Free digital TV channels
Jan 30^th, 2011 at 1:01pm

Casting my eye over the weekly program for the new channels, what I mostly see is a long procession of trashy American sitcoms which I didn't watch in the 70s 80s 90s & naughties and have no wish to watch now.
BUT I am impressed with Seven Two which runs a lot of old, quality UK shows. Also like the ABC News channel, but where I am it drops out half the time.
Would watch The sports channel (One?) for the European soccer coverage except they shpw it at ungodly hours.
So I'll go on collecting DVDs.

What a classic that show was!!! The closest thing they have come to this is two and a half men, and even that's getting tired now...now that Charley is quite literally playing his own real-life character. cringe I like Big Bang theory, Scrubs, ....

Admit it Carl, you just like the contours on jennies bottle...and Sam the Witches broomstick. Ok, admittedly, I don't mind both these shows myself, but prefer Bewitched to IDOJ.

I can't stand Robin Williams and could never tolerate Mork & Mindy. Now that was definitely Yank trash.

Welcome Back Kotter was good - but it hasn't been shown for years. I can't think of too many old shows that would be appealing today. The Addams Family and the Munsters were entertaining to a degree decades ago.

The UK has produced some quality shows over the years. They're way ahead of the US in realism.
