Thanks for the notice. I may watch some of those, if it'll help me escape from all those dadgum awful political announcements!

Ooh, fun! I have to check and see if we get that channel. It doesn't sound familiar.

My favorite, most terrifying, AHitchcock episode was one of the one-hour shows where these nurses were staying in this house (which was the same house they used for Psycho) and somebody was killing them off. I won't spoil it, but I remember when I first saw it, it scared the qrap out of me!

My husband talks about that episode scaring him silly, CB. I don't recall seeing it ever.

Do you remember, back in the 60's I think, when Richard Speck (probably not spelled right) killed 8 nurses who lived together in the same apartment? It seems like it happened in Chicago? That really scared me. Put the lie to "safety in numbers".

Yes! When I first saw that I was alone in a big house babysitting for a relative. OMG I was so scared. Then when they started running the Hitchcock's on those oldie channels I made sure to see it again. It wasn't scary at all this time LOL!

PS: The best thing about watching those old shows is the fashions, the cars, the furnishings etc. Those giant steering wheels in the automobiles crack me up. Also EVERYBODY smokes!

Yes, that's the correct spelling & it was in the summer of 1966. He managed to catch them off guard & the one who identified him had been able to hide under a bed. Can you imagine the nightmares she must have? Anyway, he died in prison in 1991-no loss to anyone.

My favorite part of the show is Hitchcock's ironic sense of humor

I have satellite so I don't know where or how to locate Antenna TV.

Enjoyed 'Marnie' as one of my favorites.

I think 'Marnie' was a movie, no?

If you Google 'Antenna TV' there is a choice to put in your zip code and see if you get the channel in your area and with what service. It will give you the channel number too.

They have commercials on there......don't think you can escape it unless you watch PBS which is commercial free......
