That's what I was thinking. Along with COZI and The Munsters. If MeTV wanted it when the time came for The Munsters to expire, MeTV would likely be the one to get it from COZI. Decades could also benefit from adding shows like Three's Company (and dare I say, Johnny Carson?)

Cozi and METV are bitter competitors. It started with Cozi taking Columbo away from METV and leaving them with a void on Sunday nights. Cozi also tries to compete with METV on Saturday nights with Columbo and Universal monster movie events.

There's really no need to steal from other channels when there is so much available programs. Just to name a few that could work on MeTV include:

Mr. Ed
Nanny and the Professor
Gidget
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
Room 222
The White Shadow
F Troop
The Courtship of Eddie's Father
The Doris Day Show
The Mother’s In-Law
The Green Hornet
Any Hanna-Barbera cartoons
Any Filmation cartoon or Saturday morning live action (i.e. Shazam and Isis)
Any Sid and Marty Kroft show

I've just scratched the surface with this list. Add some 1950's and 1970's Show to the mix.

Knight Rider is no longer airing on Charge!, a perfect show for MeTV to scoop up. Iconic 80s legend and if they have the money they can get the Hauff to show up and do a promo for the channel. I miss the MeTV commercials when the cast return to film a promo. Those were awesome.

Good list. Though some of those are in dire need of remastering.

Add The Wonderful World of Disney, Mickey Mouse Club, Zorro, and The Mouse Factory -- and Pee Wee's Playhouse -- and the Jay Ward cartoons

Although I love Pee Wee's Playhouse I wonder if it's too new. Yet if it's added then go the other extreme and add Captain Kangaroo.

Lassie would be a good show for Saturday morning, after toons. Cozi isn't going to do anything with it anymore.

There would certainly be enough episodes to run a long time. Add Rin Tin Tin, Flipper, and Gentle Ben while your at it. Perhaps Saturday morning starts with Captain Kangaroo then all the various Hanna Barbera animal cartoons followed by the life action animal dramas and ending with Mr. Ed leading into a comedy afternoon. Pee Wee's Playhouse can run after Sventoonie at night before the super hero and science fiction shows.

Oh how I want to win the Mega Millions jackpot. I'd buy me a TV station or streaming service.
