Really MeTV???

Post by lidoshuffle » Thu Nov 23, 2023 1:41 pm

1:30pm watching Gunsmoke (cause the Lions decided to lay a turkey egg so far), and suddenly a parade comes on, really MeTV, or WDIV, or whoever did this??

There is nothing worse than Gunsmoke being interrupted by a parade on Thanksgiving Day. In the words of that Chaka Khan song from 1984 “I Feel For You”.

Just buy the series DVD set. All 635 episodes for $173.41 on Amazon. A lot better quality than MeTV.

That has to be a 'DIV thing, not MeTV.

They did something similar on Wednesday night, when a Saturday Night Live Thanksgiving special pre-empted Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, and Hogan's Heroes.

Am I the only one feeling deeply sorry for lido watching Gunsmoke reruns on Thanksgiving Day? I picture him alone, in front of his 27" Zenith tube TV eating a Swanson turkey dinner, drinking a Stroh's and rooting for Marshall Dillon to get a posse together.

A good alternative to the Lions yesterday was the Dean Martin Roast marathon on Catchy Comedy.

One of the funniest parts of those shows was the Chicken Little disclaimer before each show, about outdated cultural humor and the need for viewer discretion. Don't they understand that's one of the main reasons why people watch that show? :blink

Should you feel equally as sad for the folks posting here a dozen times throughout the afternoon and early evening on Turkey and Christmas Days. It's almost like coming right out and saying "Why yes, I don't have any friends or family that like me. How could you tell?".
Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it. There's no going back, and we can only go forward before we run out of runway.

Whenever NBC programming gets relegated to Me-TV for Loco 4's (usually goofy) local programming, the automation NEVER works properly.

Detroit viewers got screwed out of SNL's Thanksgiving special thanks to WDIV's programming decisions.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Just was making a suggestion so he can spare himself from future anguish when it inevitably gets pre-empted again for one thing or another.

To some of us that sounds much more relaxing than being thrown together in one room with a bunch of relatives.
