The retro TV subchannels I mentioned are, IMO, the best thing to happen to TV in years, if not decades or generations. Today's network shows are (or at least seem to be) geared toward millennials and younger viewers, considering the programs have so much violence, shooting and so on; it is apparently what that generation wants to see on its giant flat screen TVs. Today's network TV seems to be aimed squarely at viewers of that age group, leaving folks like myself (I'm almost 62 years old) and others in my generation with nothing much to watch except the retro DTV subchannels, DVDs of shows from the '50s to the '70s, and PBS. Thank goodness for the last, as it is, again IMO, the last "good" TV network in the US.

I hear ya! I'm down here in the Ohio River Valley just north of Wheeling and south of Steubenville so I just get two VHF channels on rabbit ears, 9 out of Steubenville and 7 out of Wheeling. I'm very grateful 9 carries MeTV on it's 9.3 subchannel. That's one good thing about the transition to DTV, at least you can have the subchannels for things like this. I'm watching Nightstalker now.
