September 19, 20241 yr So, my dad has Direct Tv. They had the bullshit dispute with ESPN/ABC. My dad was pissed that he would miss the Horns last weekend. I was up there last wednesday, and I put a trial of YouTube TV on his set, so he could watch the game. Meanwhile, Direct TV and Disney settled, so he got the game anyway. So the trial isn't up, and I found myself sleeping in a beachhouse that had no cable for the last couple of nights. I did have internet, so I tried the YouTube TV on my laptop. I found some obscure channel called "get". Rockford, Quincy, and Sanford back-to-back-to-back, and I fucking loved it. I'm gonna cancel the trial because I have cable at home, but I'm digging this shit.
September 19, 20241 yr Currently watching Rockford Files. Those types of shows are right up my alley. Almost done with season 2.
September 19, 20241 yr a lot of these shows can be found on the sub channels for OTA HD broadcasts. Was just enjoying some Fall Guy on 2-2 in Houston the other day. You'll need rabbit ears...and a TV guide
September 19, 20241 yr On the antenna I like METV but don’t get it in my area. Twilight zone, Alfred Hitchcock each night. Tubi, Roku, Pluto and Xumo have some great old shit. Also have enjoyed Night Gallery, Outer Limits (the later reboot more so than the hokey original version), Ray Bradbury Theater. And of course Columbo On Xumo they have channels like “Universal Action” which I guess runs old series made by Universal Studies in binge format. All the episodes in a row then switch to another series. Have seen Quincy, Columbo, Simon and Simon, the Equilizer, etc Edited September 19, 20241 yr by Lhorn

I binged watched so many get repetitive and predictable but a lot of gems. I tried to do the hour long series he has but couldn't really get into those. They were on Peacock when I watched. No idea if they are still on there. Columbo is in my HOF of tv shows. Never get tired of those, especially the older episodes. The ones at the end were a little hit or miss.

September 19, 20241 yr 57 minutes ago, RPM said: Yes. You might want to d/l Plex, Pluto or Tubi to watch, There are ads. It wouldn't be vintage TV without ads.
September 20, 20241 yr 4 hours ago, Deej said: It wouldn't be vintage TV without ads. Because all the shows would be 40 minutes long without them.
September 21, 20241 yr Magnum and Rockford files are great. Quincy started good then got really preachy at the end. check out Hunter too. That’s also an entertaining show on GET from the 80’s.
