RETURNING SHOWS: Gilligan's Island, The Odd Couple

LEAVING SHOWS: Hawaii Five-O

I'm only listing the changes here. If a time slot is not listed, it is not changing from the current schedule.

WEEKDAYS:
5PM: Charlie's Angels replaces The Wild, Wild West
6PM: Mama's Family replaces Hawaii Five-O
6:30PM: The Jeffersons replaces Hawaii Five-O

SATURDAYS:

2:30PM: Diff'rent Strokes replaces The Facts of Life (the 2PM episode of FOL is still intact)
3PM: Gilligan's Island replaces Diff'rent Strokes
3:30PM: Gilligan's Island replaces Diff'rent Strokes
5PM/5:30PM: The Jeffersons replaces The Love Boat (the 6PM Love Boat episode is still intact)

Also of note, My Three Sons continues on with season 11 starting May 30th, which I don't think they've ever shown before.

Yes!!! Its about time that Charlie’s Angels is being added to METV schedule.

Wonder who the Summer of MeTV host is going to be?

the jeffersons on me tv cool choice

Glad to see The Jeffersons but why oh why do they have to keep that lame MASH and Hogan’s Heroes hogging the same spot so long? I wish The Jeffersons could have taken one of the Hogan spots. At least the later airing of Touched by an Angel is staying which I am glad for. Now that they have the Jeffersons, hopefully it will turn up on a Decades binge sometime later this year.

Interesting Mama's Family is going back where it originally was. Maybe they noticed H5O doesn't do as well as MF did. Good choice there, also with The Jeffersons. I'm glad to see another hour of sitcoms.

You're right, My Three Sons season 11 (and 12, as well) haven't been shown for years (at least 15) (other than a few misc. showings on Decades).

Yes it’s great about My Three Sons. I just wish it was on in the evening instead of the early morning. Hopefully Decades will do a binge of it sometime this summer too like they did the last two summers.

Gilligan's Island Sundays at 3! Now that Antenna is gonna be airing Family Ties at that time on weekends, I can just tune in to Gilligan cuz I HATE Family Ties. Thank you MeTV


I APPROVE!

NAAAAAHHHHH FAMILY TIES :mad:

:P

I have both Gilligan and Family Ties complete on DVD so it doesn’t really matter when they are on to me.

By the way snowpeck, do you have access to upcoming Decades binge marathon schedules?

Im so happy that my three sons is staying on, im enjoying seeing all the seasons, its the only show I watch on metv currently. I see leave it to beaver is starting over with season 1 on tuesday so I may start taping that and if gilligan's island and jeffersons start with the first season I may tape those. I started watching mama family but fell off of it when betty white and rue mclanhan and even the original kids left, I didnt like the later seasons, maybe its only me but maybe I'll try again some day.

6/2 is as far as I can go right now. It's "Werewolf of London" (1935).

snowpeck,

Do you have a idea of what the Laff movies for the next few weeks are?

Anybody can access their schedule: http://www.laff.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/LAF-Website-EST-Grid-04-30-18-thru-06-24-18.pdf

Odd Couple is always a good pick, IMO.

Oh good. A classic Universal. THanks.:wave:

I'm glad they're brining back THE ODD COUPLE, I'm disappointed though that they're keeping MASH.

If I remember correctly Me TV seems to come out with a small schedule change at the start of May, August, December than by the mid-End of May, Early-Mid September they make bigger schedule changes.Please correct me if I’m wrong.

ONG!!! I wish I got Decades channel. :eek: Maybe I do and just don't know it? :confused: I would love to see Bridget loves Bernie, The White Shadow, Here come the brides and The streets of San Francisco! ;)

Really...some of these shows haven't been seen in years. I'd have to mount an antenna to get Decades, but it might be worth it.

I know right? I'd really like to have that channel !! Wow!! Bridget loves Bernie!! I haven't seen that since it was first run in the early 70's!!! :)

Would be nice if some of the westerns went away.

I’m all for that

Make that three.

I mean, don’t get rid of all, but only some of the westerns.

Yes, there are too many. I mean, all day Saturday (9am-7pm)? Gimme a break.

:lol: :D

Oh I get it now, he wants a break from the westerns. I actually thought he wanted Gimme a Break off of MeTV's western schedule. Even though it's only on Antenna TV's schedule. Good lord I'm dumb!

An hour of westerns did get taken off weekdays with Charlie's Angels replacing Wild Wild West.

