Retro TV Network
We just discovered a new station in our area. It's called Retro TV Network (RTN). We love it! We've been catching re-runs of Get Smart, Hogan's Heroes, Magnum P.I., and a lot more. It's a classic tv lover's dream! It's kind of like TVLand, but with a lot less of the annoying "new, original" shows TVLand puts out.
To check out what shows they offer and if it's available in your area, check out the RTNVille website.

I've lost a lot of things these last four years. Starting with a prisoner the state told me to guard.
I don't know about you, but I don't need 3 hours of Leave It To Beaver a day (Sorry, LITB fans! But I don't!) And where did Offbeat Cinema go?! Not sure I like this new line-up, but at least Magnum's still around. I just wish our cable company would update their on-screen guide listings! I have no clue what's on anymore.
Hey, if any of you get a chance, be sure to check out the viewer mail on rtnville.com, the Retro TV Network's website. Thankfully many viewers seem to share the feelings my wife and I have for TVLand. Now, if they would only show The Fugitive again, or add The Outer Limits to their lineup, all would be right in the world.

Retro Tv, hey that sounds cool! I always thought TVLand was great, but Im afraid I agree with you about the Leave it to Beaver...TvLand and WGN used to show like 4 episodes a day! YIPES! Sorry but Im a diabetic and that much Ward and Wally and Beaver made my sugar so through the roof!We just discovered a new station in our area. It's called Retro TV Network (RTN). We love it!

"Oh, the pain, the pain!"
Retro TV Network had another programming change in our area. Magnum PI and Simon and Simon have been replaced with Knight Rider and Alfred Hitchcock Hour. Sorry, Michael Knight, but I miss Magnum. And Alfred, I love ya, but I've seen you over and over and over. I miss the Simons too... especially Rick.

I recently found another retro type network... Antenna TV. Kind of ironic, given that antennas don't work for tv anymore. Maybe that was the point to the name. Old time-y tv. "Vintage, without the funny smell." LOL.
