Re: [ot_caving] More DTV update Public Service Announcement
The funny and ironic thing about the ad: When she says Will it bring Jack Benny back? I have to wonder if the program selection committee for KEYE-SD (42-2) saw that Spike Feresten spoof ad They mostly air RTV (Retro TV) and for the first time in over 40 years I got to see - you guessed it The Jack Benny Program. They show two of his programs back to back starting at 10:00am. I think I remember it from the early 60s - but I would never have believed just how funny some of the material was - Like a parody of how Steven Foster wrote many of his songs while suffering from writer's block - I didnt realize they GOT so silly back then - it was totally off the wall - hilarious What's VCR Plus? -WaV On Mon, Oct 6, 2008 at 7:28 PM, Bill Bentley ca...@caver.net wrote: http://www.hulu.com/watch/36608/talkshow-with-spike-feresten-cable-psa Try that ... no, it is a satire...

Re: [ot_caving] More DTV update Public Service Announcement
Oh yeah - that ran for what - about a year? Yeah - I remember the codes printed in a box at the bottom of television listings in the newpapers. Wow - yeah, before on screen programming it wasn't too easy to program a VCR, was it? Rather than on screen I seem to remember using a LCD display on the front of the VCR. But my old VCR was pre- VHS plus. -WaV On Tue, Oct 7, 2008 at 6:34 AM, Bill Bentley ca...@caver.net wrote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCR_Plus - Original Message - *From:* Don Cooper wavyca...@gmail.com *To:* Bill Bentley ca...@caver.net *Cc:* o...@texascavers.com ; power_lou...@hotmail.com *Sent:* Tuesday, October 07, 2008 1:43 AM *Subject:* Re: [ot_caving] More DTV update Public Service Announcement The funny and ironic thing about the ad: When she says Will it bring Jack Benny back?