What will be on from 4-5 ? Hoping Rhoda or I Love Lucy ! ;) And kinda bummed about Different strokes.:( I get home from work about 3:30 on Sunday and enjoyed being able to catch the second ep. ! But Gilligan is cool too! ;) Glad about Odd couple. I haven't seen that in a really long time!

I know! I haven't seen it on TV since Friday!! :lol:

I know! I haven't seen it on TV since Friday!! :lol:Canada must air Charlie's Angels a lot more than the US then. I haven't seen the original series airing anywhere since WGN had a one day marathon after Farrah Fawcett died.

Wish some more westerns would be removed besides just one.

We had it on a local LeSea channel for a year, last year. They replaced it and Hart to Hart with sitcoms. They now have an afternoon of sitcoms...Jeannie, Who's the Boss?, Steve Harvey Show, and Mad About You. They also show Just Shoot Me at 11 pm, which is pretty adult for a religious station.

I think he was talking about LeSea TV

It's a local religious channel in Indianapolis owned by LeSea Broadcasting.

I like "Mama" and "The Jeffersons" weeknights!

Seems like the Summer schedules are always better than the regular.

So is this the permanent Summer Of Me schedule? Do we even know who the host or hostess will be yet?

Since they haven't started promos yet, you have to wonder if they're even going to bother with Summer of Me this year.

Maybe it's not in their budget. People like Barry Williams and Dawn Wells don't work for free.

If there is money I'd like to see Vicki Lawrence (as Mama) host it.

its only may mabye in week or two when it almost time for june just my thought

I really wish they'd put The Beverly Hillbillies & Petticoat Junction on at better times.

its officiel jeffersons did a me tv coming soon promo on their fb page.

I've heard about this just yesterday.

Nice to see Charlie's Angles will be back on Mon-Friday at 5pm.

They also aired promos for both CA and The Jeffersons today.

I do, indeed. The ones that are really far out are subject to change.

All weak shows. Not one winner in the whole group.

I know. I was really hoping for something good. Square Pegs might be worth checking out but absolutely nothing else there interests me. So far, there have been five Decades binge marathons in 2018 that I have watched some of. Get Smart in January, Diff’rent Strokes and The Facts of Life in February, Our Miss Brooks and Laverne and Shirley in March. Nothing else they have shown interest me. I really hope they will do Petticoat Junction, My Three Sons, Taxi, WKRP, and The Jeffersons sometime later this year.

I just googled Summer of Me, and the MeTV site still has last summer's stuff on there. Seems there's not going to be be a Summer of Me promotion this year. Also seems they ought to clean up their website.

Antenna TV had a Partridge Family Mother's Day marathon last Sunday in honor of Shirley Jones, which I thought was a nice touch. Decades or Me could have countered that with shows like The Donna Reed Show, The Brady Bunch, or Leave It To Beaver, but unwisely chose not to.

MeTV is too hung up on Westerns on Saturday, to do anything special on weekends.

I just googled Summer of Me, and the MeTV site still has last summer's stuff on there. Seems there's not going to be be a Summer of Me promotion this year. Also seems they ought to clean up their website.

MeTV is going downhill. At least they don’t crunch credits like Antenna, but they leave the same programs in the same slots for too long and now they’ve gotten lazy with their website and their promos. Summer of Me used to be a lot more fun, now there’s not much to it.

My Three Sons is the only show I even watch and I'm so glad they are doing a whole cycle this time, I havent seen every episode and I'm so enjoying it. such a good show. I wasn't around at that time. Shows back them seems so carefree and what families should be doing. nowadays I really don't what happened.

I just wish they would move My Three Sons to evenings so I can see it at a convenient time for me. I wish it was on instead of that lame Hogan’s Heroes.

would be awesome to see one in the day and one episode in the night time hour. , IMO its the best show on right now.

Is this even accurate?

I'm thankful that I have most of my favorite shows on DVD and seldom need to watch the retro channels now. The only channel that I still pay attention to is Antenna TV, and that's only because they air The Joey Bishop Show and there are a few episodes that I'm waiting to be aired so I can record them.

MeTV has been going downhill for a while. Maybe they are doing away with their Summer Of Me gimmick, I don't know. I haven't watched MeTV in a long time. They used to telecast in fullscreen, but now they telecast in that garbage widescreen style, with the shrunken picture and black bars at the bottom and top. I hate widescreen.

