Bummer about WKRP. Hopefully it comes back soon.

I've only seen a handful of Twilight Zone '85 episodes. It was pretty interesting.

Is this the new schedule for the Summer of Me?

If so, I'm surprised that it’s getting announced this early.

If WKRP is leaving the Me TV lineup, hopefully that is a good sign it will be expiring from there and Antenna TV finally got back the WKRP rights.

I guess we'll see, but WKRP is now owned by Disney so who knows. They're probably just resting it.

BigManMike · 05-01-2019, 11:42 PM

Glad to see they’re showing more Green Acres and in a good spot as well. Yet they still have that stupid Hogan’s Heroes hogging up that whole same hour when they could have eliminated one of them to keep WKRP on. I will never understand why that show needs two episodes when it only ran 6 seasons. It’s a full boring show that just can’t ever seem to leave.

I'm not a Westerns fan, but I've wondered why they hadn't made the change to air the 90 minute Wagon Trains. I think those are in color.

stevea · 05-02-2019, 07:17 AM

There's some interesting info. about the 1980s Twilight Zone over on Wikipedia. The episodes were shot on 35mm film, but rather than edit on film, the episodes were put on videotape, and edited there. For that reason, the episodes couldn't be remastered from a new 35mm print created from the original negatives, as is commonly done for DVD issues. A writer/producer for the series says they do look good on the DVDs, and that the DVD issues were a fortunate thing, since videotapes deteriorate over time (my note: I thought film deteriorated over time, as well).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think these episodes have ever been shown in syndication (other than the episodes that were shown in original syndication).

Merry24 · 05-02-2019, 11:59 AM

Hmm. Interesting The Three Stooges Are On Me TV now! I think they should of had Sci-Fi shows from 6pm-12AM. Starting at 12AM The Three Stooges Than like some strange shows (The Brady Bunch Variety Hour & The Monkee’s & etc).

I would love to see Leave It To Beaver added to Sunday’s this Fall. Speaking of Beaver I wish they would add Beaver & Dick Van Dyke to WeekNights Primetime Hopefully in the Fall they will do something like this..

Weeknights
8pm Andy Griffith
8:30pm Gomer Pyle
9pm Green Acres
9:30pm Leave It To Beaver
10pm Andy Griffith
10:30pm Dick Van Dyke

stevea · 05-02-2019, 01:06 PM

They're probably testing Dick Van Dyke to see how well it does--if it does well, it may end up back in primetime. I'd like to see them get the rights to the Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited from 2004.

I'd like to see your schedule just to see Hogan go away.

MA · 05-02-2019, 01:15 PM

The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited is on YouTube if you're interested.

Mr. Television · 05-02-2019, 03:25 PM

Three Stooges. yea.

PhoenixAcres · 05-02-2019, 03:38 PM

Happy about Green Acres, Three Stooges, and Dick Van Dyke.

But it's been going on 10 years now that Gunsmoke and MASH have been in those same spots. To me it would make sense to try different shows there but I guess they have other ideas.
