I'm glad it's back but I wish it was on weekdays. It's too much of a habit-forming show than to be shown just one day a week. It's a bright sunny show that works well at 5pm as a late afternoon pick-me-up show for people who don't watch the news. And it would probably introduce younger viewers to the show. And that's a good time for classic sitcoms. I'm searching for something to watch then. MeTV has Charlie's Angels on now and that strikes me as more of a once-a-week show.

I agree with youz. It should be on weekdays when kids are awake and home from school. Me TV has a lot of it's shows on at really bad time periods. For instance the mornings and daytime shows should all be classic sitcoms and Dark Shadows in the afternoon. What in the world are Diagnosis Murder, Perry Mason & Matlock doing on in the morning hours, of all shows those shows are perfect night time shows, NOT for every morning viewing. Think of all the kids home from school, they tune in to ME TV and see Matlock! What the heck?? They then of course tune to FETV or Antenna TV where they can see real morning shows like Hazel and Bewitched, and Dennis The Menace. And what about bringing back another couple of real week-DAY time shows Real McCoys & That Girl, it's been gone from TV schedules for way too long. Bring back the classics to DAYtime TV and put the drama crap on at night, wake up ME TV, who are you programming for anyway, I sure as heck don't want to watch court dramas in the morning and I'm no kid. Put that junk on after midnight where it belongs.

That's great it's back but it's a really bad time. It'd be nice if MeTV could overhaul their schedule for the better.

Nice to see the show return, but I just really wish it wasn't on so late at night.

Its Surprising that The Dick Van Dyke Show is returning to METV after a lengthy stint with Cozi TV.

11:00 is far from "late at night"

Most people are asleep by then. It really deserves to be during primetime IMO.

Samme · 05-01-2019, 09:25 PM

Yeah, it would be a great replacement for Hogan's Heroes.
