Does Canada get TVLand? They play reruns of Bonanza on there and it's pretty awesome.

Canada may get TVLand or some similar nostalgia station. However lil doesn't. Oh hubski, when will our lil let herself join the current century in order to spend time in the last century.

Wait - what??

It's funny what media from the past counts as nostalgia fodder and what doesn't. Old TV always seems to be nostalgic. Books vary; if it's literary then it's never nostalgia fodder, but otherwise there's a line there and it's awfully squiggly. Lovecraft isn't nostalgic, Manly Wade Wellman is. Music might be even more arbitrary. They still play Alice in Chains on the "new rock" station, but they play Nirvana on the oldies station.

TV and nostalgia are both overrated. ;)

No accounting for taste but I loved that burning map!
