What do you guys think MeTV's schedule for January 2021 will be like?

I hope MASH and Hogans stay on the schedule. It would be criminal to move them.

I hope HH does, but I hope MASH doesn't. They've had that ever since they went national in 2012-and always 2 episodes at 7 & 7:30; 6 nights a week!!!:eek:

I hope MASH and Hogans stay on the schedule. It would be criminal to move them.

Absolutely not! They’ve overstayed their welcome for way to long hogging the same spots. They definitely need to go. If they do stay at least move them to a different time and put something else at those times.

Oh, yes! We wouldn’t want to move precious M*A*S*H and Hogan’s Heroes. Even though they’ve hogged up the 6:00pm & 6:30pm and the 9:00pm & 9:30pm timeslots for almost over a decade and for over five years now.

What do you guys think MeTV's schedule for January 2021 will be like?

I'd like to see MASH and TAGS moved to the 8-10 AM slot with LITB moved to 10-11 AM
The Invaders and the Fugitive moved to the midnight slot
A feature slot like from 8-10 pm Fridays just to showcase short lived series that never ran long enough to gain syndication (shows like Grindl and Many Happy Returns) perhaps rotating which show is featured each week.

Oh yes!! He tears them commercials up! And don’t forget those 1-800-Phone Sexy commercials! How wholesome and innocent and non-annoying!

I can't get enough of MASH so hopefully they give it its own 23-hour block every day, with the remaining hour for Hogan's Heroes. :happyface

But honestly I've been watching MeTV for 8 and a half years and MASH has always been in the same slot it is today. I don't necessarily have anything against the show but as I've said in years past, a change-up is more than welcome for that hour.

Yes, and hopefully they mess it up with that pleasant, irresistible credit crunch to go with that. Now I just can’t get enough of THAT. :lol:

I don't care for either show but their staples and they must do great to stay in their timeslots forever.

Will Thelma Harper and company still be on the schedule? I don't like how Me sacrificed the double-episode Mama's slot for the Merry MeTV programming. Just two episodes have aired in the last several weeks, with the second ("Santa Mama") airing this past evening.

Well the Saturday Morning Cartoons will debut on January 2 so we shouldn’t have to wait until the end of the month the schedule should be released sometime next week or something like that.

if they don't take MASH off they should at least cut it back to one episode a week and put it in a different time slot-Sunday afternoon at 2 or 2:30 would be good.

MeTV has too many dramas. Heroes and Icons should have the crime shows.

FULL SCHEDULE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i-R1IeZfO2CL_mM-VaXeU5OJE1yegluA/view?usp=sharing

Digital Dookie

Pretty much the same crummy schedule as always. Sure wish the cartoons were on at night.

Instead of Carol Burnett in the 10:00pm Sunday slot, why not the best of I Love Lucy? The Gilligan's Island three hr tour is back on Sunday afternoons replacing Happy Days and L&S rock around the clock programming block. Surprise they are keeping My Three Sons, Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction on the schedule.

There will still be over 8hrs of Western shows on Saturday. Glad to see they put Collector's Call on what is probably a short hiatus.

Glad the cartoons will be joinning. Sad to see Laverne & Shirley leave. Yes, I agree with the poster that suggested having I Love Lucy at 10pm Sunday Nights. I hope they will add The Monkee’s & Newhart somewhere down the road. Perhaps the Summer of Me TV 2021?

it really amazes me how Hogan's Heroes doesn't get the boot from the 10:00 P.M. time slot because that show is crummy. Mash and The Andy Griffith Show are really overplayed at this point too. I'd love to see some different sitcoms on there like Here's Lucy, The Bob Newhart Show, or Mr. Ed.

A couple of years ago, they use to have a Sunday lineup where they played a bunch of good sitcoms starting at 10:00 PM. I think they were The Honeymooners, Cheers,The Bob Newhart Show, and Taxi. Afterwards, there would be a ton of good cop shows early in the morning like Route 66, Mr. Luky, Banacek, 77 Sunset Strip and so forth.

