Too much The Munsters on Universal Monsters channel

To whom it may concern,

My wife and I are grateful that Roku has dedicated a Live TV channel to the Universal Monster classics. We were beside ourselves with excitement when we discovered the channel last October, and each week since we have repeatedly watched our favorite movies religiously, shunning other forms of entertainment and blocking out hours each week to watch the five Abbott & Costello movies, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, and so on. Though we own these films on physical media, we specifically enjoy looking forward to watching these on a predictable programming schedule. 
 
However, at the beginning of October this year, the Universal Monsters channel schedule was lamentably adjusted. Not only did the updated schedule include a new sequence of banal 21st century horror movies, but it also includes a mind-numbingly repetitive daily stream of episodes of The Munsters that plays for nearly ten straight hours from the early afternoon through the prime time slots and past midnight. This has simultaneously upset our viewing routine and scheduled our very favorite films during the small hours of the night when all decent folk are asleep. The uninspired horror films of the new millennium are an unfortunate addition to the schedule, but will there ever be an end to the brutally relentless onslaught of The Munsters episodes? 
 
Exasperatedly yours,
 
Jos. Morrison

Please stop ruining a wonderful channel with all this Munsters nonsense day after day, week after week.  It wasn't that funny back in the day!

Re: Too much The Munsters on Universal Monsters channel

Please stop with the back to back to back to back,,,,,,, episodes of the Munsters. There were only 70 episodes produced so they've been played ad nauseum.

I miss having a classic monster movie to watch in the evenings. Please end this.

Re: Too much The Munsters on Universal Monsters channel

Roku is not responsible for the content. That is up to Universal. The channel is just like cable, where they just pass through what is given to them.

It is also available on Pluto TV.

I feel exactly the same way and is why I sought a forum to express myself. I thought it might be for Halloween and would have ended by now. I haven’t watched since the munsters marathons began. I want old school monsters just like the ones you mentioned in your post. Stop playing the munsters and go back to regular programming. I miss Abbott and Costello at a predictable pace.

Thank you sir for the information. We have given up hope that the channel will return to its original format so we have moved on to greener pastures. I guess that's what we get for liking something.
