Re: WSAH switching to Retro TV July 1st.
I'm glad Retro TV has standards, WSAH obviously doesn't care. |

No, WSAH decided to drop RTV because RTV was having the technical problems. That's WSAH's side of the story, anyway. |

Unfortunately, there are few other channel choices for RetroTV to get onto, in the NY-metro area. Most non-PBS independents air non-English, religious, or infomercial programming. |

I miss those shows, too. And, many others. I still wish Verizon would carry RTV, like Comcast does with ION, in markets without an affiliate, because RTV has so many shows not on any cable channel Verizon carries.

Matt this whole thread reminds me of when apps fist came out in the early 90's testing some new fangled method to make phone calls over the internet, I bought the microphone and got all set up, it was lousy(before ATM was really used for outsiders). I gave it all up because of quality. I never liked small dishes and fought the urge for years and kept the large BUD "beautiful" dish for years (still there actually) eventhough I was forced to go to Dishnetwork as more of the encrypted stuff just would not be "sold" over the 4DTV boxes(another borings tory)
anyways I think we should pool our resources and make a pitch to whomever owns the TVLAND brand (CRS is getting worse) and make a pitch for TVLAND2 (to "sample" mtv's naming techniques) and see if we can get all our favorite childhood shows on
I'm voting for
Emergency
CHIPs (reason i came to Kalifornia embarrising I know)
Perry Mason
Batman & Robin
Lost in Space
cartoon series of the Lone Rangers
cartoon series of Speed Racer
I dream of Jennie
Gilligan's Island
Canon

(the whole saturday or sunday night line up on nbc)

| TV Land 2 is a great idea. I'm a bit older than you, but I love your list and would expand it a bit more. Even including some long-lost TV movies.
Yes, some of these shows are online, but I'd rather be comfy while I watch them on a big screen.
And, the Dennis Weaver cowboy detective series was McCloud, a part of NBC's Sunday Night Mystery Movie. It was based on the Clint Eastwood movie Coogan's Bluff, about a Southwestern deputy in NY.
Also, you can rent episodes of some of those shows, Hawaii Five-0 for example, through Blockbuster Online or Netflix. Or, buy them as season sets. »www.tvshowsondvd.com
But, many shows and movies aren't available anywhere, and that's a shame.

For many of the shows you listed rtcy, the rights are held by a channel, but they don't show it. SyFy channel is a prime example. The way of the future, as strange as this sounds, is to watch the old TV Shows on the Internet. Albeit in lower quality. |

Verizon removed the logo. I can't understand how the FCC allows this channel to broadcast.  |