GetTV used to telecast in fullscreen, but now they've gone to the widescreen garbage too. RTV (RetroTV) telecasts in widescreen too. I guess that's the trend these days but I hate it. Glad I have my DVD's to watch that are in fullscreen format.

Antenna is still fullscreen. Mmmm mmmm mmmm Delicious fullscren

Antenna is still fullscreen. Mmmm mmmm mmmm Delicious fullscren

Yes, Antenna TV is still one of the fullscreen telecast holdouts. Wouldn't surprise me though if they eventually go widescreen too :rolleyes:. I'll be happy as long as they stay fullscreen until I get all the Joey Bishop's recorded. :lol:

Antenna TV is still in nice, normal standard definition. MeTV locally is full screen, but that full screen where everything is squeezed-looking from the sides. On a smaller cable box I have called a DTA, it looks different, where the aspect ratio is all off, and the picture looks too zoomed in.

I think all that would be resolved if the local channel put it in widescreen. MeTV should have stuck with SD, like Antenna TV.

Analog TV telecasting was a lot better. In 2009 the digital conversion was forced on to the public and it's a pile of garbage.

Widescreen is bad, but the screen with the black bars on the sides is even worse. That is how we get Cozi TV. Since I have a standard definition TV (even if I had an HD one, I wouldn't pay the cable company extra for it), I'd just like to see a regular TV picture, like Antenna TV.

Strangely, Antenna TV for me isn't full-screen. It's letterboxed (the small square "postage stamp"), but Me-TV is full screen albeit cropped a bit. Cozi TV has a very crappy signal where I am, but I don't regret not having it.

Widescreen is bad, but the screen with the black bars on the sides is even worse. That is how we get Cozi TV.

I used to receive MeTV that way, a square picture in the center of the screen with black bars on all four sides. That was ridiculous. There must have been some complaints because now MeTV is transmitted in widescreen with the black bars at the top and bottom, which is almost as bad and not much of an improvement.

Oh, yeah, there's also the black bars on all 4 sides. I don't understand why there's so many versions. I'm sure there are technical explanations that would go over my head.

I remember some of the colorized Lucys on CBS were presented that way, but the on-demand version was full screen.

First time on any network I have ever seen The Jeffersons on, a warning of it containing strong language and that it may not be suitable for all ages.

Was like an episodes of COPS was about to appear.

227448

I completely forgot about The Jeffersons starting today. I was wondering how/if they'd handle the N word situation.

OK, I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. Antenna TV to the best of my knowledge never did this--why MeTV? Just imagine if MeTV aired All in the Family...

When I watched an episode of 21 Jump Street on the Decades binge they had a "viewer discretion is advised" disclaimer as well. On top of that, Svengoolie also edits really 1970s made for TV movies like Ants and Terror Out of the Sky "for content", as well as Barracuda. I get that kids may be watching, I do, but their parents shouldn't have very young kids watching The Jeffersons, 21 Jump Street, or horror movies. Just sayin'. I didn't watch The Jeffersons so I guessed I missed out:lol:

OK, I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. Antenna TV to the best of my knowledge never did this--why MeTV?

I know Antenna didn't because I recorded the show.

the N Word was Bleeped out but Honkey was not the show was edited

the N Word was Bleeped out but Honkey was not the show was edited
Well, if they bleeped out "N" then why still have the viewer warning? That be the case, they should have a warning before Mama's Family.

Anybody know if Antenna TV also did the same bleeping?

I noticed MeTV didn't do the typical bleep sound, just silence instead.

Also it seems like Antenna didn't get Jeffersons extremely long compared to how long they had other Lear shows.

Was it like a bleeping sound or did they just mute it?

Was it like a bleeping sound or did they just mute it?

Mute

Mute

That doesn't surprise me.

Why have the "viewer discretion is advised"? It makes The Jeffersons sound like a slasher flick.

Nope, Antenna was unedited.

the credit crunch doesn't seem so bad does it?

That doesn't surprise me.

Why have the "viewer discretion is advised"? It makes The Jeffersons sound like a slasher flick.

That seems really dumb. When The Jeffersons aired on TV Land, most episodes actually carried a TV-G rating, with about maybe 10-12 episodes carrying a TV-PG-L rating because of the n-word, yet most of the time it was muted out anyway. This makes it look like something really bad and it isn’t. I’ve never known MeTV to do this on any other shows and some of them contain far more adult content and situations then anything on The Jeffersons.

