Me-TV Summer 2012 Lineup includes Green Acres and The Mothers-in-Laws!!!

[Ronny G]

Me-TV has begun airing its summer promotion commercials and they are showing clips of Green Acres and The Mothers-in-Laws!!!

[Jude The Obscure]

I seen that--makes me wonder what schedule changes will be made. I'm sure GA will get a daily slot, most likely replacing Petticoat Junction. MIL will most likely air on the weekends.

[old grouch]

I hope they show 'Green Acres' after 'Petticoat Junction'. 'The Mothers in Law' would be a good Sunday afternoon show. They showed 'The Brady Bunch' and 'Star Trek' prominently in their Summer of Me commercial. I wonder if they will give those shows weekday slots. I'm hoping...

It looks like the week of June 17th is when things start changing, according the ME-TV website. Sunday, June 17th, Father's Day will have 4 episodes of Make Room for Daddy airing in the afternoon and then starting Monday, Kojak is off the schdule, Rockford Files moves into its timeslot. Back to back episodes of Hogan's Heroes are in the Rockford Files slot. Then the prime-time schedule each night is a little different for the whole week.

This could be jumping the gun, but it looks like the Tuesday June 19th, evening 8-10Eastern timeslot will consist of The Brady Bunch, The Mothers-in-Law, That Girl and Love, American Style. Green Acres is scheduled for Wednesday, June 20th with 2 episodes.

It is unclear if this is just a special week for the start of summer or something more permanent.

I really hope they strip Make Room For Daddy, although I'm sure they will be the same hack jobs that TV Land ran in the 90s.

anyone know if shows on ME TV are uncut?

I just saw the new Schedule and I'm not happy that they are taking off Dobie Gillis

Yeah looks like the whole week of primetime is a mixed bag with Cheers and The Dick Van Dyke Show at 10 & 10:30 each night.


Monday:
800 - The Mary Tyler Moore Show
830 - The Dick Van Dyke Show
900 - The Bob Newhart Show
930 - The Honeymooners

Tuesday:
800 - The Brady Bunch
830 - The Mothers-In-Law
900 - That Girl
930 - Love, American Style

Wednesday:
800 - The Beverly Hillbillies
830 - The Beverly Hillbillies
900 - Green Acres
930 - Green Acres

Thursday:
800 - Batman
830 - Batman
900 - Get Smart
930 - Get Smart

Friday:
800 - The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour
900 - The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour


I am really curious as to how they are presenting the [originally] hour-long Lucy shows. MeTV has it listed on the schedule as The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour but I was under the impression it is only available in syndication as the split half-hour versions under the title of We Love Lucy (which is what they aired for their Lucille Ball 100th Birthday marathon last year). The descriptions of the 2 complete episodes airing Friday are the names of both parts of the WLL syndication cuts. But MeTV has a track record of airing good restored prints so maybe it will indeed be the hour versions. As far as I know, the last time the full hours have been aired was on Nick@Nite or TVLand back in the 90s. There is a lot of interesting information regarding the show's history on the DVD collection.

I suppose we'll know soon enough if this is just a one week deal or not. Doing this for the rest of the summer under the "Summer Of Me" campaign would remind me of N@N's "Block Party Summer" before that network became worthless to me. At any rate, it's respectable of MeTV to shake things up every once in a while like this.

We waited so-o-o-o long for The Odd Couple to surface on some channel, and now it looks like METV has shelved it once again! Very upsetting. . . .
Especially when they continue to run multiple episodes of the same ol' shows back to back. SICK to DEATH of MASH and The Brady Bunch. Also, really sorry to see Dobie Gillis go!

[eng51squad51]

Dobie Gillis is still on the METV schedule.

Does your post mean that MTM and Bob Newhart will only be shown ONCE a week now?

[Retro76]

I am excited for the forthcoming Summer of MeTV. However, IMO, I think certain shows that have gone through a complete cycle more than twice since December 2010 should have breaks otherwise, they'll get stale and boring. As far as MTM goes, I'm extremely disappointed that Me-TV has NOT aired the series finale during its run. I also wished that Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley were moved to weekdays during this period.

Wonder why ME-TV never aired the finale of MTM??
