How come Me TV no longer highlights its Schedule Changes? Memorial Day use to mean The Summer Of Me TV & Labor Day meant the Fall Schedule Starts & End of October|November meant Holiday Schedule Highlights & March meant Spring Changes.I wonder why they don’t highlight these events anymore.

As I recall, the schedule changes for last year's "Summer of Me" were minimal. They used to be quite extensive. In fact, their schedule changes in general have been minimal the last few years.

Yeah I was disappointed to see no schedule changes starting from May 31st onward on the MeTV schedule this year. Which means either the Summer of Me is delayed later this summer or there will be no changes. They usually advertise around this time of the year.

1. They want to go a different route or it’s getting too extravagant
2. Ratings are doing excellent, so they’re scared to make any major official changes

The last good Summer Of Me was in 2017 when they had the afternoon weekday sitcoms and returned My Three Sons and had a Mary Tyler Moore/Rhoda Sunday block.

I think everyone is probably correct.

Perhaps the Summer of Me will start later this year.

With ratings being good it’s hard to pull something than try to Return it on Labor Day.

With Spin-off Network’s Decades & Me TV plus it might be tougher to revamp its Schedule.

Also without Dawn Wells who has been the Summer of Me TV host for a couple years perhaps they couldn’t find a replacement.

Didn't Barry Williams/ Greg Brady host " Summer of me" a while back? Or am I imagining things? :crazy:

Yes, it is stale. It sure would be nice to get a little break from the shows that have been on for years and years such as M.A.S.H. and Andy Griffith. I love AG, but those episodes have aired so many times I have all the lines memorized.

As for ratings, I don't think they are as meaningful during the summer months when people are not watching as much TV.

They are also doing less promos or promotions than they used to.

They’re promos are getting less and less creative. It seems that all I see is promos for their cartoons.

Yep Summer of Me 2017 was the last big schedule change MeTV. Still remember the Leave it to Beaver and Brady Brunch on late afternoons.

They could just re-use Barry Williams' commercials.

Yeah I miss the cheeky fun promos featuring returning stars. The Happy Days one from last year with Donny Most was great.

The last overhaul was in Fall 2017 with Hawaii Five-O, T.J. Hooker, Touched By An Angel, The Facts Of Life, The Lucy Show, etc. Winter 2018 and onward were just simply disappointing.

Agreed! I remember on Sunday’s they had a block of Lucy. It was called something like Lucy Loves Me Sunday’s.

They need to come by and pick up this show from last year's METV Summer camp and toss it. Also like to see Lost In Space get kick to the curb, since they no longer care enough to even play the stupid show from the beginning.

Yes. I just caught the tail end of Adam-12. The announcer said coming up on the Summer of Me, The Addams Family, Happy Days and than MASH and that’s on the way on Me T V! The TV boxes showed The Addams Family & Bugs Bunny & MASH & The Andy Griffith Show & Gomer Pyle USMC & Green Acres & Hogans Heroes. Another promo showed Fonzie Water Skiiing (Happy Days) & Greg Brady surfing (The Brady Bunch).

MeTV still has The Summer Of Me. I don't watch the channel often although I like their current late night/overnight schedule with Perry Mason, Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock, Mannix, Cannon, Barnaby Jones, pretty good stuff.

They haven’t made any changes since May 3rd and there were only three changes in total. I’m not surprised if this schedule serves as The Summer Of Me. MeTV used to be my favorite retro channel, but as time passes, that means less and less schedule changes, which in return means a slow decline of the network.

I wish they would continue the seasonal schedule changes that they use to do. But it seems like MeTV just drops new shows whenever, as evident by this year. It's a concern and it looks like the execs. are happy with the shows they currently air and refuse to put other shows on.
