Thanks Cobb Salad, I said this back on TWOP (I think), but The Fugitive, in addition to being a great noir, gloomy series, made tremendous use of the episodic nature of television, and it had a lot of really great episodes. I do regret ABC switched it over to color at the end (almost inevitable at the time); it was a great show for the black and white look.

Wow, thanks Collinwood. You have sharp eyes, I finally found that tiny icon after scrolling down four webpages' worth. CBS has got to redesign that website. Anyway will look out for the future days - I missed The Fugitive this tiime around but hope to see it again soon.

Can someone just bring back the oriiginal Iron Chef? For a while it was on Cooking Channel but I don't think it's shown anywhere now. I especially liked it when they subtitled Kaga's part out of respect for his great voice.

I agree, remember the commercial with the giant Cheeze Puff or whatever it was? After Stephen made fun of it on the air, I never saw that commercial again. I still laugh thinking about Viacom's letter asking him not to start up the Super Pac, and his reading it on the air: "Please do not read this on the air" Ha!

I've only just located the official webpage for Decades here: http://www.decades.com/#tunein-section and nowhere can I find any listings for programming beyond the current day. and really, after all this buildup I would at least expect some kind of consistency in the programming. Today, for instance they are showing the film of Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant, and a report on Agent Orange use in Vietnam with...half a dozen episodes of the Mary Tyler Moore Show? Huh? Maybe when I get a chance to see some of this I will like it better, but my love of 60s culture doesn't extend to the Beverly Hillbilllies or Hogan's Heroes...I hope the "Binge" on weekends will be good, I just wish I could find listings for it.

On further thought, the idea of square wheels on strollers sounds especially scary. I remember an episode of Mythbusters in which Adam and Jamie tested a square wheeled vehicle and came to the conclusion that it was not an improvement.

Yes, Lori wearing the cap with 80 percent of her hair outside was absurd. I guess bikini guy will be the only failure they show, but I wonder why he didn't try to fix his website rather than move on to - what was it, two other businesses?

I agree, especially the wheel guys and the "Sway" guy, but, that said, I like that someone asked Sway guy if his invention would be considered legal and he said "in California" (and the EU?). I have a feeling that neither Sway nor the recent Air Car would be allowed in New York state. We can't even legally ride electric bikes here.

Yes, Wendy I do miss having access to LO:CI reruns on USA (they're on ION sometimes of course) but other than that....USA used to be a channel I enjoyed but really its new shows don't look that interesting anymore. By the way I have Time Warner here in NYC but their idea of basic cable is just pretty much whatever you potentially could get with an antenna (in a perfect world!), plus some public television and their local news, NY1. I think a lot of people stick with TW mainly to get internet here.

I have to admit, since I've downgraded to basic cable I really haven't missed this channel at all...doesn't bode well for their programs.

I did too. I also feel the show is missing something when he's not on. His personality adds a lot to the show.

I have heard Lori on the radio advertising some local (I think) company out here on the East Coast, though I couldn't pay enough attention to remember anything about it.

I watched Conan the other week on vacation a little, and the only thing that occurs to me is that he seems to be continually dumbing himself down for his perceived audience. He's over 50 now, I don't think he needs to work at appealing to teenagers any more. He's obviously a very smart guy, so if he hates gaming, for instance, why do segments on it? Maybe if he went with his instincts more often things would improve. That said, it's also too bad he didn't stay in New York, as others have done, but maybe he should be on the lookout for more oddball guests out west.

Me too, I love Alfredo!

Great, as I mentioned elsewhere, I am a little worried this week's season finale may be a cliff hanger, and I would have hated it if they had ended the show that way!

Thanks Athena, I hope the show will be renewed, personally I wouldn't mind another night, though I agree with the poster who said 10pm is a little late considering the involved plots the show sometimes comes up with! Maybe 9pm would be better, if possible.

Not to speculate too much, but has the show been officially renewed? Just wondering if this will turn out to be a cliffhanger (personally I hope not...)

Now this whole killing off thing has turned into a guessing game, I hate it...these writers are insane to mess with the number one show this way :( I would love it if the "loss" turned out to be a put-on, like the last episode of .

I agree, this episode felt unusually violent to me. I was very grateful for the Alfredo subplot to provide some relief, even though the issue of friendship between him and Sherlock was a serious one.

I saw it! with the creepy garage ("do not enter. I will be back tonite"), the car theft and all that, that was something else! I only wished they'd used Izzy on this episode. His reactions would have been priceless.

I love watching Perry Mason too, especially the noirish-retro early ones! But I think they are editing the episodes more lately. Unless I am remembering from the DVDs, which is possible. I remember one episode where Perry deduces the culprit from a book he sees in the man's room, but the actual scene was cut when I last saw it.

This season was my first watching the show - previously I had been working at night and had seen almost no prime time shows for a long time - and I actually tuned in to the first episode based on the previews and then tuned out because Watson seemed so angry at Holmes and it didn't have the sense of partnership I had hoped to see. Now of course they have gradually come back to that. I think as long as they keep that focus on the main characters the show should have a strong following, granted the case is not always exciting but it's often about an intellectually challenging subject so at least I feel that part of it will keep my interest while I wait for the best scenes among the regular cast, which is a long way of saying I think it will have enough of an audience to get renewed.

I totally agree, I know this is a show about a dangerous profession, but it's still a show, and the constant killing off is not only awful to watch, it reduces the number of characters and upcoming story lines as we've been discussing here lately. Maybe new writing/producing staff is the way to go, I agree. It's also hard to watch a show when there is so much violence.

Thanks much Wendy, I will check the listings for MyNetwork, second season sounds good! Great to catch up with all this info!

Thanks for your posts elsewhere everyone, I am amazed to see what an active Facebook page VDO has! What fun! Didn't realize the show had gone off ION, I have downgraded my cable at the moment but will see where it pops up :)
