Grrr TV Show Changes

[Speedy!]

I've been accustomed to setting my DVR for a few car shows I like to watch either late at night or in the morning having coffee. Some are a little goofy, but some I've learned a few things from. These would include Car Fix that went from Velocity Channel to Motor Trend. Lou and Jarrod were the hosts. I tune in to the new season and the new host is that goof ball from Two Guys Garage. No mention of Lou or Jarrod. I had been watching those guys since their early days on Spike's PowerTV.

Which brings me to my next complaint. I noticed my DVR wasn't recording any of the Powernation (formerly Powerblock) shows that had moved to the History Channel for 2019. I get to hunting around online and find they've now moved to some weird MSNBCSN channel at random times, and are now also available on Youtube.

What in the world is going on? The Powernation/Powerblock ones were kinda special for me since they're filmed about 30 minutes from my house. I got the opportunity to actually watch them film an episode back when I was affiliated with Arrington Engines. They sent a short block in for assembly on their show and I was invited as a "social media consultant" LOL. Pretty cool to see the all the guys in person and other than a grumpy producer everyone was super cool from Mike Galley to Ian Johnson.

We had Top Gear Amazon, err I mean Grand Tour, but even that doesn't seem to be going this season. One episode and then pffft.

Jarrod and Lou are still around! Those networks have been josseling the shows all over the place so much I couldn't tell you where or when. I've seen them within the last week or so though. I can't keep up with what channel they're on; what day/night and what time. I end up missing the first half of a new season before I find them and then the seasons end up being pretty short, so I only catch about the last two episodes. Frustrating. Oh, and yea, they're really pushing download an APP to your phone and "streaming" some new shows they've come up with. End of my rant... lol

The original black and white Andy Griffith Show episodes with Barney Fife (Don Knotts) are the best!

Never cared for aunt Bea, but Otis was awesome.

 

[1971demon]

In real life...Aunt bea and Andy did not get along at all...made filming difficult...they kinda made up many many years later

Very true. Frances Bavier was a pain in the ass with all cast members. Moody.