They really need to get rid of those westerns and also improve their sitcom lineup because it's getting kind of stale.

Agreed on everything reguarding the Sitcoms! Me TV has said they have tryed all shows at 10pm & 10:30pm and the only show that works there is.. Hogans Heroes.

Unfortunately, the weeknight primetime ratings are probably good enough where they don't have to rock the boat and program something different.

I think they should cut out Wagon Train during the weekdays and replace it with Dallas.

Still happy to finally see Looney Tunes back on Saturday morning where they belong. Hoping the cartoons will help capture a younger market for METV so we will see less medicare commercials in the future.

I wish they would get a little more aggressive about pushing the Decades channel into more local markets. Where I live right now, there is a test pattern channel between Laff, GetTV and CoziTV that would be a perfect landing spot for Decades.

Yes I agree about Decades. There would a great spot for that but instead they are showing the local weather forecast every 15 minutes the other 15 minutes of commercials.

Here Lucy is under contract to CoziTV and Bob Newhart show is on sister network Decades MeTV did have Mr Ed at one time and then it rights expire it may still be under contract to Light TV

The old prime time soaps is very expensive and if you want to watch Dallas go to the imdb.com free streaming service.

What city?

East TN

If it's Knoxville and WATE that you are referring to, then it is Antenna TV that is coming soon.

WYHB, which is closer to Chattanooga.

Oh, okay - sorry I'm not sure what that will be.

If you find out, please let me know.

It’s a tough call for MeTV. They are a TV classics network without regard to genre. I see it as a well-rounded schedule, but those only looking for one genre will always be disappointed when another is scheduled. I’ve made my love for the Quinn Martin shows overnight known, but I’m also happy to watch I Love Lucy and another “never gets old” show — Leave It To Beaver.

Interesting mention in this thread of the primetime soaps. Apparently, it is extremely costly to get music clearance for many of these shows. It’s tedious and episode-by-episode. With standalone episodic shows, they can just skip the episode for broadcast, but that’s very difficult for serialized dramas (by their very nature of having a story arc week to week). Consider that at that time many of these shows began using contemporary music over simple show-owned soundtracks. It’s a recipe that makes it difficult to clear shows like Knot’s Landing, Dynasty, etc.

Dallas hardly used any music that would be difficult to clear. It’s more about the serialized nature of the shows. Serials don’t repeat as well (i.e. audience size) as standalone shows. So the nighttime soaps have never been as popular in reruns.

Unlike other serialized shows, Dallas has the one and only JR! One of TV's greatest villian/antihero.

Amen, Charley. Dallas is one of my favorites, and Hagman was simply amazing. It’s a crime that he never won an Emmy for that role.

I was watching I Dream of Jeannie the other day and it was the one with the phony Tony, whom Jeannie gives “the death of a thousand itches.” Watching Hagman portray that made me realize what a gifted physical comedian he was, too.

Here's the full schedule. Not much difference besides the addition of the cartoons.

I thought they’d be more changes but of course this is MeTV we’re talking about, the last time they had a schedule overhaul was Fall 2017 and that was over THREE years ago, and besides expectations were too high. Obviously Matlock, M*A*S*H, The Andy Griffith Show, Gomer Pyle, Green Acres, Hogan’s Heroes, The Twilight Zone, Perry Mason, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, etc. are doing incredibly well viewership and ratings wise since they’ve been staying in the same timeslot and on the same channel for YEARS now. It’s nice that they’ve cut down on the westerns with cartoons, which I’ll enjoy, but there’s still a good bit of westerns left on Saturdays and I don’t know why they sacrificed an episode of The Rifleman for Have Gun, Will Travel. God, I hate that western. And taking off I Love Lucy, Happy Days, and Laverne & Shirley ALREADY? They’ve hardly been on for a YEAR. And you can’t tell me that they weren’t pulling in ratings since that dreadful Gilligan’s Island’s Three Hour Tour is back. God, I swear that’s a punishment. Something told me that mess was coming back sooner or later. It was overplayed from Fall 2018 to Summer 2020 WAY TOO MUCH already like it’s about to be again. TRUST me, we DON’T need another dose. Don’t get me wrong, I like Gilligan’s Island but only in small doses not shoved in my face every Sunday for three hours straight for an eternity.

