The Golden Girls will air WeekNights at 10:00pm & 10:30pm.
(Replacing 2 episodes of Hogans Heroes)

The Golden Girls will also air Sundays at 6:00pm & Sundays 8:00pm-10:00pm.
(Replacing an episode of The Andy Griffith Show & 4x’s of All In The Family)


Other Changes Sundays

11:00pm-12:00AM All In The Family (Replacing 2x’s The Dick Van Dyke Show)

12:00AM-1:00AM Hogans Heroes (Replacing The Honeymooners & Twilight Zone)

1:00AM-2:00AM The Honeymooners (Replacing Alfred Hitchcock)

This will mean The Dick Van Dyke Show will be off of Me TV. However it will still be Airred on Catchy Comedy.


The Rest of the Schedule will remain intact for now.

Off Subject I would love to see Leave It To Beaver & The Three Stooges added to Catchy Comedy.


I have a feeling Perry Mason at 11:30pm & 12:00AM might be next? Seinfeld or Bewitched would fit perfectly. Time will tell.

However I hope Me TV will also add & bring in Sitcoms from the 50’s & 60’s. Even install a block of Family Sitcoms from that era perhaps after Svengoolie Movie on Saturday Nights from 10:30pm-6:00AM (Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet and The Donna Reed Show and Leave It To Beaver and The Patty Duke Show and My Three Sons and Dennis the Menace and Bewitched and The Real Mcoys and The Danny Thomas Show and The Addams Family and The Munsters and others! Hosted by Sven and Sven Squad.

would of been better to have the Honeymooners after All in The Family

Thank goodness Hogan’s Heroes has finally been dethroned from that spot that it dominated for so many years. Also glad to see the Golden Girls finally show up on a free over the air network. I don’t know why it took so many years but better late than never. Hopefully Empty Nest will come to at some point later on.

I can’t believe they finally killed Hogan. Watch your back MASH.

I just don't get Golden Girls. I tried it fresh a couple years ago, but had to push to get through the third season. It obviously has its audience.

Hogan, of course, has been there forever. I like it, but have only watched a few episodes in recent years (e.g., Lebeau and the Little Old Lady).

How do you know what the schedule is going to be because it's not fully released how can you verify those shows are going to be on at that time. Where are you getting this information is there a schedule somewhere would like to see it.

And with this announcement it makes it even more disappointing that sister network Catchy has done away with weekend binges. I would watch a Golden Girls binge on there.

I am so disappointed that catchy comedy has done away with their binge and it would definitely watch our whole day of the Golden Girls I have a big fan of the golden girls.

I might be wrong but I would think either when it’s time for The Summer Of Me they will do Binges on Sundays or mini Binges overnight after Carol Burnett-Perry Mason.

Who Knows maybe Catchy Comedy will bring back Full Saturday/Sunday Weekend Binges in the Summer/Holiday Season. Look how long brinning the Classic CBS lineup lasted.

The Golden Girls will air WeekNights at 10:00pm & 10:30pm.
(Replacing 2 episodes of Hogans Heroes)

The Golden Girls will also air Sundays at 6:00pm & Sundays 8:00pm-10:00pm.

I can definitely see Mason moving to midnight with the Twilight Zone moving to 1:05 replacing one of the Hitchcock episodes. With respect to Bewitched, you must be kidding. We're on the TV Land expressway now, the shows from the 60's and 50's are finished as far as METV is concerned. Seinfeld is a possibility for 11pm-midnight replacing Carol Burnett. The show that really sticks out like a sore thumb is TAGS, I can see them looking to replace that in the next year. The METV strategy is pretty straight forward, the network is looking to get the age of their average viewer down so anything prior to 1970 wouldn't interest the network. The job is to find shows from let's say about 1980 and beyond that have been successful in syndication. Anyone who remembers the oldie stations that were once all over the radio dial, or remembers the original Nick at Nite or TV Land knows exactly what this is.

I don’t know it looks like that right now. I think the Schedule needed a CHANGE. I don’t think atleast right now they will fully deticate to just 70’s & 80’s & 90’s.

Svengoolie the number 1 show on Me TV is still airing films from 1930’s. The Wizard Of Oz is Coming in October 2026 to Me TV. The Andy Griffith Show still gives Me TV that audience & Leave It To Beaver & The Three Stooges.

