Beginning in October as part of MeTV's Halloween BOO-Nanza, MeTV acquires the rights to air the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, not being seen in over-the-air television for nearly 30 years.

Success with Wizard of Oz could lead to ME running more movies

Wow. That's excellent! They should try to get other classic TV perennials like Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (65), the Peanuts specials and (Walt era) Disney movies/cartoons/shows.

I'm surprised that the big three networks haven't gone after The Wizard of Oz again since they still do so well with Sound of Music, Ten Commandments and It's a Wonderful Life.

MeTV is becoming the 4th Network. This was a big investment for them.

And when MeTv got Raymond. That was a statement. Raymond don't come cheap.

The article stated that the Wizard of Oz will get multiple airings throughout October. Its a huge investment for the channel. Probably a test run for MeTV airing popular Hollywood movies. Maybe they can get It's a Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th St for Christmas.

Space1999,

You’re probably right. It’s a hidden secret but every Me TV Fan truly knows they want the Charlie Brown Halloween & Charlie Brown Thanksgiving & definitely Charlie Brown Christmas.

I agree about A Christmas Carol & Miracle On 34th Street & It’s A Wonderful Life & White Christmas as well and Considering the Success of Me TV airing A Very Brady Christmas annually.

I’m happy that Me TV will air The Wizard Of Oz in October because by November/December I’m usually watching a Christmas Episode/Movie.


The one thing I would like Me TV start doing is airing Classic TV Family Sitcoms. As Classic TV Channels all air Classic TV Family Sitcoms in the Mornings. As I would like to see them come to Me TV’s Primetime & LateNight and overnights just like the early years of NICKELODEON’s NICK at NITE schedule. They airred Dennis the Menace & The Donna Reed Show & My Three Sons & The Danny Thomas Show & The Patty Duke Show & The Brady Bunch & Leave It To Beaver and the NICK at NITE Movie. It would follow the huge Success from The Andy Griffith Show & reguarding Movies the Success of Svengoolie.
