I'm not impressed with ME-TV. I just started receiving it and they don't even show the opening credits to their shows!

I sat down to watch My Three Sons today and it just jumped in to a middle of a scene.

Sounds like something on your affiliate's end. They may be working the kinks out.

Never thought of that, I hope that's the case! Actually, I noticed some of the shows they have the opening, and some don't; sometimes they show the closing credits, sometimes not, and sometimes neither. And who knows what's cut out in between!

I have recorded every My Three Son's Episode in the last 2 months and they had the opening credits on everyone so it was definitely a glitch.

I'am recording quite a few of the other shows as well and havent nocticed any missing the opening or closing credits either.

I'm surprised that My Three Sons would have started in the middle of a scene. Most episodes of the Fedderson shows (M3S and Family Affair) opened with an exterior shot of a home/building, so that's an easy way to tell if the very beginning was cut (which would be rare).

Occasionally I've noticed some missing credits for the one-hour, color Gunsmoke episodes (there were originally 2 sets of closing credits per ep). And I believe once in a while, at the start of Bonanza, if there were featured guest stars their little spots may have been cut.

Well, like I said above, they just made MeTV available to my area, so I hope it is just a matter of it being the affiliate. If it doesn't change, I'll complain to my subscriber.
