Get rid of most of the westerns or limit their airings.

Add a FEW sitcoms from the 80s (Perfect Strangers, Amen, It's a Living)

Pep up the Sunday Funnies a little by adding a couple more sitcoms to it and getting rid of "Columbo" and "Night Stalker". Last Laughs should start at 8 or 9.

Get rid of or reduce the airings of "M*A*S*H" and "Hogan's Heroes".

Add "Happy Days" & "The Odd Couple" to weekdays.

Bring back "Petticoat Junction".

More variety then just shows from the CBS Television Studios/Viacom/Desilu/Paramount Domestic Television Library

Think about the line-up and 90% of it is from CBS,et all.

Their 4 PM to Midnight block is very weak IMO.This is the weakest late afternoon/ prime time lineup I have ever seen on this channel.They need to adjust this. Maybe they could mix in ADAM 12,The Brady Bunch,Beverly Hillbilies or The Munsters in there to break up this monotony.

4 PM TO 5 PM - CHIPS (Never got into it)
5 PM TO 6 PM-MacGuyver (silly show)
6 M TO 7 PM -Mama's Family (Terrible.What is this show doing on METV ?)
7 PM TO 8 PM-MASH (Not my cup of tea but popular.But back to back ?)
8 PM TO 9 PM -Andy Griffith ( I like this show)
9 PM TO 10 PM-MacGuyver (A second time slot for this ?)
10 PM TO 11 PM- Hogans Heroes (Please get rid of this show)
11 PM TO 11:30 -Carol Burnett ( I like this show)
11:30 PM TO 12:30 AM - Perry Mason ( Eh, Can take it or leave it)

More sitcoms/dramas from the 80's

Add a Saturday Morning cartoon block since Cartoon Network and Boomerang rarely show vintage stuff anyways.

I think they could do really well by adding Saturday morning cartoons. For some reason they're really hung up on westerns.

Bring back some classics like the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show (if they could manage to get the rights--Cartoon Network sure does nothing with this catalog anymore), Flintstones, Jetsons, Jonny Quest, the old Hanna Barbera cartoons, etc.

That would really be great. I'd like to see the old Looney Tunes shorts shown in order.

Debut a Cartoon Block for Saturday Morning

Remove Hogan's Heroes from Weeknights; take off Sledge Hammer from the Sunday schedule

Reinstate Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days & Cheers into the Weekday schedule

Add Charlie's Angels, Barnaby Jones, Police Woman, Kate and Allie & WKRP in Cincinnati to the schedule

Remington Steele, The Doris Day Show, The Fugitive & Petticoat Junction returned to the schedule

I agree...and since MeTV doesn't get sports programmings and they're required to play E/I shows...have them be played between 12 pm and 4 pm since no one really watches TV at that time on a Saturday anyhow...
