Wish I got the channel

I live in the DC market and I can't believe we still don't get it after all these years

I feel EXACTLY the same way!

No wonder Antenna TV is waiting for Sept. to unleash their Bewitched/Jeannie double whammy, as I had mentioned yesterday. Me-TV stepped in and "borrowed' them (?) in the meantime. So they will debut in Jan. after all, just on a different station. This made me think of an idea that might sound a bit far-fetched but could happen. Do you suppose there are times when the two network heads, who I understand are good friends, sit down and talk and decide to trade series, in much the same way that trades are made in sports? Something like "I'll give you Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and Batman in exchange for Gidget, The Flying Nun, and a Monkee to be named later?" I'm still confused as to how both series could show up on one network now and switch to another one later. I'm thinking that a current Antenna TV series or two might be heading the other way come next fall but that's just a hunch on my part. Don't hold me to it until I'm sure but for now I'm not ruling anything out.

It's not a trade. MeTV Network has rights to both series right now since the beginning of this month, but won't start it until January. And once again I stress, Antenna TV is not starting them in September. Please stop your assumptions on that. I already told you they won't be starting in September on that network. If you think about the timeline I just told you, you can sort of figure out when it will start on ATV. Anyway, we will release all in due time and give our exclusive on how MeTV snagged rights before ATV.

(I can hope!)

Won't be on that Sunday for sure because they have animated classics in that Showcase I believe. They have a holiday episode stunt on Dec. 24-25 that we will release soon. And if they have any plans for New Year's Eve/Day (we don't know yet), Bewitched could be in that.

I keep hoping maybe they could get rights to Family Ties (CBS) and Newhart (20th) since they have big deals with those studios as it is. The addition of Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie is nice.

I wish they would've brought Taxi back instead of The Odd Couple. I'll go ahead and be the one to say it...MTM, Bob Newhart, and Dick Van Dyke are tired in primetime. With all of the other shows they have access to, it'd be nice to see something else.

I'd give this schedule a 6 out of 10....they have a lot of good shows. It's too bad they don't show more sitcoms in the afternoon/evening. I like Antenna TV's double episodes more also, fewer shows but we get to see more of them.

I would love to see Mary, Bob, and Dick in primetime but have never gotten ME-TV. Their new schedule from 7-11:30 is much better than what Antenna TV currently airs at the same times (of course Antenna's schedule will change as well).

[Jude The Obscure]

I'm happy with the new additions--pleasantly surprised!

[LeeBlue]

I'm a happy camper since The Odd Couple is being added and will be in primetime!
..
And I'm a fan of Raymond Burr so I'm doubly happy that Perry Mason is still in the line-up! .

I haven't seen Bewitched in a while, so that will be nice!!! I also am glad that they kept The Brady Bunch and I Love Lucy on Sundays!!!
I think Cheers is currently on Hallmark...right? I know they for sure show Fraiser.

Hallmark will have The Brady Bunch in January, also. I don't know why ME relegates it to weekends, but then again, it does come on INSP during the week for an hour.

Yes, but it will be on Monday now as we had some items we had to share first this week.

We also have Antenna TV's January schedule and hope to release that in the coming weeks as well. No set date yet for release.

I'm sorry to see CHEERS go, but at least it's still showing on REELZ. And I'm glad they're brining back THE ODD COUPLE and keeping THE FUGITIVE on sundays.

I keep forgetting about that!!

[MRPITT]

Cheers also airs on USA Saturday Nights and sometimes during the week.

Recently it aired on HDNET in HD uncut and comercial free I wish they brought that back, It looked great.
