MeTV


KTXD-TV 47, a former East Texas religious/infomercial/shopping channel has recently changed formats and swapped hawking cheap jewelry and personally autographed prayer towels for a classic TV network lineup. MeTV (Memorable Entertainment Television Network) specializes in classic TV blockbusters like Bonanza, Gunsmoke, The Big Valley, Hawaii Five-0, The Rockford Files, and one of my personal favorites... Cannon.

It's not only a time warp watching the same shows you watched as a kid, just seeing the future big time stars playing bit parts is worth the price of admission. And not surprisingly, the well written shows like Cannon and Rockford Files hold up long after primetime has passed them by.

MeTV also features classic comedies like Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Get Smart and Batman.

So if you were born before 1965 or have an interest in video anthropology, check out MeTV KTXD 47.

There was actually some good stuff on TV way back when...


That's what's known as The $2 Rockford Special. The $2 being the roll of nickles he had in his fist...
