bad U.N.C.L.E. news

There's always the Wild Wild West DVD set(s)...

I am surprised TVland hasn't picked those up for their "Wild West
Saturday" afternoon lineup. It certain would be a welcome break
from Ponderosa and Bonanza!

Russell Watson...

They did. They ran every Saturday for quite a while a couple of years
ago. Started with a daylong marathon that covered most of season 1,
then ran weekly for some time. I assumed that it was still on but just
moved to the dark hours of morning or something, like they did the
George Reeves Superman shows. Last I saw they had those on at like
4:30 EST. Figured WWW had attained the same fate. Is it not airing at
all now?

Ubiquitous...

I have no recollection of TVland ever airing Wild Wild West for some
reason, but I recall they were on TNT in the mid-1990's.

ANIM8Rfsk...

And they had that great 'lunchbox' animated logo. Yeah, I remember that.

Ubiquitous...

Oh my gosh! I had totally forgotten about that!

ANIM8Rfsk...

Yeah, me too, until this came up. Good times, good times.

Ah, for the days they used to play "Weird Movies" on Saturday nights...

ANIM8Rfsk...

Joe Bob Briggs. Wanted to shoe Barbarella and Hanoi Jane wouldn't let him.
And he said so on the air, and then was gone. I'm sure there's no
connection though.

Ubiquitous...

Yes! That's the one!

Hmm, TNT used to play UNCLE too...

ANIM8Rfsk...

My U.N.C.L.E. set is still shown as ordered at Amazon, but obviously it
ain't gonna ship on time.

Jude Cormier...

nope. TV Land bites.
