Returning to MeTV in 2018 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

PhoenixAcres · 09-18-2016, 06:29 PM

I've heard some sources say that Green Acres will transition from Antenna TV to MeTV sometime in 2018. I'm guessing this is a good thing, since MeTV has a history of treating its shows better (i.e. not credit crunching). I can only hope that policy will hold true two years from now.

I just wish a company would release the complete series in one nice big set. That'd make my day.

Cool!

I'm not very happy that Antenna put Green Acres on so early!

I'd love to have a big box set of Green Acres!

I wish they'd put it on Saturday and Sunday between 1-4.

This HAS actually run before on MeTV. And, the complete series will be out October 17!--and some people already have their copies!

tlc38tlc38 · 09-25-2017, 08:56 PM

Hope it's not aired in the early morning hours like "The Facts of Life".

Between 9am and 5pm would be great but that'll probably never happen because of their precious westerns.

Correct; from June to September 2012. This will be its second run which is why I said it's "returning".

Curiously, when they ran it in 2012 they only showed episodes from the first three seasons and I strongly suspected they were pulling them from the DVDs available at that time. For whatever reason, whether they get new prints or pull from the complete series DVDs, I hope they show the entire thing this time.

Even with it all out on DVD, I still hope they give it a good slot. Primetime would be wonderful but unlikely. Maybe to replace Hogan's Heroes at 10:00 PM or something.

tlc38tlc38 · 09-26-2017, 10:03 AM

^ANYTHING to replace "Hogan". LOL

PhoenixAcres · 09-26-2017, 09:19 PM

^Yeah I agree. Hogan and friends have long outstayed their welcome.

PhoenixAcres · 10-15-2017, 11:59 AM

Have we received official word from MeTV on what month it'll start? November 2018 will mark five years on Antenna, so maybe that's when their contract is up.

tlc38tlc38 · 10-19-2017, 09:24 AM

So happy it's coming to MeTV! I've been enjoying my dvd set! When I have free time, I pop in a disc and watch Oliver's vegetables 'shoost' up to the sky!

Maybe several other shows will also be added in 2018. The schedule now is getting stale...especially all the westerns clogging up daytime.

No, although I think maybe January?

Exactly. I hate westerns. They also need to get rid of MASH and Hogan’s Heroes or at least move them to a different time. I hope with all these new shows coming to Antenna TV, maybe some more of the older ones will move from Antenna to Me.

Hazel Anyday · 10-19-2017, 08:39 PM

In my world Green Acres already began 3 weeks ago, thanks to the new DVD set. What difference does it make whether Antenna or Me is or will show it, the point is it's on TV already for those that have never heard of DVDs and the thought of watching something that is not on a live TV broadcast is totally foreign to them.

I do agree though that Hogans Heroes & ESPECIALLY MUSH are LONG LONG WAY OVERDUE to be replaced. I hate both of those shows and haven't watched either one in decades and never plan to watch it.

BUT I do love those Westerns, the more the merrier. BUT (a lot of buts) the problem with Me's westerns are they keep showing the same small handful over and over, esp. Rifleman and Bonanza, they've long ago should have been shifted out and replaced with other never or hardly ever seen westerns like Joel McCrea's Tales of TX Rangers or The Loner or any number of other great westerns I could name. Believe it or not ME TV there actually were other westerns besides Rifleman.