I didn’t see it today on MeTV but at the beginning once it started, was it rated TV-PG or TV-PG-L? Also, all episodes are TV-PG-L on TV One even though most of them don’t have the n word.

I have the episode recorded on my MythTV DVR.

I don't see any rating at the beginning at all.

It just seems to go from Warning Message to Opening as if you were watching it off a DVD.

I'm wondering if the warning was simply on the master tape, as originally shown on the network in the 70s, and was just a mistake airing it on MeTV. It happens on MeTV--on early Brady Bunch episodes, they leave in the original Brady Bunch in Color slide.

(This might be on the DVD set, if anyone has it to check.)

Antenna didn't have it, so it wasn't on the master tapes. MeTV added it as a precautionary measure more than likely. Antenna leaves the original SOAP disclaimer in at the beginning of the show, but they wouldn't add a "viewer discretion is advised" themselves. MeTV just added it, although it seems extreme since they bleeped out N anyway.

Well, if they bleeped out "N" then why still have the viewer warning? That be the case, they should have a warning before Mama's Family.

Mama called people N's??

Mama called people N's??
LOL No.

My point was if they bleeped out "N" on The Jeffersons, there was no need for the warning because the language on Mama's Family is about the same as TJ.

Is there no host for this year at all?

Nope.

Nope.

I figured that. Will there be a new official summer schedule though?

Oh alright. The thread title should be changed to something like Summer Of Me schedule.

Oh alright. The thread title should be changed to something like Summer Of Me schedule.

Yes, I agree. It is the Summer of Me schedule, though, unless they do some random tweaks. I'd love to see them replace Diagnosis Murder with Remington Steele like they did last summer. I love Remington Steele, and I hate Diagnosis Murder oh so much. I wish it would get removed, but fortunately it's on at a time when I don't watch TV.

It does seem strange, I thought Loni Anderson or Howard Hesseman from WKRP would host considering WKRP runs on weeknights.

That's crazy. TJ doesn't have anymore bad language in it than Mama's Family.

True. Besides an occasional damn or hell, there’s really not any bad language except for a few instances of the n word which occurred in maybe 10 or 12 episodes. This silly disclaimer makes it sounds like there’s lots of crass and vulgar swearing in it and there’s not.

Are the ratings still showing up on the other shows on Me?

Are the ratings still showing up on the other shows on Me?

Yeah, it's just The Jeffersons that doesn't. It's weird.

So did that crazy message show up on the Jeffersons tonight?

So I checked The Jeffersons tonight and there was no disclaimer but the rating did come on and it was rated TV-14-L. That is just ridiculous. There’s nothing in The Jeffersons that should warrant a TV-14 rating. It was only TV-PG-L on TV Land if the n-word was used otherwise it was TV-G. The Jeffersons was one of the more family friendly shows of Norman Lear, with the exception of maybe 3 or 4 episodes. I could understand if a few episodes of All in the Family or Maude were TV-14 as those are more adult themed but even then those are mostly PG and it’s also strange every episode of All in the Family is TV-14 on get. Is this nation just getting too politically correct that classic shows from the 70s need a TV-14 rating?

That is extremely unnecessary. I get All in the Family or Maude or even One Day at a Time being TV-14 but not The Jeffersons. Ratings didn't even exist back when The Jeffersons aired, either, but TV-14-L is extreme.

That’s what I’m thinking. I watched the episode and enjoyed it. Only language I heard were two damns and one hell which is very mild and nothing more than what might be heard on Mama’s Family. Definitely not TV-14 language. The storyline was about the Jeffersons and Willises having a protest party in The Jeffersons apartment and George gets a piano and a piano man to try to impress Mr. Whittendale who ends up not coming. The piano man is also sick and the mover who brought the piano ends up playing. Nothing offensive or inappropriate about that. Don’t know how it got to be TV-14.

And in the past MeTV has aired Cheers, which fairly frequently has sexually suggestive content and its only TV-PG. Makes no sense at all.

Yeah, and Cheers is more risque than The Jeffersons in many ways! We'll have to check in on Monday to see what happens to The Jeffersons on Me. If nobody else will, I will.

Sure thing, as I’m not home when it’s on Monday-Thursday. It’s also on sunday afternoons with two episodes.

OK, I'll check it out on Monday. It has the "honor", then, of being the first show to be rated TV-14 on MeTV.

MeTV and Decades have done some other crazy ratings as well. Diff’rent Strokes and The Facts of Life are both rated TV-PG on MeTV, and while those two shows do have a small handful of episodes where TV-PG applies, the majority of them should be TV-G. They were TV-G when Nick at Nite aired them about 18 years ago.

