The wrong version of "Vacation At Fred's Landing" is listed on the schedule. (It says that the May 1952 version of that episode ["Vacation Plans"] is going to be shown.) Unless, the 1952 version has been found (which is highly unlikely) than the one chosen for syndication (the 1954 version) will be used.

Anyway, makes me wish that I had WPIX down here in Florida.

I get so sick of this site advertising WPIX like it's a cable channel. Not many people on this board have it and they feel the need to publicize the marathon every year.

Yeah, according to wikipedia.org, the only way to get WPIX outside of the NYC area is if

- You live in Canada or Mexico (no joke)

or

- You live in a rural area away from a CW network and/or if you subscribe to the superstation package of Dish and if you do subscribe, you better hope that your local CW station isn't invoking the syndex rule to black it out.

About the lost episode that WPIX is supposedly going to air (the still lost version of "Vacation At Fred's Landing"), I still highly doubt that WPIX is going to air it because if they did, wouldn't we find out by now that the episode had been found?

Dish network offers WPIX, WSBK, WWOR, and KWGN in a superstation package and I believe ala-carte.

I do not get WPIX, but knowing that they continue to air the series like they have pretty much since 1956 just makes the world feel a little more right.