Now what Me TV did was they spung everything off to its Sister Channels. Like the Shows from the 50’s & 60’s that Viewers say bring to Me TV are on Catchy Comedy. Therefore with the Sister Channels what does that give Me TV to air?

Like I said if they go ahead and add atleast “Bewitched” to their WeekNight Schedule they would have a nice assortment in Primetime

7pm MASH
8pm Andy Griffith
9pm Everybody Loves Raymond Seinfeld would of worked
10pm The Golden Girls
11pm Carol Burnett
12AM Bewitched


While Saturdays can still be Svengoolie Movie.

With the Sven & Squad Hosting black & white Family Sitcoms all Nite Saturdays kinda like how NICK at NITE made fun of them yet Respected them perhaps that’s what they can do with Saturday Nights after Svengoolie.


Sundays can be that Binge.


This way your getting a little of everything yet not fully dumping the 50’s & 60’s format either.

I can see Seinfeld, but I know at least here they would run into problems with other local station contracts.

I don’t know how much longer Antenna has on their contract for Bewitched or how hard it would be to get it away from Antenna and keep them from renewing it once it expires.

Now that Me-TV has the rights to the Golden Girls they need to get the spin-off series empty nest and Golden Palace. Golden Palace would be a great rotation with the Golden Girls they could play it all seven seasons of The Golden Girls then switch to Golden Palace then back to the Golden Girls that would be awesome if they would do that.

I don’t know how much longer Antenna has on their contract for Bewitched or how hard it would be to get it away from Antenna and keep them from renewing it once it expires.

Just a theory, but it's possible all the Screen Gems [Sony] shows were up for renewal at the start of the year. They let two expire, and renewed Partridges, Jeannie, and Bewitched. Again, just a possibility.

Now that Me-TV has the rights to the Golden Girls they need to get the spin-off series empty nest and Golden Palace. Golden Palace would be a great rotation with the Golden Girls they could play it all seven seasons of The Golden Girls then switch to Golden Palace then back to the Golden Girls that would be awesome if they would do that.

You're missing the point, METV would have no interest in Empty Nest or Golden Palace, neither of those series have proven to be successful in syndication. METV selects shows that have proven track records in syndication.

I don’t know how much longer Antenna has on their contract for Bewitched or how hard it would be to get it away from Antenna and keep them from renewing it once it expires.

METV would have zero interest in Bewitched. The network is moving on, they're not going to go out an acquire a 1960's sitcom, that's not what the network is about. Raymond was a statement show, a 30 year old in 1996 is 60,
and from this point on that will be the audience the network will look to appeal to.

I don’t know it looks like that right now. I think the Schedule needed a CHANGE. I don’t think atleast right now they will fully deticate to just 70’s & 80’s & 90’s.

This way your getting a little of everything yet not fully dumping the 50’s & 60’s format either.

I don't think the network is looking to get a little of everything. The network is looking to appeal to someone who was born no earlier than let's say 1964. That's their target, they're looking to program shows that would interest that age group. As I said, many of us have been through this type of thing before, once it starts it takes almost everything in its path. Sven may survive for now, but Rich turns 74 in a few weeks and he may be looking to cut back. I don't think there are any answers with that new group of characters that have been developed, so what happens when he leaves, I have no clue.

I guess someone has to start up a new network for that demo between early bird dinner and death.

Variety is the spice of life. Folks can enjoy Seinfeld and The Golden Girls and also enjoys Andy Griffith and Bewitched as well.

Reguarding Bewitched why can’t antenna tv & me tv both have it? Look at Sanford & Son it appears on both antenna tv & Sister network Me TV Catchy Comedy almost at identical times daily.

Like I said before if it’s trying to get away from the early years why are they brinning in The Wizard Of Oz? (1939).

I've said before that I think Bewitched would be viable. It's a long running series, which is in color (the first two seasons are colorized, the rest filmed in color). It doesn't carry an old TV vibe. Do I think it would make it to air [on MeTV]? Different question. Probably not. It might not even occur to MeTV to consider it.

Re the both networks question: I guess it would depends on how the contracts are written. It's certainly been done before, with restrictions on time-of-day. An example of that would be Everybody Loves Raymond, which was on TBS and TV Land at different times of day.