Even crazier is Decades. I have seen I Love Lucy, My Three Sons, The Brady Bunch, and Laverne and Shirley all air with TV-PG ratings on Decades. I sure don’t know who came up with that idea.

man i feel old its been 18 years since they aired on Nick at Nite. Man I feel so old now.

That's what I'm thinking now instead of what I said before.

I like having The Jeffersons and Mama's Family on weekdays, I just wish they were on between 8-10pm.

Same here

That'd be great if Mama's Family and The Jeffersons were from 8-9pm and Andy Griffith from 6-7pm or something like that.

I've seen some of those odd TV-PG ratings--not sure it's exclusive to MeTV.

I'm sure I've seen a PG on Cozi's airing of Danny Thomas. Granted, he's a hothead. I guess little Johnny needs some guidance to deal with his temper, even if it's just a TV show.

I just did some checking, and every McHale's Navy on Antenna TV next week carries a TV-PG rating. Huh?

The Andy Griffith hour on my FOX affiliate and some TV Land episodes carries a TV-PG rating on my guide. Jeff Foxworthy's game shows Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader and The American Bible Challenge both were TV-PG. Dennis the Menace might have had TV-PG too, and I think I have seen TV-PG for I Love Lucy. All of them nothing remotely PG usually. :crazy:

I wish Green Acres would be added.

I wish Green Acres would be added.

I’m assuming you don’t get ThisTV.

The Jeffersons today

Yeah, it has a TV-14 L on MeTV, but the TV Guide says TV-PG. They need to get their act together.

I wish Green Acres would be added.

You can watch Green Acres free on Light TV.

Their website has a free live stream.

Sorry you don’t get the channel.

So if This TV is airing Green Acres, chances are it won't air on MeTv anytime soon huh since they are own by the same company, same with I Love Lucy since its on Decades. I wonder if they still plan to air Adam-12 and Dragnet on MeTV.

Weigel owns MeTV and Tribune/MGM owns This TV as of 2013.

This TV and Antenna TV are both owned by Tribune.

There were rumors going around that Green Acres was moving to MeTV sometime in 2018. Don’t know when that’s supposed to happen.

I used to have H&I on DIRECTV until MeTV replaced it. Not complaining.

So earlier in the week I sent an email to Me asking why The Jeffersons was TV-14. No response from them, but when I turned it on today, it’s TV-PG-L. Maybe they saw my email. Hopefully the TV-14 and disclaimer nonsense has stopped. Interesting though, this particular episode I’m watching has one n-word and I noticed it was muted and the closed captions showed XXXXX in place of it, so there’s still some censorship. Seems silly to use the L sub rating if the word is muted.

They always do that even if the words are muted or bleeped. They do it on A&E reality shows all the time, for example. Must be some requirement--I agree it's silly.

The TV Guide shows PG on TJ but doesn't give the reason (the reality shows do).

6/2 is as far as I can go right now. It's "Werewolf of London" (1935).

snowpeck, do you have any info for July Svengoolie movies?

The only one I have is 7/7, which is "The Medusa Against the Son of Hercules."

And snowpeck, do you also have information on July and August Decades binge marathons?

All I have is 7/7-8, which is Wiseguy.

And Svengoolie on 7/14 is "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" starring Don Knotts.

Barracuda (1978).

Looks like starting June 25, Andy Griffith will finally start airing at 8/8:30 in my area.

^Well, they kept showing ads for TAGS coming June 25 but Gomer Pyle was still on at 8 and 8:30....

Maybe they forgot to reprogram their computer.

Here, many months ago, suddenly Gomer (or it might have been Mayberry RFD at the time) was gone and Andy started, but they didn't update the TV Guide.

Funny thing is, my Directv guide said "Andy".

We'll see what happens tonight.

Looks like they got it right tonight. Yay!

Svengoolie on July 28th is "Munster, Go Home!"

Snowpeck, any updates on July and August Decades binge marathons?

Nothing exciting in July but the Lucy Show might be good. Hopefully they will have some more sitcoms in August. They show way too many dramas.

The one with Dean Cain.

Thanks very much snowpeck.

Svengoolie on July 28th is "Munster, Go Home!"

Thank you.

I read the first 2 pages and the last 2 pages of this thread. It seems like ME-TV is still a somewhat good channel. Too bad ME-TV isn't on any of the streaming sites.

