MeTV moving on to color episodes after B&W ones finish - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The first color episode is scheduled on November 3, the day after the last black and white episode airs. I take it that means, assuming it stays on the schedule long enough, they're going to go all the way through all 12 seasons consecutively. No station has ever done that.

So that's the Friday after Halloween. That means it won't go back to Season 1 till like next Spring or Summer. Unless Me-TV has M3S back to back again.

As I've said elsewhere on this site, I have a login for MeTV's affiliate relations website.

Well, I didn't know you have a login for Me-TV's website because I didn't know you posted it elsewhere on this site since this is the first time you mentioned it.

I've mentioned it in some of the MeTV schedule threads I've posted in the general forum, but that doesn't really matter. I realize you might not have read every single post in those threads (nor is there really any reason to.)

At any rate, I hope they run seasons 11 and 12.

I'm sure they will. Anyways, thanks for the information and the heads-up.

I'm all for running the series in order. But in this case, since they've run seasons 6-10 so many times, I wish they'd just skip to 11 when they're done with 5. And then go back to 1 again before going back to season 6.

Doug-oh · 10-08-2017, 03:51 PM

I'd personally prefer ALL eps. in order of seasons, i.e. Seasons 1-forward, including the later years.

faraj · 10-13-2017, 01:26 AM

According to my DVR schedule on the XFinity app on my iPhone, The First Marriage, which was the first M3S color ep. of the series, is scheduled to air on Me-TV on 11/3. So it's all true.

Hazel Anyday · 10-13-2017, 07:53 PM

Still the question for the ages WILL Me TV run seasons 11 & 12?? Hmm?

But I'm still thrilled they've run ALL (so far) the b/w episodes!!

I'm sure Me-TV will. When M3S was on Hallmark (or Odyssey at the time) at the turn of the century, they showed all the colored episodes from S6 through S11. I know TV Land showed the color episodes too, but I don't know if they showed all 7 of those color seasons on that network.

faraj · 10-14-2017, 01:14 AM

I wonder if Me-TV will have a commercial, promoting the color M3S eps. Or at least post a video of that ad online through its website. They ought to.

biffbronson · 10-14-2017, 02:42 PM

Possibly, but they've aired some of the color season eps in the past, so the promo may be low-key.

I wanted to mention that the Decades channel has aired a storyline from the start of Season 11 (Chip & Polly), so at least part of that season did hit the airwaves elsewhere, over the past year (at the end of one of their "Weekend Binges").

OK, I didn't know Me-TV aired color eps. of My Three Sons before. I thought that show was new on Me-TV which, I believe, hasn't even been around that long. And the airing of Decades TV and other channels has nothing to do with that of Me-TV. Although I hope they air all the color episodes like Hallmark/Odyssey did.