I`m out for TGG

I wouldn`t doubt CHEERS shows up

ME-TV is turning into the former NICK AT NIGHT

They won`t be getting rid of Sci-Fi Saturday Nights, forget that

I believe someone at ME-TV said no way would SEINFELD be brought on board,
I wish I`d copied where I read that

I think you're reading way too much into the METV acquisition of The Wizard of OZ broadcast rights. The movie still received broadcast airings into the 1990's so many that grew up in the 80's and 90's have a relationship with the film. And again, keep in mind it's a once a year special, not 5 nights a week programming.

It's possible METV might continue to air TAGS but definitely not prime time. The network might look to replace Beaver so I guess that's a possibility. Something like Bewitched is a nonstarter, the network doesn't air the series now, METV will be looking to use acquisition resources in a way that benefits the network's new direction.

So is Bewitched no longer in black and white? Does Fe TV show Bewitched in black and white just curious.


Got you I think I understand now with Me TV. Here is my thoughts.

It would be great if Saturday Night Live will come to Saturday Nights Replacing Svengoolie time slot. My favorite Season was with Dana Carvey & Chris Farley & Mike Myers & Chris Rock & Tim Meadows & Phil Hartman & David Spade & Adam Sandler & Rob Schneider & Kevin Nealon & Melanie Hustle & Elan Klenghorn & Victoria Jackson & Julia Sweeney as Pat! Sci Fi can start later.

Reguarding The Andy Griffith Show being Replaced would love to see the middle.

Pee-Wee’s Playhouse would make sense to air it in Leave It To Beaver time slots.

Full House Should Return and Replace The Brady Bunch

Modern Family would be an excellent show to Replace Carol Burnett Soon.

David Letterman would be great to see Replace Perry Mason at Night.

Two And Half Men Replacing The Three Stooges right out of the old West!

Real World LA Season 2 was my favorite Season. Dominic was Hilarious! Maybe this would be a great Replacement for All In The Family.

Thanks again for letting Me know what Me TV is doing. I will email them these suggestions and hopefully we can get this going soon! Thanks again! Enjoy your Weekend!!

I'm surprised that ELR is doing well in the ratings and The Golden Girls is finally replacing Hogan's Heroes. Hogan needed to go a long time ago. Perhaps some of these sitcoms' contracts are finally expiring on MeTV.

I wonder how many shows are being replaced. We have waited years to finally see the primetime weeknight lineup to change and within 5 months we have gotten so much. I think the Westerns and MASH are staying since they bring in good ratings. Maybe Andy Griffith is next to go.

Maybe Andy Griffith is next to go.

You're the second poster to say that's possible. Although I don't watch those reruns, I'm not convinced that show has run out of gas. It may still pull in the demo they're craving; if it didn't, it would already be gone. We'll see what happens.

i have been watching this network for over a decade and i will tell you one thing. i genuinely do not believe that they will ever abandon airing anything pre-70s. anybody thinking they will is genuinely delusional.

So is Bewitched no longer in black and white? Does Fe TV show Bewitched in black and white just curious.

FETV does air the first 2 seasons of Bewitched in black and white, albeit in widescreen.

They've done a lot with primetime, moving to newer (30 - 40 years old) shows.

But what else have they done?

--Tinkered quite a bit with Sundays, which is nothing new for them.

--Removed a newer hour long show in weekday mornings, and replaced it with an older show.

--No other changes in mornings, no changes in the afternoon.

My conclusion: at least right now, they're not remaking the network.

I mentioned this before and I will reiterate it, Raymond is a statement show. The network is moving on, continuing their approach of programming popular shows with lots of episodes that have done well in syndication, but will be attractive to a younger audience. Younger in this context means someone roughly around 60 as opposed to 70. This will take time, it's not easy to find shows that meet the criteria, and I'll give two examples. Cheers would fit beautifully into the 8-9pm slot or 11-midnight, problem, it has not performed well in syndication, or at least not well enough. Newhart is another example of this, a big hit show in the 80's, now, not much interest in revisiting the series. The weeknight evening hours are the priority right now and I don't think that should come as too much of a surprise.

With respect to what I think will happen next, first I think Hawaii Five-0 is just a placeholder, same as Gomer at the end of last summer, I wonder if they may have acquired the rights to Murder She Wrote for some point in the near future, it's a perfect fit for both the 11 am slot and 11pm after Golden Girls leading into Mason at midnight.

With respect to TAGS I think it's safe for 2026 what happens after that, my guess, it's dropped altogether or more likely moved to 8am-9am.

The bottom line, the changes and the direction will become increasingly evident in the coming months, for those who don't see it now, you will.