It's Wanted Dead Or Alive that is having to sacrifice an episode for Have Gun Will Travel. If that makes it any better.

Well I presume happy days is still on weekdays and Gilligan's Island was moved oit of weekdays to make room for cartoons. If so, it seems reasonable even if I don't care for gilligan. Anyway Happy Days is cycling ng back to the boring early years soon now that season 11 is wrapping up with the 'summer burn off' episodes.

I’m surprised they haven’t done more with Laverne & Shirley, which was such a big hit in its day. Maybe the numbers don’t justify it.

The treatment of I Love Lucy is also kind of a head scratcher. That’s been such an evergreen in syndication over the years, and the best they can do with it is an morning slot?

I’m glad the cartoons are separated out - Popeye at 7:00, Tom and Jerry at 8:00, Looney Tunes at 9:00 - on Sat morning. I was worried they would be mixed together and I only really like Looney Tunes. The weekday morning show looks like it will be a mix.

How do you know Popeye is at 7:00, Tom & Jerry is at 8:00 and Looney Tunes is at 9:00?

I wonder if showing the restored color episodes of I Love Lucy on Sunday night, might help bring in a new audience?

Have you seen the Tex Avery MGM toons? I ranked them up there with Looney Tunes in humor and quality. The old b&w 30's Fleischer Popeye cartoons are also really good.

Tex Avery also did some early Looney Tunes. He left Termite Terrace and probably went to MGM. I think the great Chuck Jones also eventually did some MGM toons, after Warners shut their animation unit in 1963. (This reminds me of the infamous later 60s contracted out Warner cartoons, such as the awful Rudy Larriva Road Runners. I sure hope MeTV doesn't bother with them...terrible animation, canned music...ugh!)

At some point MeTV or Decades got remastered copies of I Love Lucy, which look much better than the last time MeTV showed it. I do like the idea of them showing the colorized ones on Sunday evening. There are now enough of them to cover a few months.

Toon In To Me Block is a excellent addition to MeTV, I hope it can succeeds perfectly

Me, too. I'll be interested to see how many of the cartoons they use. I said on another post, I hope they don't use the horrible cartoons Warners contracted out to DePatie/Freleng, from 1964 to 1969 (after Warners shut their animation unit down). These included the wretched Rudy Larriva Road Runner cartoons. All the toons from this period included cheap animation and canned music.

(Correction: from 1967 to 1969 they reverted to Warner/Seven Arts. These were just as bad and cheap, and included the awful Speedy/Daffy Duck cartoons.)

MeTV's new slogan should be- Ain't Nothing Really Changed.

I see they're [B]STILL showing MASH 6 nights a week at 7 and 7:30.:mad:

They [U]REALLY need to give that show a rest. Either that or cut it back to one episode a week and move it to either late night or Sunday afternoons at..let's see...2 or 2:30 would be good

What's in the Toon In with Me block for weekdays?

What's in the Toon In with Me block for weekdays?

Popeye, Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes cartoons with live action hosts, kind of a throwback to the hosted cartoon shows of the 50s and 60s.

(remembers having liked certain cartoons attributed to a certain DePatie/Freleng distributed by a certain Warner Bros. (including cartoons involving a certain Road Runner and some cartoons involving both a certain Daffy Duck and a certain Speedy Gonzalez) after having read this message)

Yeah, there were quite a few Warner/Seven Arts toons where they matched Speedy and Daffy. Along with the DePatie/Freleng/Larriva Road Runners they made up the bulk of these mid-to late-sixties cartoons.

They should include the 40s Fleischer Superman shorts on the Popeye show.

