Amazing how much damage one bad cap can do

It's Antenna TV (9.2 in Chicago). Svengoolie is on MeTV Saturday nights.

I just have to add this in regards to MeTV. I am so glad that this channel exists over the air! At first I tuned in periodically on my bedroom's early 80s Panasonic, but now I am starting to prefer that ONE channel to all 200 or so of the DirecTV that is up to about $80 a month. Not long ago I was aggravated as late at night I couldn't find a thing on DirecTV, so I unplugged it and moved a digital converter into the living room and was fine the rest of the night.

Nearly any time of the day or night something worth watching is on except Saturday morning when they give in to the most awful kids programming and cartoons I have ever seen. Really weird stuff that I couldn't imagine being interested in if I were a kid, but times change I guess. With their format one would think that they would be showing the decent cartoons of yesteryear. I'm sure kids would catch on and probably enjoy the old cartoons from the 50s-70s.

As a footnote, sometimes hours of the various versions of Lassie get a little old. I never realized that there were at least three different versions. I believe the original was Jeff's Collie, followed by Lassie with Jeff (the kid) and a couple of different moms (June Lockhart and Chloris Leachman), and finally the 60s-early 70s version without a real "sitcom" format just showing the dog on adventures with his owner who is something like a forest ranger. I think I am watching too much TV! Thank God they aren't showing blocks of Emergency!
