Most areas have local UHF or some WB stations that air old sitcoms in the day time, or cable/satellite channels available only in some markets

and they air different old shows

some have FACTS OF LIFE or EIGHT IS ENOUGH or such


why dont u check out the stations that you have and post what is on here--- that way if u have a show airing that someone wants, maybe a deal to tape it can be worked out??? JUST AN IDEA

we got M*A*S*H and most of the ones TVResearcher said. My WB used to play a good amount of classics like The Monkees and the Twilight Zone. Never anything that rare though.

there was a seller on Ioffer selling MORK AND MINDY complete BUT
he failed to deliver on multiple occasions to multiple buyers

it was sold in Oct, Dec and Jan and all who bought it had to ask for a refund via pay pal
BECAUSE he said his "distributor" was out of stock and was late in shipping

he "claims" he moved almost 200 sets of Mork over christmas, BUT I checked with those who also bought it on ioffer, and he had to refund to them also, SO I DO NOT KNOW IF HE WILL EVER GET IT IN OR NOT, he seemed like nice guy and he did refund everyone as far as i know, BUT since October, he has been having to refund people, EVEN THOUGH he moved 200 sets in December?? hmmmmmmm

ANYHOW, Beavis, if u can get it WE WILL ALL LOVE YOU!!! :wave: (but not in a homosexual way--- rudy from surivovor)

This may be one area where the merger of UPN and WB to make CW will benefit us - in markets where you've got both networks, one of the channels may be cut loose (unless it's signed on by MyNetwork), and perhaps we'll see more independent programming.

I need to check the local programming available in the Philly/Allentown area. I know The Fugitive's been running locally, but I also know that Padre recently finished a complete set, so I don't feel the need to duplicate his work. I used to have a lot more great stuff running, but 2 of the 3 independents in my area suddenly switched to 24-hour religious programming.

But it's also worthwhile to look at some of the more obscure cable/dish channels to see what they've got I noticed that Wisdom is running Ed Stone is Dead, which isn't a classic, but a fairly recent UK comedy that hasn't run anywhere else in the US that I'm aware. I need to spend some time really studying listings of channels I don't normally watch - there could be some gems hidden away ...
