roseha May 11, 2022 Share May 11, 2022 (edited) Speaking of one-season shows, I really enjoyed The Good Guys with Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks. Whitford's senior agent was caught in his past "glory days" and there was entertaining use of music, one episode even using the Stones' version of "You Can't Always Get What You Want"! (which would never be allowed in syndication I suspect, if the show had lasted that long) I see the show is on Prime, I still have one three episodes I purchased. Edited May 12, 2022 by roseha Have 3 eps of the show. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61546-retro-tv-channels-%E2%80%9Dthe-good-old-days-of-television%E2%80%9D/page/34/#findComment-7448653

Jaded May 14, 2022 Share May 14, 2022 For being a Sony Network getTV must try to save money by purchasing the most inexpensive to them packages they can in regards to some of the shows they air. I've seen Charlie's Angels rebroadcast on many channels over the years and the quality of the episodes getTV airs are pretty bad. That's not the case for all the series that I occasionally watch that they happen to air. getTV was added to the YouTubeTV lineup awhile back. They also have COZI which I didn't have access to when I had Uverse. I lost MeTV and Antenna TV though after cancelling Uverse. I'm home all the time so having access to "regular TV" is kind of a comfort thing.

Presumably it will be back in the fall when the Sunday blocks end but it didn't need to be taken off because the marathons don't overlap it but the pushed Full House into its slot. MeTVs Sunday programming has been crap for a while now. Insipid Gilligan's Island for hours on end, Full House, Monk, MASH that already airs endlessly throughout the week. The whole day is a waste right now unless they marathon is something interesting, which doesn't look likely. "Monk" plays on about three other retro channels as does "Full House." Actually, since I've started rewatching "MASH" I don't mind, but there are only about 6-7 shows left of the final season for me to watch. There are so many shows that either aren't on or play only once or twice a week, I don't see the need to binge these much broadcast series. 7 hours ago, SVNBob said: Given that CBS has "The Real Love Boat" starting in the fall, there might be a rights issue involved in this matter.

If this is “real” then what was what we were watching all these years? Not real? 🤣🤣. I guess it’s their way of naming it to not get it confused with the original but it’s from so long ago it might not make a difference? I watched the original back in the day so it could be interesting to see who would show up on this version. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61546-retro-tv-channels-%E2%80%9Dthe-good-old-days-of-television%E2%80%9D/page/34/#findComment-7506921

I guess you'd have to wait for "Celebrity Real Love Boat" if you want to see b-listers and washed-up "stars" on the show. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61546-retro-tv-channels-%E2%80%9Dthe-good-old-days-of-television%E2%80%9D/page/34/#findComment-7506962
Tom Holmberg June 20, 2022 Share June 20, 2022 The music continues. Unfortunately there were a lot of better songs in 1969 than most of these (I wonder if by 1969 Ed didn't want to deal with most of the popular bands, who probably looked down on the show anyway. Top Hits Of 1969 (s1, ep14) Smith - "Baby It's You"; Oliver - "Jean"; Brooklyn Bridge - "Worst That Could Happen"; The 5th Dimension - "Aquarius/Let The Sun Shine In"; Creedence Clearwater Revival - "Proud Mary".

Thinking about this more, I wonder if Charo from the original Love Boat will make an appearance 🤣 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61546-retro-tv-channels-%E2%80%9Dthe-good-old-days-of-television%E2%80%9D/page/34/#findComment-7515243

Maybe she could fall in love with Jimmie J.J.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll sign up for a 7-day free trial on Frndly to see TWWW (even though I have the series on DVD 😁). I lost Decades a few years ago.
