Poor Outer Limits

[Mr. Television]

At least I'll be able to watch Kolchak: The Night Stalker this time.

I am still hoping for St. Elsewhere to make it to one of MeTV's future schedules. It makes sense, it's an MTM show like some of theirs, and it's practically the only MTM drama besides Lou Grant they don't have. They need to air St. Elsewhere & Lou Grant!

The Outer Limits airs both the 60s and 90s versions on a diginet that is called Comet. I had assumed that was the only place, 2 diginets don't usually air a show at the same time.

I do not get Comet unfortunately.

So now I'll have 3 Gomer Pyle episodes in a row every weeknight? I like Gomer but that's overkill.

Boo to them moving Mama's Family to 9:30. 9 was better.

Westerns are still a bore...

[BigManMike]

Same old crummy schedule. MASH and Hogan’s Heroes just can’t ever leave the same timeslots.Glad to see Diff’rent Strokes though and at least I still have my Touched by an Angel and Honeymooners on Sunday nights. Other than that, nothing to write home about.

The Only negative things about METV’s upcoming schedule starting next month:

- Sanford & Son and One Day at a Time are not in it because GetTV will soon air Sanford & Son when January comes.

- Weekday Lineup now has 6 hours of Western

- ALF left the weeknight schedule

- Gomer Pyle USMC airs 3 times during the Evening in some of the METV Affliates

- Barnaby Jones, Newhart, Flipper, Knight Rider, Police Woman & Charlie’s Angels also have not been added

I would love to have 90 minutes of Gomer Pyle in primetime. Unfortunately I have never had a Me-TV affiliate.

I noticed that Diff'rent Strokes recently left Starz Black, after a long run on there. I wonder if Sony gave MeTV an exclusive on it, and Starz lost the rights.

I agree that those of us who get the 8/8:30 pm weekday alternate feed, that a triple dose of Gomer is too much. I wonder how the scheduling will work.

They evidently have problems with the 5 am half hour and the 5 pm hour. They've made many changes at those times.

[icecream]

how I might have scheduled this. I would replace Andy Griffith with Gomer Pyle nationwide since too many affiliates have to preempt with one of their locals having rights. Westerns are also way too much, 12-6PM on weekdays is even more than TV Land now.
