Catchy Comedy's New Q1 2026 Schedule - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Marcus2026 · 02-13-2026, 03:45 PM

As announced before, Catchy will be changing its schedule starting this Saturday, but mainly the weekend schedule.
First, replacing Happy Days and I Love Lucy on the Saturday schedule will be Gomer Pyle, making his Catchy debut and The Beverly Hillbillies, expanding their airings on the show, while still airing weeknights at 5pm ET. They will air Saturdays from 5pm-7pm ET and 7pm-9pm ET, respectively. HD and ILL will remain airing on the weekday schedule at 2pm ET and 12pm ET, respectively. Plus, Sledge Hammer! makes its return to Catchy since the short-lived block Catchy's Not-So Smart Sitcoms, airing at 4am ET, moving The Best of Groucho to 5am ET, removing Car 54, Where Are You? from the lineup completely.
Also, Catchy will be airing a new Sunday schedule replacing The Catchy Binge (previously The Decades Binge) after 11 years, and it's mostly female dominant with these shows, including a special someone that'll have their own weekly block presented by her daughter. First, at 6am ET will be The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, followed by 2 hours of The Donna Reed Show from 7am-9am ET while still airing weekdays at 9:30am ET, and after that, it's 2 hours of That Girl from 9am-11am ET while still airing Monday-Thursday at 5:30am ET. Then, making her return to Catchy since May of last year will be The Mary Tyler Moore Show spinoff Rhoda, airing for 2 hours from 11am-1pm ET, followed by 2 hours of its aforementioned parent show from 1pm-3pm ET whilst still airing weekdays at 1:30pm ET, then its 2 hours of Laverne & Shirley from 3pm-5pm ET while still airing weekdays at 2:30pm ET and finally, 2 hours of Mama's Family from 5pm-7pm ET whilst still airing weeknights at 6pm ET.
Then, from 7pm-11:30pm ET, Catchy Comedy will introduce the new Catchy Loves Lucy block presented by her daughter Lucie Arnaz, bringing you select episodes of Lucille Ball's iconic sitcoms, including I Love Lucy, The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy, and the notoriously infamous Life with Lucy, alongside occasional specials highlighting Ball's legacy.
After that, at 11:30pm ET will be a 90-minute episode of The Love Boat, followed by a regular episode at 1am ET, then it's 2 hours of Love, American Style from 2am-4am ET, and finishing off the night is 2 hours of Mayberry R.F.D., airing from 4am-6am ET.

Bye, bye Binges. Yet streaming and DVDs allows for us to create our own Binges. Nice to see The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet getting a spot on the schedule. Plus getting to see Life with Lucy will be interesting. I wonder how much Lucie Arnez will be featured as host for the "Catchy Loves Lucy". There's still way too much Full House on the schedule. It's kind of looking like MASH and Hogan's Heroes are for MeTV.

That was a wall of text.

I'd lose "female dominant".

I have no idea why they are running Rhoda - but where is the money coming from That is where they schedule is. It is all about money and what show brings in the money and the endless John Walsh commercials.

"female dominant"

If you can't see that in the schedule, you need thicker glasses

Getting rid of the binges was a terrible mistake. That was the best part of this network.

Binges are Terrible.

What if don't like the show that is being "Binged"

I didn't expect the weekend binges to stay, ever since the rebrand from Decades to a sitcoms only channel. Weigel probably thought they had enough of it and there weren't enough sitcoms to binge marathons with. I'd still say MeTV Plus can be the new channel for weekend binges. Since its already a dumping ground for any show that doesn't do well on these other Weigel channels.

Of course, we all judge for ourselves, but I've seen some "Life with Lucy" and it's pretty bad.
