Back-to-back episodes of one series after another - I'll tackle this later on, but it just makes a joke out of the schedule, doesn't it? And personally, I think 10:30 in the morning is way too early for baseball. It makes me appreciate just how much of a culture shift it requires to live on the West Coast. It also makes me glad I live in the Central time zone.

A full morning of religious programming on a Sunday morning - kind of quaint nowadays, don't you think? And two movies in the afternoon - I wonder if that's what they show today, or if it's mostly infomercials?

This is a prime example of what I absolutely hate about television from this era, which you still see frequently today. Just look at the afternoon schedule - back-to-back episodes of Gilligan, Small Wonder, Belvedere, Family Ties, and four episodes of Lucy. You can't tell me a big station like KTTV didn't have more programming to broadcast that that, can you? It shows an incredible lack of creativity, although it was probably quite profitable. What makes it worse is when a network does this during the week, showing two or four episodes of a series every day Monday through Friday. At that rate, it would take about five weeks to polish off a 100-episode series, 100 episodes always having been considered the threshold for syndication. No wonder people get so sick of seeing certain programs.

The version of The Untouchables you see listed is not the original, featuring Robert Stack, but the remake (or would they call it a reboot nowadays?), starring Tom Amandes as Ness. It ran in syndication for two seasons, 42 episodes. Maybe it was more accurate, I don't know; I never saw it. But there's only one Elliot Ness, and it wasn't Tom Amandes, nor was it Kevin Costner.

Now this is something I definitely didn't encounter living in Minnesota. Programs in Armenian, Chinese, Hebrew, Farsi, and English. I'm probably missing something along the way. I'd guess this station was dedicated to programming supported by local ethnic associations.

Empire of the Air is Ken Burns' documentary on the men responsible for the creation of radio. It's a fascinating look at how radio came to be, and how it came to dominate the American landscape, if for only a short time before television came to the fore. It was also interesting as one of Burns' shorter efforts, before he became so well-known for the long-form series. I'd like to see it again some day. Maybe next time I'm over at YouTube. TV
Two things I got from this, that networks were still running movies on Sunday nights and looking over the Sunday lineups from all four networks.... geez, I guess I wasn't watching anything on Network Sunday nights in 1993.
