They used to be a little interesting. Same old thing - let's run MASH 4x a day. I think Svengoolie is bringing home the bacon but even then, he's getting crappy movies and has brought in secondaries to cover the extra half-hour.

How about running "Early Edition" in place of "Dragnet"? Stop running Perry Mason and Mash 2X a Day. The commercials ae getting on the edge of Antenna TV. And that is bad.

The channel is comfortable with what it has now. The president of MeTV says everything is dictated by ratings. He knows that fans want variety but unfortunately the channel is about making money and it seems MASH, Perry Mason, Westerns and Rural America sitcoms is what people want to keep watching.

Yep, exactly. Blame the people who clamor for MASH, Perry Mason, et al for the current state of the channel (and most others, too, really).

I said on another post and I still think they should do, if they are not going to make significant changes every quarter than during The Summer Of Me & A Very Merry Me TV they should show significant changes than Return to the Regular Schedule after The Summer Of Me TV & After A Very Merry Me TV.