Replace Svengoolie, their most successful show? Funniest thing I`ve read so far with these predictions

They aren`t going to replace Sci-fi Saturday nights, may change the shows following Goolie but it is too popular for now

With respect to moving on, we'll see.

Re Hawaii Five-O being a placeholder, keep in mind the morning demos definitely skew older. Retirees are home, watching TV. Thus, Perry Mason probably does quite well, since it's been there for years.

I normally just watch TGG on Disney+ (with Hulu) but so glad to see it added to the lineup and better yet, so glad to see Hogan’s Heroes finally knocked off. Hopefully MASH will be next.

The only way I can watch MeTV is on the Frndly app.

I don't think METV wants to replace Rich Koz (Svengoolie) but he is about to turn 74 (March 12), he's suffered two heart attacks, so how much longer will he want to do the show, that's the question. Rich is a talent, he understands exactly what his audience wants, he has a one of kind relationship with his large fan base, I don't see that potential in the new cast of characters.

With respect to moving on, we'll see.

Re Hawaii Five-O being a placeholder, keep in mind the morning demos definitely skew older. Retirees are home, watching TV. Thus, Perry Mason probably does quite well, since it's been there for years.

I don't think Hawaii Five-0 is a late morning show. It's a good show don't get me wrong, but it's a little too overbearing for that time of day. I'd be surprised if it were still in that spot six months from now.

I can definitely see Mason moving to midnight with the Twilight Zone moving to 1:05 replacing one of the Hitchcock episodes. With respect to Bewitched, you must be kidding. We're on the TV Land expressway now, the shows from the 60's and 50's are finished as far as METV is concerned. Seinfeld is a possibility for 11pm-midnight replacing Carol Burnett.

I agree with much of what you say but Bewitched is done. When shows go to Antenna TV they are cheap and over.

I wish they would pick up "Early Edition" and run it in the mornings.

They need to find something to replace Carol Burnett. Seinfeld is too expensive and Fox owns the rights.

And once Svengoolie retires, that is going to be hard shoes to fill. The 3 they have aren't cutting it. MeTV relies on Svengoolie to keep relevant.

Also, Seinfeld is one of two shows from the 90s (the other being Friends) that is still shown in local syndication. If any digital substation were to acquire it now, it may have to be blacked out in MANY markets so much it may be a waste of money. Remember Griffith is blacked out in markets where that show is still shown on local syndication.

The article I read said absolutely no FRIENDS or SEINFELD will be on ME-TV, only wish I could find it now.

The article I read said absolutely no FRIENDS or SEINFELD will be on ME-TV, only wish I could find it now.

I know Sabin was quoted as saying Friends would not be coming to METV, I haven't read any comments related to Seinfeld. Let's be clear, it's not that he doesn't want these shows, it's a case of them not being available. Big difference. METV is about shows that were very popular, have done well in syndication, and have produced around 150 or more episodes. Murder She Wrote might be a possibility, it would fit beautifully behind The Golden Girls with Mason moving to midnight. It might also be used for two showings (like Mason) with the other running at 11am.

I know ME does well, but do they have Friends, Seinfeld money?

Getting those 2 back on national broadcast TV would be big.

Also Seinfeld and Friends ended their runs OVER 20 years ago. As I said in another thread, when Nick at Nite launched in 1985, some of their retro shows ended less than 20 years prior. Heck when TV Land launched in 1996, one of their shows was Hill Street Blues which ended its run EIGHT years prior.

Will Andy Griffith & Leave It To Beaver go to Catchy Comedy?

Wouldn't be too surprising if they eventually did, especially with Andy Griffith's case as Catchy did a weekend binge of it not too long ago.

Will Andy Griffith & Leave It To Beaver go to Catchy Comedy?

I think TAGS will remain on METV through 2026. I think there's a chance of it showing up in another daypart, 8am-9am would be the most logical. I can't see anything like that happening until the 4th quarter of the year at the earliest. Beaver on Catchy Comedy is a definite possibility.

i think yeah. TAGS well be still on through 2026. i think if they get rid of it. they had to move to catchy. so. i dont think that TAGS well be gone from the lineup because of high ratings

It's nice to see something else in the 10pm slot.

This could be deja vu, like when TV Land launched. I'm not sure how many places Catchy is available, but it's not here, for instance.

