3 Hours was a little much of Gilligan's Island on Sundays.

[Bonniegirl]

Three hours to fill! I wonder what they will be putting on ? I hope some I Love Lucy ! I remember Lucy being on Sunday after noon before they started the Gilligan three hour tour ! They didn't show 3 hours of Lucy though, I think Different Strokes was on too and I forget what else ?

I tried looking to see if there was any info on what could be replacing it, but couldn’t find anything.

Before I put on my party hat to celebrate I also want to know what they're going to replace it with. If they go the route of other USED to be classic TV stations and start putting on shows from the '90's or even the '80s (Buffalo Bill & Newhart the only 2 exceptions) I would be very sorry.

But 3 shows Me TV plays to death, it's already been at the beating a dead horse stage for years, those 3 shows I'd LOVE to see leave FOREVER on Me TV: Hogans Zeros, MUSH, & Gilligan's Dump. I'd be happy to live the rest of my life and never see them again.

Happy Days from 2-3pm and 4-5 and Laverne & Shirley from 3-4pm.

Oh, Ok !! I kinda thought this ! There was another thread going on that was hinting at Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley ! Not a big fan of HD but I love L & S , so all is good ! Nice to have some changes ! I love Gilligan , but 3 hours in one day going on for a long time is a little much !


I didn't get my I Love Lucy but I will tune in for Laverne & Shirley ! Even certain eps.of Happy Days I will watch! After all, the love of my life, Michael Lembeck DID guest star on HD , I don't want to miss that ep.!!

How about this idea? Me TV show some originality and play a couple of shows that have NOT been played to death everywhere on every other channel already? Novel idea? I Love Lucy, by the way is on every morning on Hallmark for marathon sessions for cripes sake and it's also on Me TV every morning at 6:30. Do we really need more endless plays of I Love Lucy on the weekend too? I Love Lucy is good, but nothing's that good.

My novel thought would be they show a couple shows that you never or hardly ever see, just once, if not for any other reason than it would just be nice to see them ONCE:
Love That Bob (my #1 choice)
Real McCoys
Bachelor Father
Mr. Terrific
Captain Nice
Philip Marlowe
Baretta
or if you insist on sitcoms only:
Pete & Gladys
December Bride
Farmer's Daughter

I could come up with some more, but those come immediately to mind. And please don't anyone suggest Lucy Desi Comedy Hr. as a radical idea.

That sucks!

They show some pretty awful shows so take those off instead!

But that's not specifically about Gilligan's Island.

Your TV suggestions sound good !! I am all for some obscure old TV shows to be shown on METV !

I love Baretta , but I don't think that it will ever be shown again on TV being that Robert Blake's wife was murdered and even though he was found not guilty , there is still that doubt and speculation and well I don't think Baretta will ever be shown again on any Retro channels do to this !

[Hazel Anyday]

Me TV wouldn't have the guts to play Baretta, but I dare them to play Dickens & Fenster. I double-dare them to play Love That Bob.

I know it’s not, but just wanted to point it out.

This Year will be the first MeTV’s Summer of ME schedule that Gilligan’s Island not included since 2013
