Yeah, I yelled at the screen during the episode where they traded in that "old" 68 Polara wagon for a "new" 68 galaxie 4 door.

Yeah,Its like the episode of Happy Days "The Spirit is Willing" where Fonzie cant tell a 1955 Chevy from a 1953/54.

Been watching Las Vegas channel (old TV series, James Caan & Josh Domel (spell?)
on X1, -www- channel, foxy ladies & funny sometime suspenseful
decent show
&
Power Nation, old Speed TV network or Velocity Net. most are older reruns/reairs
now there's another MotorTrend too,
MotorTrend on Fast TV (-www- like chan. 4080 here onX1)
has a bunch of mini marathons
Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, Trucks, Horsepower TV, Extreme 4x4, Engine power
Car Fix, Texas metal, Detroit Muscle, Musclecar TV
like 20 different series/shows of their older shows, as far back as 2005-ish,
some newer, some older
it's pretty good, a lot I don't remember seeing & the old characters/spoke persons/hosts

I watch news in the mornings, Faulkner focus & Outnumbered, while I drink coffee
wait for dad to get up, before making a bunch of noise, or cooking etc.
way better then the junk on most network TV, or cable stuff
with hardon commercials, women's hygiene products & 72 skank deodorants
& the fag meds
then I like to watch 'The 5' & Jessie Waters (makes me laugh)
sometimes I'll watch Gutfeld while doing dishes or cooking etc.

most of it of the internet channels, I get or watch in the higher, in the 4,000's,
or 1,200 & higher (great HD clarity too)
don't have commercials,
not many anyway
just a 2:00 min. break, with some weird thumping bass & color changing circles
then back to the shows

Yeah,I love that series. I have one of the radio controlled Movin On Kenworths they sold back in the 70's. Claude Akins is such an underrated actor. One of the great character actors of the 50's,60's and 70's. Art Metrano and Rosey Grier were hilarious as Moose and Benji driving the pig pen.
Any chance you remember the series "The Came Bronson" starring Michael Parks?

Michael McKean (top left) who played Lenny Kosnowski is the only surviving original cast member.

Loved their Lenny and the Squigtones segments. Mike McKean is a pretty talented guy.

No, back then in the mid seventies in the Canadian arctic we only had one channel. Movin’ On came on late at night. As a side note, in the northern mining town my family moved to in 1969 we had no TV, at all. In about ‘70 or ‘71 we got canned TV; TV shows taped in the south and sent north, then broadcast in the town on a low power transmitter. All shows were exactly two weeks old and there was only four hours per day but we were happy to have them, even the hockey games. When Canada launched the Anik satellite in 1972 it was truly a game changer; tying the far north to the rest of the planet. One of the shows we got was Monty Pythons flying Circus. It was the first time I ever saw anyone say the “F” word on TV and that was insane for the early ‘70’s.

First time I saw tits on public TV.

Flying Circus circa 1976.

On PBS nonetheless.

Rip and tear Bruno! Rip and tear! John Candy was one of the greats!. Such a shame he passed away so soon. His dad only made it to 35.

I agree with you completely there. A vast majority of the time Sctv was far better than SNL. .
