I wish I could have, but I unfortunately left the 4th of January so never got to see a glimpe of it. I really wanted to see L&S and One Day at a Time.

I wish I had it! I want to see One Day at a Time because it looks good. I wish I could see Maude and Laverne & Shirley again. *le sigh*

I just looked up the ME-TV schedule and it looks like this:


8:30 AM (Chicago Time) I LOVE LUCY
9:00 PERRY MASON
10:00 THE UNTOUCHABLES
11:00 THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO
12:00 HONEYMOONERS
12:30 JACK BENNY
1:00 CAROL BURNETT
1:30 MAUDE
2:00 I LOVE LUCY
2:30 ONE DAY AT A TIME
3:00 LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY

All I can say is...way to go, Chicago! Their hockey team stinks but at least they know good TV when they see it.

I'd like to know if other local stations out there in Canada and the US offer a similar 'retro' package and what they're showing. I hope this format is a success for WFBT and it can start a trend that can possibly reach across the rest of North America. It has to be better than what many stations now foolishly call entertainment (like TNN, to give you an obvious example). In the meantime, I'll cross my fingers and wait until there's a similar package in my area. I can hardly wait!
