Folk TV - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Has anyone seen this channel? I happened upon it while channel-surfing and saw an old Dragnet episode - the ‘50s version. The channel guide (FIOS) says MNet, but that’s a music channel and this channel definitely has a different schedule - besides Dragnet there is Red Skelton, Route 66, The Prisoner, The Saint, Danger Man, and Thriller. I just noticed you can stream from their website too and I think it’s on Roku as well. Some good shows; I’m always happy to see Route 66 for one.

I wish I had the Folk channel! Route 66 has never aired on any TV stations I get. And I saw a lot of the 60s Dragnet when it aired on Antenna TV, but the 50s version hasn't aired much.

We have Folk TV here also.

For those of you who would love to get it, it's on DISH network Ch. 218. It's like a combination of Me-Tv and RTV: too many Westerns in the afternoons and public domain sitcoms in the late night hours. This is what their schedule looks like:

A particular programming note that interested me:

Saturday, Sept. 21 - 3:00 AM - "Having A Beer With Mike"

Now there's something you'll never see on CBS!

Why not?

There is also a free Folk TV Roku channel.

It is kind of odd; I would never have noticed this channel if I didn’t channel-surf once in a while because it’s labeled incorrectly on the program guide. Route 66 is on Retro TV once in a while but they always seem to be moving it around on their schedule. I caught “My Little Margie” the other night, which I haven’t seen in a long while.

I have it but I've never watched it.
