[Vision]

Good evening from sunny Baltimore. Quite a busy weekend and tonight's lineup seems the same. Never heard of Aldrich Family. The ending Escape episode can't be right as it was run a few weeks ago.

How is everyone?

Hello, Vision and FRiends!

So, we don't know what's airing in the last hour, because of the Escape mistake--surely a mistake. And the "Lone Ranger" episode sounds like the one we heard last week.