It always seemed strange that they don't double pump Homer Pyle USMC, when they double-up MASH, Andy Griffith and Hogan's Heroes, Adam-12 and for a time The Flintstones.

A little Gomer Pyle USMC goes a long way.

I enjoy Me TV. They have programs I do enjoy. Although when I first received Me TV they had a lot of Progams. As of lately though they seem to be doubling up on Hours on programs take Sunday’s for example-

7AM-10AM Saved By The Bell
10AM-12pm The Flintstones
12pm-2pm The Brady Bunch
2pm-5pm Gilligan’s Island
5pm-6pm Mama’s Family

There are so many programs out there. Where Is My Three Sons & The Donna Reed Show & Lassie & I Love Lucy & Leave It To Beaver & Eight Is Enough and more!!! I even remember something called the Me TV Showcase. I may not always liked the showcase Every Week but there were Showcase I did enjoy. Come on Me TV please add to your programming. Another Example Have The Brady Bunch on at 12pm-1pm & 7pm-8pm. Or even Weekend’s 12pm-1pm.

Not terribly good. Mash and HH still in the same time slot :o:o

I don't like MASH, TAGS or HH but they get the ratings apparently.

I even remember something called the Me TV Showcase. I may not always liked the showcase Every Week but there were Showcase I did enjoy. Come on Me TV please add to your programming. Another Example Have The Brady Bunch on at 12pm-1pm & 7pm-8pm. Or even Weekend’s 12pm-1pm.
Donna Reed and ILL are on ME TVs sister network; Decades, and they DO show LITB and M3S. your local affiliate must not show them (like mine:()

Small schedule changes starting Sun March 21st:

8:00pm Columbo (90minute episodes)
9:30 The Best of the Ed Sullivan Show (30min compilation)

does that mean that ME TVs sister channel Decades won't be showing Sullivan anymore?

I'm sure it's just filler until they get back to the two-hour ones, shouldn't effect Decades.

MeTV should change it’s name to ReTV. Repetitive Entertainment Television.

MeTV could use huge shake-up in the weekday/weeknight schedule. We haven't gotten one since Summer 2017.

Actually, Fall 2017, with the addition of The Lucy Show, T.J. Hooker, Touched By An Angel, Hawaii Five-O, Cannon, The Facts Of Life, and more. As if that makes it any better. The fact that MeTV hasn’t had a shakeup in over three years defines the definition of repetition and tiresome.

Exactly, It’s been mere 4 years since the last time MeTV saw a few changes in the Monday thru Friday schedule

I would love to see a shake up BUT I don’t see one Happenning.

They just added Happy Days and Toon In with me to the Weekday schedule recently.

They added a Cartoon block to Saturday Mornings.

They just recently added a 3 Hour Tour Marathon of Gilligan’s Island Sunday’s.

In Spring of 2021 they are adding Columbo 90 minute episodes with The Best Od Ed Sullivan on Sunday’s.


The one question I do have is for the longest time on Me TV Gomer Pyle always aired at 5AM Saturday Mornings but when Jim Nabors passed his show move to 9pm WeekNights and apparently very successful. My question is why they don’t shake things up and try Leave It To Beaver and other shows in other time slots?

Welcome space1999. Like others have mentioned it would be great to see some moving around. For some reason, they never run Green Acres in the mornings, they never run Beaver or My Three Sons later in the day. At least AntennaTV has played some of their morning & afternoon shows in later slots on weekends.

Apparently, seems like the MeTV schedule is heavily weighed on ratings. The reason why shows like Hogan's Heroes, MASH, Andy Griffith etc.. never ever leave the primetime lineup is because of that. I found a interesting podcast interview with MeTV's vice chairman Neal Sabin that addresses the history of MeTV and the current state of their tv shows.

