Been down since midnite, nothing but black screen..I hope they aren't going away for good.

They must be having problems, I saw a Windows dialog box for a second....and they were back for a second....and now Helen Hayes and Gary Cooper are coming on.

edit: now it's black screen with audio.

Somebody woke up-it's back now! Wouldn't want to miss Gary Cooper.

I've noticed things like that with WS, I'm guessing they have some college kids doing some of the production work, and they get sidetracked.

I noticed them having a lot of glitches in the past few days.

RTV had some major issues over the weekend too.

Could it be the same bunch running both ??

edit: OMG! They are playing the Little Rascals now!! OMG!!

LOL!! Well of course! I had heard that the Little Rascals / Our Gang had been banned for some sort of racial overtones, IE, Buckwheat.

I never saw anything racist about it, I always thought he was adorable and funny, just like all the rest of the gang.

I haven't seen these little shows in a very long time. I guess since I was little, as best as I can recall.

I hope they make these little shows a regular part of their line up, I really love them so much.

I heard that same rumor too something about Bill Cosby bought the rights to The Little Rascals because it was racist and no one could air the episodes until they where 100 years old and became public domain.

Rumors.......
from Wikipedia:The widely-circulated rumor that entertainer [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Cosby"]Bill Cosby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Bill_Cosby_(2010).jpg" class="image"><img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f4/Bill_Cosby_%282010%29.jpg/220px-Bill_Cosby_%282010%29.jpg"@@AMEPARAM@@commons/thumb/f/f4/Bill_Cosby_%282010%29.jpg/220px-Bill_Cosby_%282010%29.jpg[/ame] bought up the rights to Our Gang to keep the racial stereotypes off of television is false. Cosby has never owned any rights to the series at any time.

Lot of info on Our Gang comedies avail at imdb.com .

Um, dumb question and I didn't see this mentioned.

Were the Rascals on White Springs or on RTV?

And what time of day (or night)

Photto

They're on White Springs , sometimes. They just played that short again about 20min ago. If you'll check whitesprings schedule and see what movie started at 9am central today, it just might follow that same movie later when it repeats. I think that one was "Our Gang Follies of
1938".

I had the opportunity to meet Joe Cobb (the original chubby kid from Our Gang) in about 2000. He was hospitalized with Alzheimer's and would often talk about filming as if it had just barely happened. It was very interesting to hear is take on the other actors and the filming process.
