For those who don't know, WWW will be off MeTV's Spring schedule starting May 6th. MeTV has chosen to use that slot for Dragnet 1967 and Adam-12. While I love my cop shows, I wish they'd chosen a different slot. I don't need to watch WWW on MeTV, but I know several people who have been watching it there.
Hopefully it will be back soon (like with the summer schedule).

They'll probably give it rest for the time being.
It'll be back. I'll be ready.

Yeah it's too bad they chose to take WWW off instead of say, Big Valley. But I'm sure it will be back. And preferably at a later time slot. 4pm is too early. I'm usually not around a TV at that hour. I'd prefer 7, 8, 9 pm or something like that. With all the "violence" it got cancelled for, shouldn't it be on at a later hour?  |

yeah I agree even when it was on ME TV it was always on these odd hours like in the middle of a saturday afternoon? I would tape it but then well it's just not the same.  I would vote for evenings too. How about Friday evenings at what was it before 8pm on cbs? I am so nostalgic it's ridiculous! |

actually in some areas, like mine in southern IL, it gets worse. ME shows adds for The Wild, Wild West all the time here, but the local channel runs local programming at that hour! Sigh. of course I have the four seasons on dvd now, but there's somehow something really fun about watching it as if it were still on network somewhere. LOL I think it would be a real hoot to have some channel like ME run our favourite programme at 7 or 8 pm on Fridays. Just like the good old days! [of course I was a mere child at that time! LOL

Ditto! I can't believe they don't have WWW on Me in your area. I don't get Me anymore since I switched cable companies. But yes I would much rather watch that like when we were kids! But then they would never show a classic retro like this in prime time viewing. Everyone wants to see the new shows. except us... boo hoo!  |

For years now I've been performing a ritual. Every Friday night at 7:30 PM, I get out the DVD box set and play an episode of the WWW in order from season 1 through season 4. It's so much fun, the only thing missing are the original commercials from the 60's, but that's ok. It's something I always look forward to every Friday night just like when I was a kid. |

Hello,
Right now, I'm into the third season, last Friday night I watched TNOT Samurai. What fun!!! I try to play the episodes in order as they were originally shown on network television back in the 60's. I use Susan Kesler's book (The Wild Wild West - The Series) as my guide.

That's so cool!! Funny it takes you EXACTLY 2 years to watch every episode that way. Then you have to start all over again. Haha. That is one fun hobby to have! And still watch it on ME-TV besides!
Btw do you still go over to the other WWW board?? I haven't seen you over there lately.

Btw Sordo as you probably know ME-TV just started Season 3 and Samurai will be on again this week--I think Wednesday.
And I just saw next Sunday WWW is on at 5 pm. Maybe that's it's new time slot for now after Adam 12 and Dragnet take over the Mon to Fri spot it had. Mod Squad is right before it at 4pm. I haven't seen that in years!!

Hello, Yes, I do. I just haven't posted over there for a while. I need to again. It seems lately, I've just been lurking and not contributing.  |

Isn't Sunday at 5 right in the middle of the Sunday Showcase? They're probably just showing one particular episode that fits their theme that week.

Yeah that's true. It may be for just that Sunday. Not sure what the theme is going to be about yet.
