RFD = Rural Free Delivery. US mail designation.
I remember that show from back in the ‘80s. Great reporting.
I leave it on most of the day.
Railroads and Locomotives airs on Mondays. Lot of old film of bygone lines and trains.
20th Century Limited was featured couple of weeks ago.
Great programs from steam to diesel for Ferro-equinologists!
Even as recently as the ‘90s, one of the FEW stations that Rush allowed to broadcast on 1/2 hour delay was WISN in Milwaukee, Wasconsin. They HAD To do their farm reports on schedule. I imagine now it’s all on-line as is as pertinent as the old newspaper stock listings.
ConservaTeen and I are ferro-equinologists. (To those in Rio Linda, forget it, no one is on FR from there!)
NP. Hobbs was snarfin em down waitin for Ignatz n Krazy Kat too.
“I can’t get it here.”.......
Glad we have it here in central Wisconsin. I would gladly dump all the “garbage shows” forced upon we subscribers so that we can/will continue to have RFD TV. RFD TV programs are clean, decent, wholesome, educational, etc. which is more than I can say for a host of the garbage that is on the boob tube.
I remember well, growing up in Reedsburg, WI in the 50s, listening to the local AM radio station in the morning, while Mom made me breakfast before school. I never figured out what “canners” and “cutters” were, but it is a link to my roots and to a kinder and gentler time.
Ignatz and Krazy Kat. I had forgotten that classic existed. Thank you for jogging the memory.
LOVE RFDTV, we record Whispering Bill Anderson’s Country’s Family Reunion, Larry’s Country Dinner, Gaither’s, and a few more of the music shows.
Haven’t watched TV in over a decade but I still fondly remember RFD-TV. Liked the Hee-Haw reruns and the Cajun cooking lady among other things.
Do you know what folks in N Carolina call turkeys?
Turkeys you numbskull.
Grades of cull cows. Following has a number of other terms. Not he least of which is 'boners'. Now the price of boners would have been awesome as a kid.
