I feel the same way. It's already bad enough as it is but now they're pushing it back an hour. I can remember when MeTV used to show these shows five times a week in primetime but now they're just being disrespected. Maybe they want to give the new show a decent slot, but I've never heard of the Night Stalker and according to Wikipedia it only lasted 20 episodes.

What turned out to be the pilot for the Night Stalker was a pretty sensational TV movie back in the early 70s.

I used to be into The Night Stalker. I even have the book about the series.

I actually like the Sunday night changes. I never got into The Honeymooners, so I'll probably tune in starting at 11:30 with The Odd Couple up until Taxi or Get Smart goes off.

Yep, along with a couple of other shows expiring. Just my speculation, but I strongly believe shows like Small Wonder, Mr. Belvedere, Newhart & Evening Shade will be expiring in January.

Aww!

I like McHale's Navy!

I didn't watch it that much,but when I did I really like it!

Leave it to Beaver too, but that isn't leaving TV just moving! But 8AM !!! I liked it on Antenna at 10AM. That was a better time slot for me! Oh well, such is life !

Svenfan1234 · 11-29-2016, 02:32 PM

So it sounds like McHale's Navy is probably going to Cozi given that its Universal and Hitchcock probably Cozi as well.

Interesting because those are all Universal shows. Guess they are no longer working with Universal.