Even if Metv can't bother to add new shows, the least they could do is shuffle the schedule around a bit. It gets a little stale with Andy Griffith and Hogan's Heroes especially.Perhaps you can move Hogan's Heroes to 7PM. Then you can take one episode of Andy Griffith and put it on at 6:30 right after The Flintstones. The 7:30PM would be a Mash episode. Then at 8PM, Andy Griffith would follow and then at 8:30, Mash. And then finally at 10:00, Hogan's Heroes would air first and then at 10:30 Happy Days .

I’m starting to doubt that M*A*S*H, The Andy Griffith Show, Hogan’s Heroes, and other shows are still getting high ratings after being overexposed and overstaying it’s welcome for half a decade and in M*A*S*H’s case for an entire decade. Something seems suspicious about that. At this point I think it’s just laziness and not wanting to fork over the money for new shows.

I agree with you 1000 percent!

Although currently Me TV’s ratings are beating cable network TVLAND. If Me TV would move Andy Griffith Show to example 10pm and than if it doesn’t work there Me TV will be scrambling to try to find a show to replace it. If they don’t find anything they might have to put an original there or a more Modern program that might bring ratings.

I believe some people are just now getting Me TV. To them

This schedule to NEW Viewers of Me TV it will seem like a dream especially if those people have been relying on nick@niTe & TVLAND for there Classic Programming needs.

As a now long time viewer yes! Viewers are ready for the Schedule to get rearranged.


I will say I much prefer Me TV’s current schedule over Original movies and modern programming.

If MeTV’s Sunday afternoon/evening schedule was actually like this, it would be a dream come true:

03:00 PM The Lucy Show

Just picture MeTV in 2033. :barf:

lol! lol! Agreed!

lol! lol! Agreed!
In 2033 reruns of Collector’s Call, Hot In Cleveland, M*A*S*H, Hogan’s Heroes, Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, Seinfeld, That 70’s Show, The Goldbergs, Black-ish, Modern Family, Roseanne, The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, Scrubs, and “The MeTV Awards” would be airing Saturdays on MeTV.

Don't forget Hogan's Heroes.

Don't forget Hogan's Heroes.
Hogan’s Heroes would air 24/7 on Sundays off-the-clock with LOTS of that “great” credit crunch and Paid Programming would air from approximately somewhere near 5am-12pm weekdays off-the-clock with credit crunch as well.

I’m starting to doubt that M*A*S*H, The Andy Griffith Show, Hogan’s Heroes, and other shows are still getting high ratings after being overexposed and overstaying it’s welcome for half a decade and in M*A*S*H’s case for an entire decade.

But thats the thing. We know Weigel Broadcasting owns numerous shows across MeTV, H&I, Decades and StartTV. I don't think its a money issue. The Decades binge, proves that they still have the rights for many tv shows to broadcast. I really think it's a choice, that they choose not to air other tv shows. Ex: Hawaii Five-O is iconic and hasn't been on air in years!

Hawaii Five-O was on ME TV 5 years ago in the 5p.m. slot. If a show does really great ratings #'s on MeTV, it usually gets locked into that time slot for a decade, that is unless the show is owned by Sony or Universal and is shared with Cozi or Get-TV.

Actually Hawaii Five-O is a bad example, the series was on METV a couple of years back in the slot now occupied by Adam 12, it didn't do well and it was cancelled.

WKRP was mentioned in an earlier post by someone, that show was on 9:30 weeknights, it was replaced by Green Acres. Again, it didn't do well that's why it was taken off.

METV just shook up their Sunday schedule a bit, beginning 3/21/21, The Best of Ed Sullivan takes over the 9:30-10:00 slot.

2am Mannix
3am Cannon
4am Barnaby Jones

Would it hurt MeTV to change around this part of their schedule a bit. I'm a night owl and have seen these series entire episodes run through at least 5-6 times each.

2am The Streets Of San Francisco
3am Quincy, M.E.
4am The Rockford Files

The Rockford Files is available in it's entirety for free on Peacock TV. No idea which channel currently holds the rights to Quincy.

They should air gomer back to back like the MASH, TAGS and Hogan.
