View Full Version : New "Vision channel" with great oldies
A new channel on DISH Networks channel #223 has some great old sitcoms like "Dobie", "Ozzie & Harriet" & "Love that Bob". It's only a part-time channel but still, it could give TV Land a pain in the butt. I wish more programmers would look at some of those shows.
ClassicTV4Ever 06-12-2002, 07:58 AM GoodLife TV also shows some great oldies as well :)
dawsongirl 06-12-2002, 09:42 PM Are you kidding???? When are they on? There's nothing on the program guide. Right now some guys are fishing.
The Vision channel shares the channel with a business to business feed, in fact I think Vision sub-leases the feed from this business group when the latter is not using it (when the business group is using it DISH Network locks it out and says its OFF THE AIR) . The best time to find programming on Vision is during the non-business hours. BTW where is "Goodlife" ?

DISH doesn't have it. :(
ClassicComedyFan2 06-13-2002, 09:06 AM So, when it says "Off Air", the classics are on?

Wow, that's pretty weird. Direct TV has everything else, LOL. Here it's on my digital cable service (I just recently broke down and talked my mom into getting digital two weeks ago), and GoodLife shows a lot of old shows like Ozzie and Harriet, Make Room For Daddy, Highway To Heaven, 77 Sunset Strip, and My Sister Sam. You should definitely contact Direct TV and request this channel :)

I did, and they sent me some dumb form letter. They seem more interested in giving us shopping channels. :p

Nope. The dish won't even let you into the channel until 4pm Central.
I have Goodlife! They have My Sister Sam, The Jimmy Stewart Show, Make Room for Daddy, Ozzie and Harriet, Getting By, Tony Orlando and Dawn, Jimmy Durante Presents the Lennon Sisters, Diamonds, Mayberry RFD, The New Dick Van Dyke Show, The Leslie Uggams Show, Finder of Lost Loves, The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, 77 Sunset Street, Homefront, The Loretta Young Show, Combat!, Highway to Heaven, The FBI, The Gallant Men, and MANY MANY others. Goodlife is on of the best TV channels ever! (Their Sunday night lineup rocks!)
dawsongirl 06-13-2002, 05:45 PM I'm watching Vision TV right now and it's cool. Dobie Gillis was on at 4pm (central) and Ozzie and Harriet is on right now. :)
Still wish I had Goodlife. :(

We must have the same cable company. You get shopping channels, and I get shopping channels and spanish channels. lol
If anyone has the web or email address for Goodlife please post it here, Thanks.

Is there a website for Vision too? I'd love to see their programming lineup. We have a Vision TV channel in Canada too---and it stinks!
dawsongirl 06-15-2002, 10:31 PM I found the website for the Canadian Vision channel and I agree...it must stink (unless you like religious programming). But I didn't find one for this other Vision.
I have found a website for the new Vision Channel. You can read all about it at
www.thevisionchannel.com
The best part of this new channel (only available in the US. Rats!) is their afternoon lineup which reads like this:
5:00 Dobie Gillis
5:30 Ozzie & Harriet
6:00 Love That Bob/The Bob Cummings Show
6:30 You Bet Your Life
I'm now trying to find a way to see if I can receive these great shows online. According to the network staff, the best way is through a site called CoolCast.com. I'll try it next week and see how it works out.
dawsongirl 06-28-2002, 06:21 PM Sweet! Thanks for the info!
