Katz has acquired the rights to Law and Order and Boston Legal for its diginet Escape. It has also acquired the rights to According to Jim for LAFF. Along with Bounce getting the rights to Scandal. They are turning in more like cable channels https://tvnewscheck.com/article/more-news/225711/katz-nets-adding-3-off-net-series/

Hoping they air According to Jim in the middle of the night or at a time where no person with the right mind has to watch that garbage.

I wish Escape had gotten the rights to The Practice instead of lousy Boston Legal. The parent show (seasons 1-7) is one of the best 90s dramas but rarely airs any more, hasn't aired on a broadcast network in a long time and Ovation is not part of my cable package. Hopefully Without a Trace doesn't start to get pushed aside with the new pickups and they reduce the reality shows instead.

Usually I don't agree with you, but I agree with you on Escape picking up Boston Legal instead of The Practice. Boston Legal was just way too goofy compared to The Practice.

It would be nice to see some new shows being added. When was the last time that The Practice was on TV?

I wish Laff would add Empty Nest back and get Blossom.

Hulu's better for the classic TV shows than Netflix, IMO.

Sounds that way, because it seems like Netflix doesn't have a lot of old TV shows.

Welp. Here's to hoping they one day bring back Ellen or A Different World.

A Different World is on BET Her.

I don't have cable. I've been watching the show on Dailymotion, but I think episodes are starting to get taken down from the site because of copyright.

I'm not surprised by that at all, because they are known for doing that a lot.

I did find the show on Amazon though:

Eh, some shows manage to stay on Dailymotion for a long time. They seem to be more lax compared to Youtube.

Didn't know the show was on Prime Video. Thanks.

I wish I had Escape for Without a Trace because the DVDs are really overpriced.

What the heck is Escape? I don't even know if I have that one. lolIt is one of the diginet broadcast networks on subchannels OTA if your area has an affiliate. Without a Trace is currently their only scripted show, it airs in great slots Monday-Friday 9PM-midnight, Sunday nights 9PM-2AM, and Monday-Friday from 10AM-12PM. The rest of their lineup is true crime shows like Forensic Files, Corrupt Crimes, and FBI Files. They also have some movies on weekends. It could be buried somewhere on your cable system, the number for it in my area is channel 1188. just underneath my Antenna TV station on channel 1181.

Wow. that's a low number. My Antenna tv station is 247. lol I'll have to look for it. We have so many channels that I don't pay attention to I don't know what I have.
