For those who are lucky enough to live in the Hamiliton/Toronto/Buffalo, NY area, and have access to CHTV (http://www.canada.com/hamilton/chtv/tvlistings.asp?startday=01%2F03%2F04&starthour=11&category=&goButton=GO) in Hamilton, can get a FREE preview every Saturday of their DejaView (http://www.canada.com/entertainment/tvchannels/dejaview/index.html) digital cable channel.
Some shows that are aired on CHTV are:
Bewitched
I Dream of Jeannie
Gilligan's Island
The A-Team
Check their listings. Their schedule varys, and those shows are not necessary aired every weekend.
I watch those shows every weekend, too, along with the PRIME ones as well, although I don't believe "Gilligan's Island" is still on CH any more. "Bewitched" is on every Saturday at 11:00 and 11:30 am and "I Dream Of Jeannie" airs every Sunday at 1:00 and 1:30 pm. CH will soon be your only cable option for watching "Bewitched" since, as of next Monday, it will no longer air on PRIME. It will be replaced by "The Beverly Hillbillies" which is fine but "Bewitched" will not be replacing another show, which I believe is unfair!
Another thing I hate are the constant, continuous DejaView commercials that air during the CH shows. One time I counted 3 different spots during one commercial break and another 2 during the next one. That's a bit much, wouldn't you say?
One channel that seems to be doing it right is Toronto 1, which premiered this Sept. and is also available in the Toronto/Hamilton area. It is owned by Craig Broadcasting, which is also responsible for TV Land Canada. This would explain Toronto 1 showing "Gunsmoke" and "The Brady Bunch" every Saturday afternoon. Both shows are obvious pitches for TV Land Canada, yet they don't overload your brain with that fact, except for a brief announcement before the commercial saying that the program is being brought to you by TV Land Canada, and that's it. If I had to choose only one digital channel to buy, it's fairly obvious which one I'd pick!

Yeah, that's really annoying. They do the same thing when they air westerns to promote their Lonestar channel.
