I'm looking to those Spooky Sunday block parties!!! I figured they would do a marathon of other shows besides sitcoms.

Some (one time only) schedule changes on 10/1 because of the special:

The Three Stooges at 6PM will only be an hour instead of its usual 2 hours.

Svengoolie airs at 7PM (again, one time only) and will feature "Count Yorga, Vampire" (1970).

The new special, "Svengoolie Uncrypted" airs at 9PM.

The season premiere of Sventoonie, which is an hour, airs at 10PM.

The first Spooky Sunday Block Party on 10/2 consists of Halloween/horror themed sitcom episodes.

12PM: The Brady Bunch "The Great Earring Caper"
12:30: The Brady Bunch "Fright Night"
1PM: Gilligan's Island "Ghost A-Go-Go"
1:30: Gilligan's Island "Up at Bat"
2PM: Happy Days "Haunted"
2:30: Happy Days "The Evil Eye"
3PM: My Three Sons "Ghost Next Door"
3:30: Leave It to Beaver "The Haunted House"
4PM: Green Acres "The Ballad of Molly Turgis"
4:30: The Beverly Hillbillies "Trick or Treat"

Then, there will an encore of Svengoolie Uncrypted at 5PM.

Thanks again for the information, snowpeck! It'll be interesting to see what the other October movies on Svengoolie are!

This is what the schedule should look like every afternoon!!!

Unfortunately, a few of you won't be able to watch Svengoolie (whoever that is) or any of these great series because MeTV's parent company has removed the channel as of today in a few key markets and replaced it with new diginets Charge! and Comet in much the same way that Start TV replaced Decades in many areas.

Sinclair is not the owner of MeTV, Weigel Broadcasting is. The parent companies own stations and networks, and where they don't own stations they compete for affiliates. So some local stations have agreed to affiliate with Charge or Comet instead of MeTV.

I totally agree. This would be a great afternoon schedule but instead we have those lousy westerns.

Cox Media Group owns Comet here in the Boston area, and we still have our MeTV affiliates.

Please let Sinclair broadcasting know what you think about this deceitful move.
