I see that Adam 12 has replaced The Flintstones at 6:30am. I wonder if they're dropping most if not all cartoons on their schedule.

Good to see I Love Lucy back on METV. Any programming news for Halloween and Christmas?

BigManMike · 07-30-2024, 04:54 PM

Good shows in the morning but not the best time. Would have been better at night. Still the same lame weekday lineup.

Looks like all the cartoons are being phased out of the channel besides Toon in with ME and the Saturday Morning Cartoons block which still does great ratings for the channel.

I like the return of Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley. Interesting to move the Brady Bunch up to 10am while it was at the 12 noon timeslot forever on Sundays.

Still not enough. We need schedule changes during Mon - Fri .

Some very interesting changes to September.

I was hoping they would do a Bob Newhart hour. With The Bob Newhart Show & than Newhart. I know Catchy Comedy does this but it would have been great to see this also on Me TV! Hopefully it will be apart of A Very Merry Me TV.

Speaking of A Very Merry Me TV Looking forward on seeing the times & dates of my Favorite Christmas episodes. As i haven’t caught a Christmas episode since Christmas of 2023.

The Bob Newhart Show has been on MeTV before (I remember they had some weird setup where they didn't show season six for quite awhile), but never Newhart. Newhart might do well.

I think the main problem with shows like Newhart and Cheers, was both shows underwent some important casting changes between the first few seasons that ended up being an improvement. The show is better starting with the 3rd season, after they already replaced Kirk/ Leslie for Michael / Stephanie and made Larry Darryl & Darryl regulars.

Those were excellent--and needed--casting changes . Also, Newhart's idea to change from videotape to film was a great idea.

Especially since it meant that his episodes can be in HD.

one of the few reasons I watch MetV is "The Flintstones". Some other channel must have bought the rights.

MeTv Toons has to be a bust. I can rarely get it and when I do, it constant Bugs Bunny.

MeTv is a mess. That guy running the cartoons in the morning is trying to transition into a talk-show. I feel for him because I cannot imagine coming up with an hour show every morning.

MeTV and MeTV Toons are both owned by Weigel. Weigel also owns MeTV+, Catchy, Start TV, H&I, Dabl, and Story TV, so theoretically they could air the Flintstones on any of those stations if they wanted, though obviously they wouldn’t because it doesn’t fit the format of most of those.They dropped it from the main MeTV because now that they have MeTV Toons they can show it there where it’s a better fit.

At least MeTV’s upcoming Autumn schedule was better 10 years ago, 8 years ago, 5 years ago and last year respectively before MeTV Toons debuted back in June.