So just as Nick at Nite wanted to update itself in the late 1990s, and they successfully launched TV Land, MeTV could be doing much the same thing. Catchy exists, but it needs a boost. So it could become the next tier down; Beaver, possibly Bewitched, etc. end up there; some possibly low-rated b/w stuff like Donna Reed disappear. MeTV looks at the way it happened for Nick, and says, we'll do it right. We won't end up with networks on autopilot like Nick and TV Land are now, biding their time until failure.

For starters, they could try to get Catchy on a national feed like MeTV is.

I sure wish Me or Catchy would get The Cosby Show.

I sure wish Me or Catchy would get The Cosby Show.

Like it or not, that show is damaged goods now. I know it airs on TV One (cable) and TheGrio (OTA/digital), but most networks don’t want to touch it with a ten-foot pole.

Yeah, I coined it the TV Land expressway, Raymond is the show that reimages the network. Golden Girls is a perfect show for the transition, done in the 80's with legacy talents that the baby boomer generation is comfortable with. METV average viewer age is around 70, the network wants the average age to be closer to 60. When Nick at Nite began in 1985 the midway point of the baby boomer generation born in 1955 was 30. By 2000 that individual was 45, the network wanted that number closer 30 than 50. Same thing here, in 2015 that individual was now 60 that was the METV audience, in 2025 that individual was 70, they want that average age closer to 60.

One of the problems Catchy has is the fact that cable systems are reluctant to add any more stations to the basic cable line-up. This is their least profitable tier, the customer that continues on that tier is more interested in good reception of over the air stations at a reasonable price point than a large channel selection. In the early days of diginets they were regularly added, now that's no longer the case.

Like it or not, that show is damaged goods now. I know it airs on TV One (cable) and TheGrio (OTA/digital), but most networks don’t want to touch it with a ten-foot pole.

The Cosby Show is complicated and that was before the all the scandals. The show underperformed in syndication. It had a great run in the 80's that's for sure, it was the ultimate feel good show, not only of that era but maybe of all time. Looking at it today, it really wasn't that funny, it was kind of full of itself, and to be honest could be a bit on the boring side. The next issue is not just a Cosby Show issue but spills over to all family shows, the audience watching METV is 60 and beyond, there is very limited interest in watching a show focused children and teenagers. So if things had been different, maybe the show runs on Antenna TV from time to time, maybe once a week on Sunday mornings on METV, but not a big player.

Cosby when it was added to N@N, it (for the time) gave the network its best ratings ever. Also, I think it was still shown in local syndication in NYC in 2014. I know when I moved to Southwest Florida in 2006, that show was shown on one of my local stations.

That might have been for a short period of time, but overall it did not perform well in most markets. At time it went into syndication it was the highest cost per episode buy in history, the performance metrics did not justify the cost.

My guess is Hot In Cleveland will be shared by Catchy Comedy and Me TV and it will probably air at 11pm WeekNights on Me TV being apart of the Summer of Me.

Oh interesting.

I think HAWAII FIVE-O will stick around on MeTV for a while. It is coming off a successful nearly 4-year Day Shift run on sister network H&I, and has been on MeTV Plus since it launched, including prime time where it currently airs. It’s had a very successful long life in syndication through the 80s and 90s, had a big remastered relaunch on cable’s The Family Channel in 1997, and has sold well on DVD. I could see them moving it to late night at some point, but I expect it will stick around at 11am EST for a year or two, given that it replaced an older skewing crime drama as well. It aired around 2017 in a problematic time slot previously, lasting about 10 months.

I just wish they would acquire the remaining 74 remastered episodes. They did something similar with Mannix and Cannon, who had missing episodes in their syndication packages that were added back in when MeTV picked the shows up.

Yeah, I coined it the TV Land expressway, Raymond is the show that reimages the network. Golden Girls is a perfect show for the transition, done in the 80's with legacy talents that the baby boomer generation is comfortable with. METV average viewer age is around 70, the network wants the average age to be closer to 60. When Nick at Nite began in 1985 the midway point of the baby boomer generation born in 1955 was 30. By 2000 that individual was 45, the network wanted that number closer 30 than 50. Same thing here, in 2015 that individual was now 60 that was the METV audience, in 2025 that individual was 70, they want that average age closer to 60.

Somehow, MeTV got Comcast to add MeTV Toons; they need to do the same for Catchy.

Yes, that was then, this is now. Like Dream Canteen said, the Cosby Show is now damaged goods.

I'd like to run that Seinfeld idea up the flagpole again. I know someone had a MeTV quote that it would never happen. It's probably an old quote.

