Sandman87 December 30, 2014 Share December 30, 2014 I so envy you roseha. I wish I had Retro TV. I read that Retro is showing the old soap opera The Doctors. I remember the last few years of that soap and would love to see some of the early episodes. They're running it just after Doctor Who, so I've seen the beginning a few times now. They even show the original lead-in to it - A very mellow announcer voice (almost no treble) saying "The following program is brought to you in living color on NBC!" while they show the old version of the NBC peacock logo. Ah, the good old days, when they made a big deal about it if a show was in color. Here's the web page Retro put up for the show with their promo. The promo says noon, but the show is also on at 9 pm. 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/4/#findComment-684193

Maverick December 31, 2014 Share December 31, 2014 Logo, like many other cable networks (Syfy, TLC, A&E) has steadily been increasing programming that has nothing to do with the original intent of the channel. Most of these "niche" channels don't bring in big ratings, so they all look for what'll will pay the bills. It sad in that one of the big draws of cable was the ability to have virtually unlimited channels that could offer programming for specific interests and they all end up being pretty much the same. As to Who's the Boss, Danny was actually doing commercials between episodes (the one I saw had him talking about how he may or may not have kept the prop calendar of Tony in nothing but a red apron) so yes they are trying to make a connection there. 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/4/#findComment-686385

(Maverick can be purchased on a by-episode basis from ABC's stock of on-demand shows - on iTunes for instance - but at $2 per episode it's a bit rich for my blood.) MeTV does have a Saturday afternoon block of Westerns though - they're currently showing Wanted: Dead or Alive with Steve McQueen, among others. Along those lines, it's occurred to me that now that rights owners have opted to sell so many of their movie and TV properties via in-demand -- which accounts for the wasteland that cable TV is these days -- we actually do have the "a la carte" pricing that people have always wanted, except viewers have to pay through the nose to 10 different stakeholders rather than just one (the cable company). I wish that MeTV would have a dedicated sci-fi block though... something more focused than the stuff they play on Saturday nights. I'd love to see Space: 1999 again.

BigDfromLA January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 Season Two of "Miami Vice" was outstanding. The Phil Collins episode and the one with Frank Zappa were excellent. So was the one with the female prostitute killer who left drawings at the crime scene. Another great episode had basketball legend Bill Russell as a crooked judge with a gambling debt. Bernard King played his son and Michael Richards from Seinfeld was the sleazy villain. The season ended dramatically with Calderon's son getting revenge on Tubbs by killing his lover and taking his infant son.

ennui January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 "digital terrestrial television stations" -- as opposed to the extra-terrestrial (alien) stations? 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/4/#findComment-698693
Jipijapa January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 I think "terrestrial" is a Briticism for "broadcast" (as opposed to satellite). Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61546-retro-tv-channels-%E2%80%9Dthe-good-old-days-of-television%E2%80%9D/page/4/#findComment-699037
Milz January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 (edited) NEWHART (the one as an innkeeper in Vermont) also coming to Antenna Jan. 5. Ahh...so they're showing Bob's nightmare. The final episode of Newhart is one of my favorite finals, btw. A&E is the one that makes me sad. I was upset when they dropped Longmire. Todays MeTV trivia. Did you know that Chris Pine (Star Trek 2009) is the son of Robert Pine (CHiPs)? Now that I know that, I can see the resemblance. Last night I saw the Lucy Show (or is it " Here's Lucy" whatever) on COZI. Totally blew my mind how Desi Arnaz Jr. looked so much like Desi Sr. at certain angles. I can't imagine the pressure Desi Jr and Lucie had doing that show with their mom. Good thing the internet wasn't around then because I could just imagine the negative posts about their acting and timing (not that there was anything wrong with either, imo.)

Cobb Salad January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 Desi Arnaz Jr played Desi Sr. in the movie The Mambo Kings years ago so there you go. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61546-retro-tv-channels-%E2%80%9Dthe-good-old-days-of-television%E2%80%9D/page/4/#findComment-699495
DXD526 January 7, 2015 Share January 7, 2015 A big BOO to Cozi for cutting off the closing credits on Adam-12. Half the fun of watching these old shows is spotting guest actors and trying to remember their names. But not being able to check the end credits for answers because those end credits are entirely cut? BOO. Get your act together, Cozi. 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/4/#findComment-701048
