Our local CBS channel has those like 19-2 here in Huntsville Alabama. They play all the favs. What is neat, those were hot in the day. I try to get my 20s ages kids to watch 3 stooges, nightrider and the like. "This is boring dad, how can you watch these" I say, you grew up with 150 channels, video games. We had three networks, even before Fox and pong. Kids today... Spoiled