I know I made a comment about local syndication, and, yes, that could be a problem. It definitely would be here, but contracts expire sooner or later.

Wasn`t it last year there was just one show change for the Summer of ME?

Dream on, dream on

Somehow, MeTV got Comcast to add MeTV Toons; they need to do the same for Catchy.

Does MeTv toons have a National feed?

I wish they had one for Catchy (especially when they had the Dick Cavett Show and showed him interviewing Art Carney and one where he interviewed Jackie Gleason ) because that would mean I wouldn’t have to spend money on watching Catchy on the Friendly TV service to watch and record those shows and watch and record the other rare shows.

We got another all Westerns channel called INSP
Also have H&I, FETV, COZI & GRIT & GREAT

Yeah I think so too. Five-O is a great show and deserves to be airing on MeTV main for a long time. At least as long as In The Heat of the Night did. I think the reason why the syndication package is missing the 74 episodes is because Paramount doesn't offer it to networks. I'm sure MeTV would like to air all episodes if they were available.

Somehow, MeTV got Comcast to add MeTV Toons; they need to do the same for Catchy.

I work at home and run Catchy in the background. Not a fan of Toons but it has it's fans, The only thing I watch on MeTV is Raymond and Svengoolie (and I think he is going to retire).

I've said it before, when Svengoolie retires MeTv TV is going to have a problem. They are making money on Him and they don't want to be the next Antenna TV (as I call it Commercial TV).

If I was MeTV, I'd run Early Edition in the Morning.

And 2 Hours of MASH is Too Much Mash.

They are deteriorating as a network.

MASH is getting high ratings on the network. https://thedesk.net/2025/12/weigel-metv-highly-rated-memorable-shows/

Evening Edition? Come on, that`ll never happen

The wife & I burned out on MASH, we never watch it now

ME-TV should dump the CAROL BURNETT clip show & put on the full hours
The entire run is available, just show one hour per day M-F
Same with LAUGH-IN, one hour M-F

I`d rather see CHEERS than SEINFELD, FRIENDS is out & I think SEINFELD
falls into the same type of adult comedy, as would TWO AND A HALF MEN,
doubt ME-TV would schedule those unless there is a
shake-up in current management

A couple of points, H&I has a fraction of the audience METV has so I wouldn't read to much into the programming strategies of that network as it relates to METV. That said I could see it replacing Hitchcock or maybe one of the detective series overnight.

The only place Early Edition would fit would be as a late night add on Saturday nights as part of their specialty programming, but the network wouldn't run it there unless they could get it at a dirt cheap price. The show hasn't had much success in syndication.

I think METV will pull Carol Burnett, it looked like the network was going to do just that last summer, but Twilight Zone didn't perform well enough in the 11pm timeslot. The full hour version of the Burnett show wouldn't work, the variety show era is over. Laugh-In has been tried in the half hour format, the audience thins quickly, it's too topical.

Cheers would be the perfect show for METV except it hasn't performed well or at least not well enough in syndication. I'm not sure what the problem with the series is, I have a few theories but that's a different discussion.

Mission: Impossible might go away for The Alfred Hitchcock Hour.

Yes, that was then, this is now. Like Dream Canteen said, the Cosby Show is now damaged goods.

The references I've seen are related to King of Queens and Friends, I'd like to see the Seinfeld reference. If for example it were programmed in the 8pm timeslot it might not be competing against itself.

This is all I've seen --

The article I read said absolutely no FRIENDS or SEINFELD will be on ME-TV, only wish I could find it now.

I saw another post which said Seinfeld is owned by Fox (I think it's still syndicated by Sony [??]) and that it's too expensive. (MASH isn't expensive?)

Anyway, I could see it at 8 pm. at some point in the future.

They already have Cheers on their sister network Catchy. Occasionally they will show it on Me as well.

King of Queens is already on rival Cozi so they wouldn’t be able to show it anyway.

Cheers is a perfect show for METV and the new direction they are headed in. It checks all the boxes with one exception, it has underperformed in syndication. I don't know what it is, I have a few theories. Last summer instead of moving the Twilight Zone to 11pm they should have scheduled Cheers to see if maybe the show might gain traction. I think the network should consider it for this summer with Raymond and Golden Girls as lead-ins the show might perform better.

