Have you ever had a show that you loved come on another channel in another state and mad because you don't have it? I love old sitcoms and the best of them come on local channels that I do not get. It would be easy if they made all local channels for news AND NATIONAL CHANNELS HAD SITCOMS.

We have a pretty good channel for old sitcoms her in Indy. They are a small channel, and they air My Three Sons (unedited), Laverne and Shirley, Happy Days, Hogan's Heroes, and the Cosby Show. They also air Bonanza and Gunsmoke...they used to have the Rifleman unedited. They don't use logos, and actually play the closing credits (which virtually no one does anymore).

YES!!! I got mad when I found out that DS was airing on Peachtree TV in Atlanta (although not so much when I found out it was also airing on BET, which I have and never watched before until now

) and I also longed to live in Canada when I found out that they were airing FOL there on that CTS channel (idk if they still are or not).
However, I live near Chicago and we have a local channel called ME-TV, which plays nothing but classic sitcoms and they used to have a whole FOL/DS hour (they played a FOL ep at 3:00 and a DS ep at 3:30) but they don't anymore.

I hear about a lot of shows that air on WGN Chicago and it makes me mad that we can't get that in my area!
