IIRC, before WB and UPN, there used to be a market for plain old syndicated shows - comedies and dramas too - that were shown on the locally owned network. I wonder if that will re-emerge.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That was still around-- I'm thinking of stuff like VIP, Xena, Mutant X. WB/UPN stations only had national programming at night. During the day they put on syndicated programming like that, particularly weekends.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
WOR's pre-UPN claim to fame is that it was the flagship station for the Mets, and that's about it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I am suddenly having vague memories of other local grade-Z talk shows. Like the Richard Bey show, which was like Jerry Springer, only even cheaper and everyone with Bronx accents.
Wow, this is why I didn't learn anything in highschool -- too busy watching Flatbush bellydancers justify their chosen professions to their angry boyfriends.

So, there's a new damn episode tonight, right? Along with Lost and Bones?
The TV schedule lives to make me weep.

also the MIT Mythbusters is on, re-visiting the Ancient Death Ray experiment. Since no VM tonight for us, I will try to watch Lost and tape Mythbusters.

I haven't come up with a plan to deal with three shows/one time slot. I can do two, but three is a logistical nightmare. Theoretically they're repeating VM on Sunday, but my local station often sticks something else in instead.

Yes, new VM and new Lost.
Of course, VM is being repeated over the weekend AND next Tuesday -- so you could make your decision based on that.
