  1. My cable guide said 8 pm (CT), but Me-TV's online schedule doesn't show it. Maybe my cable slipped back in time? I wish they would pick it up again, if they didn't.
  2. Me-TV has "77 Sunset Strip" on their schedule tonight 1/5/2013
  3. I noticed on my cable schedule that Me-TV is running "77 Sunset Strip" tonight. Although their online schedule doesn't show it.
  4. I've been watching "The Fugitive" which runs once a week and I'm finally almost done with it. Its been a long trip. Maybe they could cut back on all their showings of "Gunsmoke" and show "Wild Wild West" once a weeknight.

  9. Currently my favorite pizza chain is Jet's, they do a Detroit-style pizza that is very good.
  10. This afternoon TCM is running "House of Dark Shadows" a nice bit of nostalgia for those who watched the soap opera daily (though without all those bloopers on the TV show).
  11. I like that Missy is finally getting more screen time. It looks like next week we'll see her working at the comic book shop.
  12. Saw a Walmart Christmas ad. Wait for Halloween to be over at least!

  17. Today is Hammer horror day on TCM.
  18. What's the deal with all these ads for "As Seen on TV" products that close with the statement that the products aren't going to be made any more? Oh God, if that was only true!
  19. Rube Tube: CBS and Rural Comedy in the Sixties Sara K. Eskridge ISBN: 9780826222626 Historian Sara Eskridge examines television’s rural comedy boom in the 1960s and the political, social, and economic factors that made these shows a perfect fit for CBS. The network, nicknamed the Communist Broadcasting System during the Red Scare of the 1940s, saw its image hurt again in the 1950s with the quiz show scandals and a campaign against violence in westerns. When a rival network introduced rural-themed programs to cater to the growing southern market, CBS latched onto the trend and soon reestablished itself as the Country Broadcasting System. Its rural comedies dominated the ratings throughout the decade, attracting viewers from all parts of the country. With fascinating discussions of The Andy Griffith Show, The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, and other shows, Eskridge reveals how the southern image was used to both entertain and reassure Americans in the turbulent 1960s.
  20. I'd suggest trying to watch "The Phantom of the Open Hearth" (1976) for a good movie about the "Parker" family.
