The practice of putting 1 or 2 hour blocks of the same shows is getting old.
Time to get some new shows into the lineup
I have an ax to grind, maybe 2. I just heard Columbo will be retired, however the "light-hearted" take on the Nazi's - Hogans Heros continues to plague the air waves. When will enough MeTV fans say enough is enough? The Swastika, no matter who designed it centuries, ago symbolizes terror, pain, death and the most darkest corners of one's soul ever imagined, yet Bing Crosby's studio felt it was fine to exploite it for comedy. I am not a woke-type individual, I have been insulted and offended for 40 years. Please MeTV viewers, lend your voice to mine and ask MeTV to retire the insensitive, unfunny Hogan's Heros!!
Enjoy these online extras as MeTV Remembers the M*A*S*H Finale on Veterans Day. (Not very long, but interesting). I assume they're clips from the extended interview
To the point of the MASH time slot (from 7:30pm to 10pm in our marketplace). That would be a 2 hr finale plus a 30 minute interview, is how I read it.
Our affiliate delayed it: Watch the M*A*S*H Finale rerun, on Thursday, November 11, at 7PM | 6C on MeTV!
