shapeshifter September 13, 2023 Share September 13, 2023 Am I the only one watching 1960s Ironside on GET TV? This is my first time watching. I just saw 2.4 "The Sacrifice," first aired Oct 3, 1968, the only Ironside episode written by Gerald Sanford — about whom I don’t see much online. The episode descriptions just note: Quote Mark's eyewitness account casts suspicion of murder on a veteran police detective. When his alibi is disproved by Ironside, the sergeant stops at nothing to find someone who will confess to the crime. imdb.com/title/tt0612492/plotsummary and: Quote A policeman friend of Ironside and the team is the prime suspect in a murder investigation. Is he really guilty, though, or is the evidence just a little too damning? themoviedb.org/tv/4582-ironside/season/2/episode/4 But Spoiler the the murder victim was killed because he had performed an abortion that caused a patient’s death; he was part of a so-called national ring performing illegal abortions. The dead patient was the daughter of the accused murderer, who was a police friend of Ironside’s. The real murderer was the son of Ironside’s police friend. I am confused about what the agenda or viewpoint was of the writer, and can’t find any discussion on Reddit or Moviechat.org or anywhere. 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/40/#findComment-8140539

The episode I mentioned (Ironside 2.4 "The Sacrifice"), first aired Oct 3, 1968, script by Gerald Sanford) is also available here: https://archive.org/details/ironsides02/Ironside+S02e03+The+Sacrifice.mpeg4 I was 15 then. The episode has (to me) a weird take on abortion, even for that time. Right now I’m watching another Ironside episode, also Season 2, “Split Second to an Epitaph,” in which Spoiler a minor side-plot has a similarly weird (to me) focus on a social issue of the 1960s (marriage), which winds up having to do with the legalities of child custody of an orphaned newborn, pre-DNA paternity testing. But like with the abortion story in the following episode, it’s not clear if the message is pro-conservative about social issues, or demonstrating the legal cruelties incurred by not conforming to conservative social morés (marriage, in the episode), or something more complex.🤷🏻♀️ Anyway, if you don’t have GetTV, the Internet Archive has at least these seasons of Ironside: archive.org/details/ironsideS01 archive.org/details/ironsides02 archive.org/details/ironsideS03 archive.org/details/ironsideS04 archive.org/details/ironside-season7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61546-retro-tv-channels-%E2%80%9Dthe-good-old-days-of-television%E2%80%9D/page/40/#findComment-8141455

I too always use closed captioning, and was surprised to see at about the 45 minute mark on both FreeVee and Pluto: [VYACHESLAV GERZNOV] She never told me about this bullshit Dorrow which was a miss-translation for: [VYACHESLAV GERZNOV] She never told me about this Bolshevik Dorrow Character Gerznov was played by Russian émigré and character actor Leonid Kinskey, whose accent may have confused the transcriber (human or machine) and/or "Bolshevik" was not in the word list used by the transcriber.

Considering how many episodes were made, they keep showing the same handful every weekend. There was some OTA station out of Chicago that used to show only 2 or 3 seasons out of 5 or 6 season shows, including The Listener and Numb3rs. It really bugged me. But then, in the last year or so, when another station here out of Rochester NY started showing the episodes I'd missed, I felt like I'd hit the jackpot. 😆🤣 Anyway, yes, it is weird. And annoying. Maybe whatever entity owns the rights gives the OTA station a big price break on a limited number of episodes in hopes that they'll decide there are enough viewers to warrant buying the whole package? So, @chessiegal, since Nichols and Bret Maverick are only one season each, if they only got partial access, that could be just "a handful" of episodes. 🫤 It looks like the entire season of Bret Maverick is available for free on Tubi, which is available as an app on a Roku TV, or at tubitv.com.

chessiegal December 5, 2023 Share December 5, 2023 Well crap. I got an email from Verizon saying they are having a dispute with Hearst over pricing, and if they don't come to an agreement by December 8 I'll be losing MeTV. 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/40/#findComment-8231863

Checking, they are running "Alias Smith & Jones" late nights Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I guess its better than nothing. 20 hours ago, chessiegal said: Well crap.

We lost the cable version of local channel WGN (an over-the-air station) for more than a month over one of these pricing disputes. 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/40/#findComment-8232874
chessiegal December 6, 2023 Share December 6, 2023 We used to get 2 MeTV channels, one out of DC and our current channel out of Baltimore. We lost the DC channel several years ago because of a pricing dispute. That sucks because the Baltimore MeTV doesn't air all the MeTV content, including Ed Sullivan.

chessiegal December 8, 2023 Share December 8, 2023 Fingers crossed - it's December 8 and we still have MeTV. I hope that means Verizon's dispute with Hearst is over. 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/40/#findComment-8235089
