They are showing A Taste Of Armageddon now.

Yes.

People are watching.

Re: TOS On MeTV?
 

Since the lead-in is Lost In Space, I doubt many are watching. Plus, they edit the episodes down way too much.

Re: TOS On MeTV?
 

This. I tried to watch Where No Man Has Gone Before and it was just butchered.

Re: TOS On MeTV?
 

yes I watch despite the poor editing.

Re: TOS On MeTV?
 

I'm watching.

Re: TOS On MeTV?
 

It's the only Star Trek I get at the moment. So, definitely.

And HEY! I couldn't ask for a better lead-in than "Lost In Space."

Re: TOS On MeTV?
 

I watch the episodes every Saturday despite the poor editing. It's the only show on television beyond repeats of Doctor Who on PBS that I watch these days. Everything else I watch I either own or borrow from the library.

I watch with my girlfriend, a huge TNG fan, when we can. I like seeing her excitement of discovery. But I add my voice to the others above regarding editing. During commercials, I often have to explain what was cut.

In defense of MeTV, so far as I can tell they present all their other programming uncut. That's one of the joys of the network. I suspect that they're just airing what they were given -- that's what TOSR is.

All by herself, my girlfriend has noted that cropping of scenes is very evident. I think this is one of the changes they made to accomodate different, modern screen ratios?

I'm not a big fan of TOSR, but I have to say that, even on a conventional television, the new prints are very crisp, and the colors are more dazzling than ever.

Well, first, Lost in Space remains a cult favorite TV series whatever one's personal opinion of it. And second, with DVRs, does it matter what show is a lead in? If Petticoat Junction was on before Trek, would that hideous program keep people from watching? Nope. People who want to watch Trek on TV will watch it.

I'm bummed that my local affiliate cuts to Paid Programming for the overnight hours - when the shows I really want to see are suypposed to be run. Mother Frackers.

Re: TOS On MeTV?
 

Well, first-- what's wrong with you people? I LOVE Petticoat Junction. LOVE IT I TELL YOU. And second, agreed: I don't have a DVR, but I do have a remote control. So I don't have to commit to a single station for the entire evening.

Our first MeTV affiliate was doing that, and also showing different shows after ten at night. The new one shows all the programming, and it's great. Nothing like sitting up with Honey West at 2:00 AM.

Ohhh Honey West...
the late Ann Francis in her prime... (sigh)

Sorry...y'all can go back to the regularly scheduled thread..

Re: TOS On MeTV?
 

Tonight they are showing This Side Of Paradise

Watching now. :)

Re: TOS On MeTV?
 

I try to catch it on MeTV whenever I can. I also try to watch COLUMBO every Sunday night at 8:00 if at all possible. The editing on the MeTV episodes is typical for stations in this day and age(choppy edits and six minutes missing from each episode)but it's the only place I can find TOS at the moment and probably for the forseeable future... unless SyFy or syndicated stations get a new broadcast deal from CBS/Paramount.

Watched with my girlfriend last night, and again I had to explain all the cuts to her. We had just the barest glimpse of Kirk looking at a single medal in his quarters, and she didn't understand at all why he then got so angry in the transporter room, immediately afterward.
