I discovered this channel about a month ago and it's GREAT!

They play all old, great shows! Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Get Smart, Batman, Taxi, The Rifleman, Sledgehammer, lots of awesome shows. On Saturday nights they have one of these old corny shows Svengoolie, where a guy in ghoul makeup shows old Godzilla movies and makes stupid jokes about them during the commercial breaks. 

It beats the hell out of American Pickers, The News and some asshole trying to raise spoiled kids.

Svengoolie is cool. Just got Godzilla movies this month, not a regular thing for him. Usually he runs old Universal(?) B grade horror flicks. His schedule is on his website for the movies.

MeTV is nice to have. Reminds me of some of the old (even when I was young) shows I would watch.

I discovered I had these channels like a year ago on cable....now I almost watch them more then the cable channels

I like Buzzer the best...all the retro game shows....it's AMAZING how incredibly non-PC some of it is by today's standards

Most of those are over the air around here. I wish DirecTV would pick all four of them up.

I watch Gunsmoke every noon hour. Lately they have gone waaay back and are showing 1/2 hour episodes.
Matt frequently gives a monologue at the beginning of each episode, up on boot hill, with a black hat and a string tie.

One of our local TV channels carries it on sub, and several of the others. When I watch TV I probably spend more time on those channels, but I think the last time I even turned on the TV was sometime in early January.  The hours I work/sleep doesn't leave me a lot of TV time.

You forgot RETRO TV for old shows in general and FETV (Family Entertainment TV) which plays a lot of old western TV shows in the evenings and on weekends.  Lots of Roy Rogers and Lone Ranger today.

My parents, who are in their 80s, love it.

I watch it on Saturday nights for StarTrek, the Original Series.

My 11-y-o son loves it. I always catch him watching stuff like Rifleman, Perry Mason, etc. He's also a big Emergency fan.

My wife and I watch Perry Mason almost every night.

Plus The Night Stalker is on Sunday nights now.  I thought that was the most awesome show when it first came out.

I had to turn that off. 

I started watching my backlog of DVR'd Batman episodes. 

Vincent Price as Egghead was something that I never knew happened. 

They actually had a shit load of huge stars on that show. Vincent Price, Burgess Meredith, Carolyn Jones, Cesar Romero, James Brolin, Milton Berle, Jill St. John, Liberace, Bruce Lee, Art Carney, Roddy McDowall, Zsa Zsa Gabor...everyone who was anyone was on this show, usually as a guest star, but so many of these people were huge stars.

The Star Trek episode before Svengoolie was "Requiem for Methuselah". Good stuff!

It was so much fun I've been on UT since then watching the Spock-McCoy banter and friendship series of vids. Great entertainment.
