I think they should of added Leave It To Beaver at 6pm & The Wonder Years (original) at 7pm.

I think they should have added some of their late night shows (i.e. Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock, etc.) for those of us who are not able to stay up that late.

Man, I can agree with that. Their airing of Time Tunnel, the Invaders, and the Fugitive at the times they do, is messing up my beauty sleep. I'd like to see MeTV pick up Route 66, as well.

What a joke MeTV is. Just more of the same.

KentB3 · 11-16-2021, 02:38 PM

Has a new schedule been posted yet?

MeTV will never be the same without the Original Columbo after This Sunday Night

I wish that Monk was leaving instead.

What a disgrace. Columbo was a mainstay on Sunday nights. They'll take out this show but continue to air MASH, Andy, Gomer, Green and Hogan to death? Hopefully these shows' contracts expires soon too. MeTV Plus continues to be the better channel.

stevea · 11-17-2021, 04:03 PM

They already discontinued MASH on Sundays, once. Why go back to it again?

Maybe on Sunday they will show the color Andys, but I doubt it.

They didn't let the contract expired, Universal demanded the show back! It also sounds like Universal throwed a hissy fit about it. METV really did not want to lose Columbo.

Universal has also been denying Svengoolie access to certain movies. They also pulled that Munster Go Home Halloween stunt a couple weeks back, by letting CoziTV
aired the movie a week before Svengoolie could show it.

Just want we all wanted, more Andy Griffith and Mash. The least they could've done was put another sitcom like Leave it to Beaver on or one of their other drama series such as Mannix

MeTV is a pretty good customer of theirs--Leave It To Beaver, Dragnet, Adam-12, Wagon Train, Alfred Hitchcock--the treatment is surprising.

Below, is the automatic email you receive if you mention Columbo.

"We noticed you mentioned Columbo in your message to us. While we will read your email shortly, we think we know what you might be asking. We are also disappointed that Columbo is leaving MeTV. Here's what's happening. We don't own Columbo. A big studio owns the show. They've decided to end our agreement and we can no longer show Columbo. It was their decision, not ours. We know that's disappointing. But, we're happy Monk has joined MeTV on Sunday nights, and now MeTV favorites The Andy Griffith Show and M*A*S*H will be on Sundays too. We sincerely thank you for being a fan of MeTV and we hope our transparency about what happened answers your questions."
