a different spot.

I have the full schedule now and WKRP at 9:30PM Eastern is the only change. That means Mama's Family will only be on Sunday afternoons now.

I was hoping for more shows. There's still summer.

Any info on Svengoolie for April yet?

Only April 7th. Dinosaurus! (1960).

Yes!:D Thanks!:wave: Please let me know as you know more!

Same old crummy schedule with loads of MASH, Hogan’s Heroes, and westerns galore.

Not quite. We lost Mama's Family on weekdays.

Not quite. We lost Mama's Family on weekdays.

Exactly. And they could have put Mama’s Family on in place of one of the Hogan’s Heroes episodes but for some dumb reason they have to show two.

they need to give MASH a rest, it's been on in that same time slot since they started and before that it was on FX and it's been in syndication FOREVER!!!

Ugh. I'm disappointed that MASH and Hogan are still so prominent on the schedule. So tiring. Westerns still stinking up 90% of the daily schedule. Maybe they'll make actual changes on the next schedule.

One can watch WKRP on YouTube, most all the episodes if not all of them, full screen, mostly in good video format (not mini screen, white light or any of that).

that or get the box set

Ugh. I'm disappointed that MASH and Hogan are still so prominent on the schedule. So tiring. Westerns still stinking up 90% of the daily schedule. Maybe they'll make actual changes on the next schedule.

I can't imagine there are that many Hogan fans out there to register much of a rating. People like my dad who can not get out love those westerns, but I agree they need to cut back on them. I only watch "Wild Wild West" occasionally.

As for MASH it is literally on my cable lineup at least 12 times a day over about 4 different channels. I guess it may be popular (more than I imagine Hogan is) but if I loved the show that much I'd have the DVD's and watch unedited and commercial free rather than on METV, TVLand, and Goodness knows which other channels.

MASH must have had a resurgence, as it was only on MeTV as of a few years ago. Now it's on TV Land, WGN, Sundance or whatever.

I wish somebody could explain the popularity...I sure don't understand it.

And Hogan--that's nowhere but MeTV. Maybe their ratings meter is out of order.

Hogan's Heroes must do well for MeTV to keep it in the 10PM hour this long. (I've never gotten the channel but sounds like Hogan has been there a few years.) My great uncle was a big fan of it when he was alive.

it's only been there for a couple years.

Since fall 2015. It needs to leave.

I'd love to see Hogan's Heroes and MASH leave the lineup.

it's only been there for a couple years.From all the complaining posters here have done about Hogan saying it has hogged that spot forever, I would have thought it was there for most of the network like M*A*S*H.

I really hope they get rid of Mama's Family. That has to be one of the worst shows ever.

Mamas Family will be reduce to only Sundays Starting in April week of April 2 per the schedule that Snowpeck posted.

Snowpeck, do you have any more info on Sven's schedule for April?

April 21 is The Three Stooges in "Have Rocket, Will Travel" and April 28 is "Mr. Sardonicus."

Yesterday after H5O finishes season 7, it will go back to season 1 instead of airing season 8...

Does your schedule have "Abbott & Costello Go to Mars" for April 14 because that's what MeTV's online website says, but zap2it is saying "The Mummy". If it's "A&C Go to Mars", it must've been a last-minute scheduling thing because if "Hold That Ghost" had been played this week as it was supposed to, I highly doubt "Go to Mars" would be on the schedule two weeks from now.

I noticed that too.I wonder why they're doing that. They are also skipping an episode of WKRP. PS, I hope the quote thing worked because I'm having computer problems.

They're skipping "Les on a Ledge", episode 3, for anyone's information.

Yeah, that's weird. I wonder why. I also wonder how these episodes will be, if they'll be the older syndicated versions with most music replaced like Antenna or new edited versions with more music intact. I'll be recording some episodes, even though I own the DVD, because I know some episodes had music intact where the DVD didn't.

Yes, it's "Abbott and Costello Go to Mars." The change was made on 3/20. It was originally "The Mummy."

Also, Hawaii Five-0 was a last minute change as well. They were originally scheduled to go onto season 8.

Are you sure? You mean they will be airing season 8 after all? I checked zap2it and they are going back to season 1.

MeTV sometimes does odd things with normal syndication packages. For example, several years ago they showed all of the Bob Newhart Show except season 6 (eventually they did show season 6).

On H5O, the Syndication Bible shows that some episodes are not digitized, but the digitized ones go way beyond season 7. So, it's hard to know what happened there.

Re WKRP ep. 1-3--they probably don't want to get into gay and/or suicide issues.

You misread. I said the original schedule said season 8 episodes would be airing, but they made a last minute change and went back to season 1.

Sorry I misread. But anyways thanks for clarification. I sure hope next time they would start with season 8 after season 7 next cycle even if not digitally remastered or something..

WKRP starts tonight.

Pissed they are skipping one of the best (IMO) episodes of WKRP.

Is Petticoat Junction still on the schedule at all?

It’s on early Saturday mornings. On weekdays, it’s on Decades.

OK. It must not be on weekday mornings on MeTV anymore or something.

It haven't been on Weekdays Schedule for Good While now on metv i think it was move to weekends year before Last when after the Summer of Me that year.

WKRP starts tonight.Lucky people who get the channel. :(

I work most evenings, so unfortunately, I don't get home until after 10. I do kinda wish they'd air it in place of Hogan's Heroes, but I'm just being self-centered. :lol:

Hopefully, this show does well enough for MeTV to keep it around for a while. A lot of shows they had seem to come and go (T.J. Hooker and MacGyver come to mind) pretty quickly.

I have a couple of questions for the OP:
1) When will the Summer of Me schedule be out? Last year, it was out two days ago. I just want to know if there'll be any new sitcoms joining.

2) I also am wondering about May 26th's Sven movie, and possibly June 2nd.
