Otherwise, it's not on.
Would have really liked MeTV running these two on Christmas Day.
So how is it that MeTV can show individual episodes from a series that's not currently running on MeTV? Is it because these seasonal (or Christmas) episodes are offered as an individual syndication package, (meaning one that just became available this year?). Or does it mean MeTV still has the syndication rights, and might be rotating the TV shows back into an updated future schedule?
Of course I don't really expect and answer from MeTV, but maybe someone else here, has seen a dedicated schedule on a different network??
Partial Answer - Some of these shows are still under syndication rights of Weigel Broadcasting, and are currently being aired on MeTV sister stations like Decades TV or Heroes & Icons. For example, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, and The Ed Sullivan Show are currently all on Decades TV. So MeTV can just borrow their Christmas Episodes for an airing.
P. S. - really miss the "memorable" Fan Club Cafe!
(First) Thank you for the compliment. We miss the FCC very much too!
(Second) Thank you for the reply! I forgot about the Weigel connection which explains everything!
Someone certainly got creative though, by pulling the Christmas episodes together, and making them a seasonal package! I don't get Decades anymore, so it will be fun to see a few episodes their shows again!
