METV Ran Through The Flintstones Episodes Really Fast - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

They are already back to the first season. People have said they didn't air a lot of episodes. I'm wondering if this is going to be short-lived with them airing 2 a day and 4 on Sunday.

I watched them all. It was fun, but not interested in repeats. Especially when it repeats so quickly.

I wonder why all of the episodes aren't being shown.

I wonder as well. It seems the shows that do well in syndication are ones that have a ton of episodes. MeTV ran through the Flintstones fast. Not sure how long it will last once the novelty runs out and they keep repeating episodes.

I won't be surprised if The Flintstones doesn't last long on there.

Agree.

The reason why METV ran through The Flintstones really fast is because that's all the episodes of The Flintstones METV currently has at the moment. But don't expect METV to get rid of The Flintstones on their lineup anytime because it's a big winner for METV. Maybe they'll air some of the holiday episodes or maybe air The Flintstones movie where Pebbles is grown up and gets married but I'm glad The Flintstones has a home on METV where anyone can watch it

So METV didn't acquire the full run?

That stinks.

MeTV doesn't release their ratings so It is impossible to know if it's a hit or not. I do think with the limited amount of episodes it might not do well over time and they'll eventually cut back to one episode a day, possibly in another timeslot.

Hi, Bestie! I agree with you. METV will keep the Flintstones for quite a while! Als I see they are bringing in Dragnet! WOW! It just keeps getting better!

I hope so. I am really loving watching the 2 episodes each night. I am new to the Flintstones as I just turned 15 earlier this much and I am already thinking this is the best freaking cartoon that I have ever seen in my life. I would like this to stick around for awhile.

During season 5 they skipped several episodes. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing because many times the scheduled episode wasn't played, and an earlier episode was substituted.

I have also seen duplicate episodes already. Like the one where Fred and Barney quit they jobs and buy the Burger place and the young girl waitresses do that singing and dancing thing.

Now I think you are all wrong about MeTV not having the whole series. The reason I know this is that I recorded ALMOST (now the only reason I say almost is) cause I didn't want every single episode.

I wanted to make a Best of DVD set with just several in each seasons they showed. Now I do know for a fact that EVERY single episode was shown. All 6 Seasons.

Would y'all like to see my list of episode that I recorded to a disc? Cause I know I could of had every single episode and not just a few.

But I promise you when it first ran it showed EVERY SINGLE EPISODE from all 6 seasons.

Now they could easily just be picking certain episodes to be shown "NOW" but I would expect they show the whole series.

Another thing I had to wait sometimes for a the whole series to repeat when I got down tot he last few seasons to get said episodes. I'm 100% sure MeTV showed the entirety of the show.