I believe Cheers currently airs on Catchy Comedy Mon-Fri 11pm EST. thru 12AM EST. & Saturdays 11pm EST thru 1:00AM EST. Sundays.

If anything Hot in Cleveland will air after The Golden Girls on Me TV at 11:00pm EST. Most likely part of The 2026 Summer Of Me. Especially with the name Hot In Cleveland.

I don't think so. That's not a METV type of show.

I hope your right, however never thought Raymond & The Golden Girls were Me TV type of shows either.

Cheers was on MeTV's schedule back when they launched in December 2010.

It was on their schedule for about 5 years.

One time slot that it was in is the one now occupied by Carol Burnett & Friends.

Now that Me-TV has the rights to the Golden Girls they need to get the spin-off series empty nest and Golden Palace. Golden Palace would be a great rotation with the Golden Girls they could play it all seven seasons of The Golden Girls then switch to Golden Palace then back to the Golden Girls that would be awesome if they would do that.

I'd also like to see Nurses which was a spin off from Golden Girls. All of those spinoffs could run on Catchy Comedy

FETV does air the first 2 seasons of Bewitched in black and white, albeit in widescreen.

I think all seasons are shown in widescreen. The distributor really screwed that up.

I think all seasons are shown in widescreen. The distributor really screwed that up.

4:3 shows definitely should not be converted to widescreen. They made the same mistake with Seinfeld at some point, probably also a Sony error.

Or dump MATLOCK & put on DALLAS

Beginning March 30, one episode of MASH will be dropped M-F at 6 PM & replaced with... wait for it... HOGAN`S HEROES!

And maybe DICK VAN DYKE could return Midnight Sundays, it`ll be verified by tomorrow

The Reddit post included an email from MeTV to fans, which Included the Dick Van Dyke news, along with Hogan. As you said, we can verrify it tomorrow.

It is officially confirmed!
Dick Van Dyke will return to the Sunday schedule, airing at 12am ET starting April 5th.

I`m guessing MASH isn`t getting the ratings it used to at 4-episodes daily M-F
& viewers complained about the removal of VAN DYKE & still had to air HOGAN`S
due to contract

MASH is getting ratings with 4 episodes.

Though ME-TV only changed one show for the Summer of ME last year, I believe this current schedule will get a shake-up this year
I`m surprised anyone stays up late night to watch old VAN DYKE episodes

MASH is getting ratings with 4 episodes.

That being the case, I don't know what their thinking is.

MASH is getting ratings with 4 episodes.

How do you know that?

The swiftness of the change is startling. Hogan was off the weekday schedule for less than 4 days before it was reinstated. The logical move would have been to pull Carol Burnett and place the single episode in an adjoining timeslot to the old schedule. Why interfere with MASH if it's doing well in the 6-7pm timeslot. METV has been struggling with the 6-7pm timeslot for years, if the network finally found something that works why change it?

C`mon, every series would have to fall under a rights contract. HOGAN`S HEROES must still have time on that contract so ME-TV will have to run it or lose $ spent. VAN DYKE SHOW contract must have run out but viewer complaints may have had ME-TV quickly pick it back up under another contract

As for MASH, the 6 PM timeslot may have the weakest ratings of the 2-hours so swapping in HOGAN`S would fulfill the contract

. VAN DYKE SHOW contract must have run out but viewer complaints may have had ME-TV quickly pick it back up under another contract


They've been showing Dick van Dyke on Catchy Comedy, also a Weigel channel, twice every weeknight at 10 ET ever since they switched to the Catchy format. They recently added a third episode in the afternoon.

Said it before, say it again - if it makes money MeTV will run it. Raymond was a big gamble - it didn't come cheap. It makes money - they would have dumped it in a second if it didn't bring in the dollars. They paid a lot to run that show, and it makes a lot of money.

They just don't know what to run behind it. I don't think the Golden Girls is a fit.

When Svengoolie retires, and it seems more and more probable - they are going to have an issue. Sven Squad won't ever bring the ratings Svengoolie does.

MeTV lives and dies with Raymond and Svengoolie.

MeTV probably negotiated running Svengoolie interstitials after he retires.

TAGS must be a cash cow anyway since they pay for 3 unaired seasons--unless they were somehow able to negotiate a special arrangement with Paramount.

Peacock only has the first five (black-and-white) seasons of Griffith; Paramount+ has all eight. I wonder if Paramount offers two syndication packages.

There are two packages for TAGS
The B&W & the color episodes without Barney
