Well, with my business destroyed, broadcast tv is all we can afford @ present. Maybe for the rest of my life, at this rate. Mostly I just watch it for local news. Luckily, the “sub” channels have some good old programs & movies - more than I have time for anyway, really.

Cancelled due to virus lockdown.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yes the world has changed.

I bet some younger people here don’t know what you mean by VHF channels.

[Bonemaker]

I’m an 80 year old kid and this pisses me off. The ongoing destruction of Americana by democrats.

[kevao]

It’s because the Peanuts gang — yes, even Franklin! — were White Supremacists.

[Midwesterner53]

More of the same for this disaster of a year. Can 2020 end any faster?

When the DVD came out, I discovered that the TV telecast had been cut; probably because there are more commercials in a 30-minute broadcast than there were in the 60’s.

Yup. More commercials.

Pluto TV is a mixed bag.

I have indulged some classic Dr. Who the past few nights.

The Sunmakers and Underworld were on recently.

In that climactic scene when Linus shares "what Christmas is all about," he drops his security blanket...Most telling is the specific moment he drops it: when he utters the words, "fear not" (at :39 seconds).

Calm down karen

I miss the old fashioned independent TV stations.

Before it became a Fox affiliate, WHNS 21 in the GSP area ran all kinds of things, especially oddball movies and obscure series.

I discovered Robotech courtesy of a long gone WAXA TV 40.

Good ole Linus.

I never understood the whole Marcie and sir thing regarding Peppermint Patty.

The jazz soundtrack by the Vince Guaraldi Trio.

That is the best!

Some of us understand the Marxist deconstruction of a culture.

Others have their head planted up their ass.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Totally agree with you on Yvonne Craig (RIP). Did she rock that bikini or what?

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Oh yes. Moving lame Charlie Brown specials to Apple TV is the same as Marxist. How much paint have you huffed tonight?

[Republican Wildcat]

Nobody watches network television anymore.

Is that really true? Antenna sales have been surging in recent years and more and more channels continue to become available over the air as more people realize you don't have to pay for television at all.

[diatomite]

Oh yes, Batgirl and the green-skinned Orion slave girl Marta.

[TianaHighrider]

Same here. Don’t know the author but it really struck me. Saved a copy from yours!

[napscoordinator]

Nobody watches network tv anymore. It’s too expensive to run these when everyone has copies of their own. No need to show them.
