My MeTV schedule proposal for Fall 2023 (and other Weigel networks)

[KentB3]

First of all, I would like to thank Sitcoms Online for creating this sub-forum. Much like many others on these forums, creating TV schedule proposals has long been a hobby of mine, and I have posted these online since the Usenet days in the late 1990's.

Anyway, I wrote and updated schedule proposal what I would schedule on MeTV and other Weigel networks for Fall 2023. Starting with MeTV, here's what I have so far now:
