Retro TV or simply RTV is your alternative to all the new shows if you prefer to watch re-runs & more re-runs from the '50s up to the '80s. Isn't this how "Nick-at-Nite" started?
Some of these old re-runs are downright corny. Some are quite good. You may even re-discover an old 'guilty pleasure'. I especially like re-runs of The Rockford Files & Magnum P.I. I can do without Kojak and The A-Team. To hear those famous words..."Just the facts, Ma'am." tune into Dragnet. No...not the movie - the original TV show starring Jack Webb. If you remember when this show first aired in glorious black & white...you're as old as me.
Saturday evenings feature two of the corniest sci-fi shows ever; Buck Rogers and the original Battlestar Galactica. Both on week-ends and late night during the week you can see a very young looking Robert Wagner in It Takes a Thief.
Looking to go back in time? See if there's an RTV affiliate in your part of the country. They can be found on the web @ myretrotv.com.
