just found a new nostalgia station on D*SH...

[samnsara]

..channel 218 called FOLK. Has anyone heard of it and how long has it been on? Has NO guide but so far I've watched Red Skeleton, a bunch of old TIDE commercials, and now The Prisoner.

OMG I didn't realize The Prisoner was so old...in b/w!



maybe I'm the one that's old

1. Hey, I have Dish and I will take a look.

Some of those old programs are wonderful...and I saw them when they were new!!!

[samnsara]

7. me too but i didnt care for some that Im finding enjoyable now...

....i hated Bewitched because the Darrens were chauvinist pigs but im enjoying it now. I see Samantha's real magic was getting this stuff past her dimwitted husband.

8. I think I might have been too young to understand some of them!

I have a day without something to do tomorrow, and I may become a mega couch potato and watch the tube!

2. Annie Oakley will be on ....

FOLK

3. I don't get 218 on my Dish but METV on 247 has some real 60's, and 70's shows.

[samnsara]

5. Yes they do! i have most the nostalgia channels memorized..

..ANYTHING to get the taste of trump out of my mouth. I know the satellites dont have the same programming. My mom had D*SH and her package contained local stuff and mine contained Seattle stuff. Try Channels 82 'Father Knows Best' at 6 am Pacific followed by Hazel and others.. Channels 106, 254, 257, 259 are good ones. Of course most are religious channels so theres some preachy stuff and the INSP channel hawks Trumpy Bear...but gawd anything is better than 24/7 trump trash.


I also get MeTv east and west so I get to watch it twice..lucky me

another option for a mental health break is PLUTO tv. Its a free internet channel so you need ROKU or something. They have many nostalgia channels, also they have a MST3000 channel! Im actually enjoying Dennis the Menace now..and the Dick Van Dyke marathons they have.

4. Red Skelton would be fun to watch now.

I get Antenna TV, Grit TV (not Laura Flanders but lots of Westerns), and METV on regular broadcast stations. I found a channel called H and I, which stands for Heroes and Icons. They start each evening with Star Trek, TOS, then Next Generation, DS 9, Voyager, and Enterprise.

[samnsara]

6. oh Im going to look for that H and I channel!..

....is Antenna Tv a station?

[samnsara]

9. update..its not The Prisoner..but another British spy/futuristic...

...tv show called Secret Agent with with the same guy...and a full 2 years before he became The Prisoner (and apparently after he was Danger man?)..Patrick McGoohan..?
