We enjoy Me TV! We love My Three Sons & Leave It To Beaver & The Andy Griffith Show & The Brady Bunch!

My question is why hasn’t Me TV brought any new Sitcoms from the 1950’s 1960’s & 1970’s and 1980’s In? There seems to be so many TV Programs out there but when a New Schedule comes out it’s a minor change. It’s usually a Drama for another drama or Sci-Fi for another Sci-Fi.That’s good though because one would assume Me TV is doing well. Although it’s not trying to add to its success either.

We enjoy going to Me TV’s website and playing trivia talking about shows no classic TV channel offers currently.In addition having Me TV having a story on old commercials or old restaurants that no longer exist. There is more programming being discussed online as opposed to onair.

Example being the 3 hour tour of Gilligans island on Sunday’s is a creative idea but why are all of the classic tv shows that arent airring anywhere airring in rotation?

We enjoy Me TV’s Christmas Programming because they at times air shows that aren’t usually on the Regular line up.

We’re not trying to look negatively at Me TV! It just seems they are more focused on Me TV’s online and Me TV’s Merchandise and Me TV’s Music and it’s sister network that we don’t receive here Decades more Love than it’s ONAIR and it’s Programming Schedule.

Bottom line. Time to do some Spring Cleanning to your onair Programming and Schedule.

They Go by Rating and when shows does well they do not touch it and Westerns does good for the network. along with rest of the shows. plus with others digital networks around some of the other programs is under contract to others networks.

also, an unfortunate drawback of the popularity of these "retro-channels" is that; as more and more of them appear the prices of these vintage programs keeps increasing. That's why Antenna TV started that "credit crunch" and sadly I feel that ME TV, Decades and H & I will start doing it one of these days.:(

That's why I buy dvds of classic shows. That way I don't have to put up with the credit crunching. Plus I can watch my favorite shows whenever I want without commercials.

With the exception of some unreleased dvds (Which I have a way of obtaining) there is no reason why anyone needs to depend on "Retro-Channels" or other TV networks.

As mentioned by others, Me-TV is by far the most popular of the Retro channels (with something like 200 affiliates), so as the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Also keep in mind that Weigel, which owns Me-TV, also owns Decades, Heroes and Icons, and the new Start channel, all of which show dozens of sitcoms and dramas from all of those decades. So unless Me-TV starts tanking in the ratings, I wouldn't expect to see any major shake-ups in their current programming.

I don’t get these ratings. I just don’t understand how people don’t get tired of the same shows being run into the ground and played to death.

I almost solely rely on DVDs. They’re just the most convenient with no crazy edits and credit crunching and I can watch them on my own schedule. I rarely watch any network TV anymore.

well, keep in mind that not everyone can afford a DVD player and TV DVDs.

I love watching DVD's of my favorite shows!!;) Only trouble is if you have to pee !:eek: When you watch your shows on TV , esp. on the retro cable channels with lots of commercials it's not a problem, but with DVD's if you have to pee you gotta wait till the show is over or you will miss stuff!!:( Other than that DVD's are really cool and the best way to watch the shows you love !!;)

why not just pause the DVD?

I'm not very modern technology inclined!!:crazy: By the time I figure out how to pause the DVD I would have peed in my pants!!!! :eek::lol::wave:

what the hell's so hard about it? You just press a button!!

For TV DVDs try places like Half Price Books. I picked up Hazel season 1 really cheap (new ones are VERY expansive) at Half Price Books, via Amazon.

For the player try estate sales, etc.

My issue is a show like My Three Sons, which is edited on MeTV, and most seasons aren't on DVD and the TV syndication episodes are really poor quality.

Well there are about 6,000 buttons on a DVD remote and I'm blonde and elderly ! :D It was only within the last two years or so that I know how to watch the individual eps. I want , I used to have to run the thing from the beginning to get to the eps. I wanted to watch!:crazy: Seriously ! Finally my Hubby showed me how! So I guess I could learn to Pause too , this old blonde CAN learn new tricks!!! :lol::wave:

I won't get into collecting again. Decades ago was into video cassette. Taped shows and had a cub bards of them. I threw all of them away. The shows pop up. and how much do really want spend time watching. . As for DVD I'm happy renting a DVR and using that. I don't spend money when I can get the shows for free. As for the same shows, I still haven't seen them all.

With these digital devices there's always new stuff to learn. I'm still learning new tricks with a DVD recorder I've had since 2005.

MeTV is a great option. For one thing their shows aren't as heavily edited as some other networks.

I agree MeTV is the best of the retro channels right now, they have the best variety in their programming. While I'm not happy with the episodes being chopped up and sped up/time compressed I can still for the most part enjoy watching them. And the editing does help save on time watching them, and time is the one commodity that's in short supply as we're all getting older, isn't it.

I record shows with my Tivo and from there copy them to my computer to save. I'm not into buying shows on DVD, too expensive and they take up too much space in the home. As someone said at one time it was VHS tapes, I still have a ton of those cluttering up my closet. I'm trying to slowly go through those and transfer them to digital format so I can get rid of them. And once I buy all those DVDs how many times am I going to watch them, once if at all? I don't have time to watch even 10% of the shows I'm now recording but at least it isn't costing me anything, I'm just saving them for some unknown rainy day in the future.

Yes I agree It’s a AWESOME Channel! I guess I Just don’t understand why they don’t air The Ed Sullivan Show after Carol Burnett. Perry Mason is already on in the Morning.

Why they don’t air The Monkee’s Saturday Nights (Early Sunday Mornnings from 12AM-2AM)?

My Suggestion would be Switching up time slots a little bit.
7:30AM Gomer Pyle USMC (Replacing My Three Sons)
8AM-9AM Hogan’s Heroes (Replacing 2 episodes of Leave It To Beaver)

6pm The Jefferson’s (Replaces Mama’s Family)
6:30pm WKRP In Cincinnati (Replaces The Jefferson’s)

8pm My Three Sons (Replacing The Andy Griffith Show)
8:30pm The Andy Griffith Show
9pm-10pm Leave It To Beaver (Replacing Gomer Pyle & WKRP In Cincinnati)
10pm Mama’s Family (Replacing Hogan’s Heroes)
10:30pm Carol Burnett & FRIENDS (Replacing Hogan’s Heroes)
11pm-12AM The Ed Sullivan Show (Replacing Carol Burnett & Perry Mason)
12AM The Andy Griffith Show (Replaces Perry Mason)
