does anyone else here wish they'd show dramas as well as sitcoms? I do; and two good ones would be "COMBAT" & "THE FUGITIVE".

....the bulk of their programming comes from either D.L. Taffner {"THREE'S COMPANY", "TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT", "THE BEST OF BENNY HILL", et.al.} or Sony/Columbia Pictures Television's library, 'treky'. "COMBAT" and "THE FUGITIVE" are from the CBS/Paramount library...and there are no plans to carry any of their programs in the near future.

There will be another drama series on their schedule soon- in addition to "HERE COME THE BRIDES", "THE IRON HORSE" (1966-'68), another Screen Gems western, is to be added this summer.

I know it's a different network, but MeTV shows some westerns and may have some more they are not showing. Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Big Valley, Rawhide, Marshal Dillon, Branded, Wild Wild West, etc. They have CBS/Paramount's vast library. You might get them or be getting them soon, treky.

There are alot of classic dramas that need to be seen again. They could take a couple hours off their movies and show some old dramas. Those two shows would be great.

I prefer the format they have now- they do show a few drama's on the weekend and sometimes drama themed movies- It's rare for a network to be mostly all sitcoms and Antenna TV fits the bill for me
