MeTV

For those of us in the US, there is a wonderful, fairly recent channel that is over-the-air, as opposed to a cable channel. Memorable Entertainment Television (http://www.metvnetwork.com/) is a network that airs old shows. Locally, it was picked up by my local NBC station. Maybe it is just that I am old, but I get a kick out of seeing some these old shows.

The Rifleman was a show my older brother and I used to watch religiously :smile:

Batman was the same.

Rawhide with a very young Clint Eastwood.

Wanted: Dead Or Alive with a very young Steve McQueen.

Star Trek (of course).

Comedies from the 70's, like Bob Newhart, Mary Tyler Moore, and Rhoda.

It has shows from before my time like Route 66, Mr. Lucky, and The Saint.

They will be airing The Odd Couple and Welcome Back Kotter soon.

I don't want to sound like an advertisemant for the station, but thought I'd share :smile:

TV Land used to be the network for this, but they went to newer, or rather less older shows and original programming.

There is also RetroTV (I think that is a Roku/Streaming service only) Zeus Media wants to put out a channel for each decade, so the 50's, 60's, 70's etc.

Interesting. A channel for every decade... (That sounds so cool!)

Does it have Bonanza? That's kind of important

Yes, I believe they have Bonanza.

I love MeTV although I am only ever able to catch Batman and I also keep missing Wonder Woman.

There also was Retirement Living Television at one point, but I have no idea what happened to that channel.

MeTV is pretty good though. Can never get tired of Shatner's or West's acting.

I like MeTV. I love watching shows like M.A.S.H., I Love Lucy, and the dike Van Dyke show. Good old-time entertainment. :)
