In recent years, when May rolled around, MeTV did “The Month of Mayberry,” featuring The Andy Griffith Show, Gomer Pyle and other series with a connection to Mayberry. 

Last year, MeTV celebrated the 50th anniversary of M*A*S*H with a marathon of cast member Jamie Farr’s favorite episodes, along with commentary from Farr. He played Corporal Klinger on the show.
