@sammydog01 It’s weird, because I thought digital broadcasting was supposed to fix all of of this. But the same stations that have always been problematic are still problematic, just now they don’t come in at all rather than through a blizzard of static. Maybe it’s better.
@yakkoTDI Svengoolie always makes me mildly sad that he’s old and fat and doesn’t do all the little skits and parodies he did 40 years ago. But I’m old and fat now too, and it’s not like I’ve picked up any of the little-skits-and-parodies slack, so I try to be philosophical about it. I wish there were a station that could show ALL of the horror hosts, so we could see how they’ve evolved since the '50’s, enjoy all the regional differences and not get the local in-jokes.
@sammydog01@yakkoTDI She’s definitely active online, promoting branded stuff (she even has a line of perfume through Demeter). I assume she’d be doing cons if there were any going on. Does anybody have her old shows streaming? I’ve love to see, specifically, The Blood on Satan’s Claw again.
@mossygreen@sammydog01 Here is one I would love to see again to see if it holds up now. Of course without Dr. Paul Bearer’s bad puns and singing** of classic songs like Poisoning Pigeons in the Park it just will not be the same.
It’s on the channel with the crappy tower and I don’t have cable. Enjoy!
@sammydog01 Ah, we don’t live anywhere near each other, here that would mean CBS.
@mossygreen NBC here. The guy at Best Buy told me trying a better antenna would be useless. FIX YOUR TOWER NBC!

@mossygreen The weird thing is we get Hulu Live which costs a bundle and Hulu runs MeTV but they don’t have MeTV on Hulu Live.
@sammydog01 I disapprove of this.
@mossygreen @sammydog01 Here it is MeTV, part of abc.
Svengoolie was part of my childhood in Chicagoland!
@haydesigner DAMN STRAIGHT.
MeTV comes in free over the air here
@cranky1950 here too
we don’t get meTV here AT ALL. not OTA, not Cable… same cable company, a town over gets it, but not us…
@earlyre That is unforgivable.
@mossygreen and they are a smaller population as well…
Svengoolie always makes me sad that Dr. Paul Bearer is no longer hosting Creature Feature on Saturday or the Friday Night Frights.
@yakkoTDI We had Gregory the Gravewalker. Is Elvira still on?
@sammydog01 Not sure about Elvira still hosting monster movies. We had her on one of the stations for a while. May have been a cable station though,

@mossygreen @yakkoTDI Ooh, that looks good! Hammer!
@mossygreen @sammydog01 I remember it being good. The killer seaweed was great.
