New schedule starting May 28, and OF COURSE, it's like 98% the same, but at least we get Charlie's Angels on weekday afternoons. I really want them to try and stick with crime/adventure shows in that daypart. The Facts of Life, Diff'rent Strokes, Love Boat, and Touched By an Angel cut to one episode per week to make way for an hour each of Gilligan's Island, The Jeffersons, and The Odd Couple on Sundays.

I have the entire series of CA on DVD but I never have time to pull out any of my DVDs anymore, so hopefully I can catch an episode from time to time on Me.

Eh.

 

Nice to see Charlie's Angels though. Been a while since I've watched so I'll try to catch it. I see Mama's Family is back on weekdays and Me-TV has also added The Jeffersons. Me-TV needs to give Touched by an Angel to LightTV.

 

Better for Odd Couple on Sunday I guess. And I think they're bringing back Gilligan, right?

 

But still, kind of the same old same old.

Oh, I do too. lol

 

MASH, Andy, the westerns ... they're good but personally were never that appealing to me. Andy more so than the westerns and MASH. MASH is rerun SO much ....

I've never seen anything on MeTV, but out of curiosity, how complete are the episodes as aired? Most often, vintage programs have scenes cut out from each episode, to make room for more commercials, unless you watch the shows on premium pay services like Netflix.

 

Many years ago, I tried to watch Little House on the Prairie, Gunsmoke, and The Big Valley on a local station, but the editing was so severe and atrocious, I just could not stand it. LHotP, whose episodes originally ran for about 47 minutes, had a whopping ten minutes sliced out of several eps. The Big Valley and Gunsmoke, originally about 50 minutes, had about 13 minutes ripped from each episode. Sure, I could buy the DVDs of many classics--if they were released--but even commercially-released TV sets sometimes presented buyers with the dreaded edited-for-syndication versions.

    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
