MeTV schedule changes coming

[Corrado]

Some programming changes headed our way for MeTV, I saw a promo for "Dragnet" coming soon last night. I checked the website, but nothing new posted yet for other changes.

I'm not sure why they would choose that with it currently airing on the Antenna TV Network with so many other retro TV programs that haven't aired in years.

I saw another coming soon ad with "Adam 12" last night.

According to their FB page both shows will start on May 6 at 4 PM. (Apparently replacing Wild Wild West)

YAY!!!!!!!! 2:

I think that they are also going to be bringing back The Untouchables as well!

(only problem is that's the same time People's Court comes on. Gonna have to time shift I guess.. Oh well.. )

Why does MeTv and others keep bringing back so much of whats been on before when theres soo much that can be gottin that hasn't been shown much for years.

Syndicators don't always offer certain series from time to time, so there's no way for a broadcaster to obtain them legally.

There are a lot of classic older shows that most cable TV networks feel are too old or of poor picture quality that never get aired.
Research found that many viewers, especially younger ones, tended to avoid B/W shows altogether.
That's the main reason older shows like I Dream Of Jeannie and Bewitched whose early years were in B/W, were colorized when they were restored for syndication.
The episodes ME-TV air aren't the restored versions.
One show I think deserves airing, is Ben Casey. It had many popular guest stars and the stories were well written.
Other well written shows include Gomer Pyle USMC and My Three Sons. I don't think these shows are airing anywhere right now.

My Three Sons is on MeTV weekday mornings. Good TV...

 

[JFOK]

Tron,

Thanks for the update on My Three Sons.
Didn't know ME-TV was airing this show...I never watch TV at 7 AM anyway, too busy getting ready for work at that time.

 

[Tron]

I hadn't been watching early since they removed Gunsmoke from the early morning slots, but I tuned in recently and My Three Sons was on.

That's good to know, I haven't watched that Antenna tv channel very much since it became OTA close enough for me to pick it up. I grew up watching Archie and family, the Jeffersons and Maude.

 

[mikew]

Maude is available on AntennaTV as well...

I'm a little further away that you, but in the opposite direction. AntennaTV comes in most nights for me. I do need to get my tower raised another section but have not recruited the help yet to get the job done. I use a cheap clone wisker type antenna for AntennaTV and a CM7777 pre-amp. The pre-amp makes all the difference. A cheap pre-amp gave me no signal at all.

Is the Mod squad new to MeTv? Watched a few episodes today!Been awhile since i saw that show.

 

[Peter Parker]

Does anyone know if we can see the new schedule anywhere?