Me-TV's still a good channel, even though it goes overboard with its westerns, M*A*S*H and Hogan's Heroes. I mainly just watch it for Svengoolie on Saturday nights, but occasionally also watch Matlock on Weekdays and WKRP on Weeknights.

ME TV is one of the best of all the retro-channels, and I agree they go overboard with MASH but not the westerns.

MASH really does need to go because it’s on so many other channels.

MASH really does need to go because it’s on so many other channels.

Absolutely. And Hogan’s Heroes needs to be reduced to one airing and moved to another timeslot.i just wish they would move Diff’rent Strokes, Facts of Life, and My Three Sons to primetime instead of in the early morning. I sometimes watch The Jeffersons and WKRP if I’m around. I also watch Touched by an Angel if I’m not busy on Sundays. I also wish they would bring back the Honeymooners.

ME TV is one of the best of all the retro-channels, and I agree they go overboard with MASH but not the westerns.M*A*S*H just airs one hour a day on Me TV. Westerns take up a large chunk of weekdays and a humongous chunk of Saturdays.

Given the hatred of westerns in this thread I'm not sure anyone will care, but after finishing up the color episodes, they're going back to the half hour episodes of Gunsmoke on July 31. I wonder if they're going to attempt what they've done with My Three Sons and go through the entire series in order. No TV channel has ever done that since the original run. I think every episode has aired at one point or another on MeTV but never the whole 20 years in chronological order.

Also that week, they'll be wrapping up the run of My Three Sons. I don't know if they're going back to the beginning the following week.

The Svengoolie movie on August 4th is Son of Frankenstein (1939).

635 episodes...wow, that would take awhile. My Three Sons has taken over a year...it would have been even longer, but they had them doubled up for a couple of months.

It will be interesting to see what they do with M3S, episode-wise. I assume it's staying on the schedule, since we've not heard otherwise.

They need to do two episodes of My Three Sons a day like they did before instead of one. It has so many episodes, one a day is just not enough.

My Three Sons goes back to the first episode on August 6th.

Svengoolie on August 11th is "The Wolf Man" (1941).

Third year in a row...wow. I mean, it's been back but...cool. Classic movie. I wonder when the other Toho movies and the awful TV movies will be back so I can avoid them like the plague (except Gargoyles wasn't awful).

My Three Sons goes back to the first episode on August 6th.

Svengoolie on August 11th is "The Wolf Man" (1941).

I so wish Decades would do a My Three Sons marathon especially if they’re showing the black and white ones. By the way snowpeck, any updates on more Decades binge marathons in August after the Lucy Show the first weekend?

i want see Happy days on decades

By the way snowpeck, any updates on more Decades binge marathons in August after the Lucy Show the first weekend?
Not yet.

The Decades binge on August 11-12 is 21 Jump Street.

Do you know the Sven movie for August 18?

Do you know the Sven movie for August 18?

"House of Frankenstein" (1944).

I don't think my area is even getting Decades anymore, so I'll be missing the September binges unfortunately.

"House of Frankenstein" (1944).

Do you know the Sven movie for August 25? Thanks.

I'd love to see Me-TV send Twilight Zone, Journey to the Bottom of the Sea, Lost in Space, Battlestar Galactica, Hitchcock, etc to H+I, along with bringing back Thriller and other unused shows. Rename that one for a fantasy-thriller channel..Take the crime dramas from H+I and place them in a new channel with Kojak and the like. Love Me-TV for classic comedies and non-action drama. There are a ton out there not airing.

There ought to be a Sitcoms channel. Antenna TV is pretty close.

And also the first Sven movie of September if you have it? Thanks.

Also, I know some people are curious about the upcoming Decades binges if you have any info on that. Thanks again, snowpeck!:wave:

does me tv have anything on a fall schedule its almost august

Does anyone know which version of Tarzan will be airing after 21 Jump Street?

Will it be the 60s version or the one from the 90s?

There ought to be a Sitcoms channel. Antenna TV is pretty close.

How about Laff? All they show is sitcoms. Antenna also only shows sitcoms and Johnny Carson is a comedy show. Antenna doesn't air a single drama.

According to zap2it, August 25 is "House of Horrors". Not one of my favorites, but oh well, it's OK.

I’m anxious to see MeTV’s fall schedule. I just hope we see it soon.

The summer schedule must be doing well this year. IIRC they made changes around Aug. 1 last year.
