Why does Me Tv stop at the 5th season and return to the 1st Season ?

EDIT: it's FE TV not ME TV

Is that MeTV+ or Catchy Comedy?

mine is ME TV through Comcast

My best guess is because My Three Sons is a massive show to cycle through. There were 380 episodes produced in total over the course of 12 seasons. To the best of my knowledge, there's never really been a truly "complete" syndication package for My Three Sons.

Initially, the syndication package was only the color produced episodes that aired on CBS from 1965-72, which on their own, would be 196 episodes. If I remember correctly, Nick at Nite in the mid-1980s started rebroadcasting the black and white episodes from ABC and maybe, the back end of the color seasons.

Same issue with Petticoat Junction on Me TV via comcast

I think that might be FETV, not MeTV as MeTV hasn't aired MTS since it was dropped in 2024 and moved to Catchy Comedy, and like MeTV, they have aired every episode from beginning to end.

MeTV has also aired every episode of Petticoat Junction from beginning to end too. FETV has also aired that show and The Beverly Hillbillies, which they are using the public domain prints, hence why they haven't aired all of the episodes.

My Error
FE TV is My 3 Sons

There’s also a We TV. Maybe they have it.

You can also edit the thread title if you wish to do so.

CBS daytime initially reran the color seasons for a while in the 1970s. Eventually the syndication package was season 6 (the first color season) thru the first 12 episodes of season 11. That was later narrowed to seasons 6 thru 10.

Nick at Nite ran the black and white seasons (1-5) and the remaining non-syndicated color episodes for much of the 1980s and 1990s. Odyssey/Hallmark also ran a hybrid package of the color seasons.

To my knowledge the black and white seasons and the last twelve episodes of season 11 and all of season 12 have never been officially syndicated, or even mastered to videotape from 35mm sources.
