Week of June 1: I Want My MeTV

By Sylvia Gurinsky
Not since the classic Nick at Nite of the 1990s has retro television been so good.

A few years ago, Tribune-owned Antenna TV went on the air with classic television shows. Now, MeTV - owned by Weigel Broadcasting and distributed by MGM - is spreading throughout the country as well.

Antenna TV has a nice combination of shows, including "The Burns and Allen Show," "Adam-12," "All in the Family," "WKRP in Cincinnati" and "NewsRadio," to name a few.

MeTV, which stands for "Memorable Entertainment Television," is even better. Its selections include "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "The Bob Newhart Show," "Bonanza," "Hawaii Five-O" (the real, original one), "Perry Mason," "The Rockford Files," "I Love Lucy" and more.

It's addictive. Since it appeared in my community a few weeks ago, many people have started watching.

Here's the website:

See you next week. Until then, Happy Viewing!
