MeTV September schedule changes (More changes!)

[snowpeck]

Yes I realize these changes come only a couple weeks after the changes posted in the other thread, but this is apparently the official fall schedule, so I decided to make another thread. (Mods, you can merge this with the other one if you see fit)

This is all effective September 4th.

Wagon Train comes to weekdays, Happy Days comes to weeknights replacing ALF which moves to Sunday mornings. The Saturday night lineup is jumbled a little, putting Svengoolie on in prime time. Sundays are shuffled a bit too with the addition of Facts of Life, The Lucy Show, Mama's Family and Touched by an Angel.

NEW/RETURNING SHOWS: Happy Days, Highway Patrol, The Lucy Show, Touched By an Angel, The Fugitive, The Untouchables, Peter Gunn

LEAVING SHOWS: Our Miss Brooks, Rhoda, Love American Style, Kolchak the Night Stalker, Sledge Hammer, Car 54 Where Are You, The Phil Silvers Show, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour

Sven @ 8pm??? That's a great time!!!

[stevea]

The addition of Highway Patrol is interesting. Too bad they are sticking with Hogan...obviously it's working for them.

Mama's Family has evidently worked at 9 pm. Too bad about ALF (I know many were glad to see that added), but at least it wasn't totally removed. Same for Petticoat Junction.

I definitely like Sunday afternoons (which must have been a bust on Summer of Me).

One more comment: do we really need more westerns in the afternoon? I guess they think so!

[BigManMike]

Saturday mornings are good but too early and Saturday afternoons are crap as always. Glad to see Facts of Life on Sunday afternoons and also glad to see Touched by an Angel Sunday nights.

[tlc38tlc38]

Touched by an Angel is a good show but why couldn't they find another slot for it and move Last Laughs up an hour.

I like that Mama's Family & Facts of Life are on Sundays now.

Poor ALF got the shaft.

Wagon Train on weekdays...ugh...another western.

MASH & Hogan's Heroes still hangin on like a bad hangnail. These need to go or at least be put at another time.

[stevea]

Yeah I forgot to complain about MASH--it's overstayed its welcome even more than Hogan.

Unless you're talking about other channels, Lucy won't be on during the week anymore.

[MrsAndyTaylor]

More westerns? I'll keep switching over to Designing Women at 11 on a different channel and watching two hours of that after Matlock.

I'm also sick of Hogan's Heroes but I'm getting my teens into MASH, so I'm happy it's staying.

[PhoenixAcres]

Why on earth:

* are they keeping their massive Westerns block on at 12 PM? Gunsmoke and Bonanza especially have been in that same spot since forever.

* are they keeping the MASH eternally at 7:00 PM?

* are they still wasting precious primetime slots by running two Hogan's Heroes at 10?

* do they still wait until 11 PM on Sundays to start their sitcom block??

Most of my complaints are about what they HAVEN'T changed rather than what they have. It's really starting to get old. They could use a big schedule overhaul.

Right. I was so used to it being there, I didn't notice it wasn't. So they ditched the Bradys, before Summer of Me, at 7 am, and now it work at 6:30 am???

[storrs19]

I'm sick of MASH and Hogan's Hereoes but they obviously draw the ratings so I guess that's why they stay. I'll miss shows like Our Miss Brooks, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, and Mayberry RFD as they're not available on DVD. For my tastes it's not an improvement at all.

[tlc38tlc38]

I'll probably watch:

Weekdays:
6pm: Hawaii Five-0
8-9pm: Gomer Pyle
9pm: Mama'a Family
9:30pm: Happy Days
11pm: Carol Burnett

Saturday: nothing

Sunday:
The Brady Bunch Brunch
2-3pm: Facts of Life
3-4pm: Mama's Family

If I'm up early, I'll also watch "Beverly Hillbillies", "Leave It to Beaver", "Petticoat Junction", & "ALF" when they air.

[Svenfan1234]

I watch "Svengoolie", of course, on Saturdays.

I wish that " Remington Steele" was there instead of "Diagnosis Murder".

[MikeLutton]

so glad happy days is staying
