    Local markets would be stupid to not jump on big time shows just entering syndication, like Modern Family or The Office.

    I don't think they skipped a generation at all. Two of the most popular shows of the 90s are heavily in syndication.
    I'm not sure which shows he's even talking about.

    I haven't seen a show on any channel from the 70's or 80's on any channel that isn't a retro channel.

    I'm pretty sure he has some of his era's and shows messed up (either that or the channels he get's are drastically different than ours which is also possible).


    I would die to see some re-runs of WKRP in Cincinnati again but can't find them anywhere and I don't have a VHS player anymore to play the tapes I have

      Maybe USA is diff lol. Seinfeld and Friends do air reruns in Canada, but they're on horrible networks where other than those shows, the networks lineup sucks.

      That 70s show,malcolm in the middle,king of the hill,king of queens among other shows you mentioned, don't air in Canada anymore.

      In Canada there's a retro channel and the shows I've seen airing on it are things like those old 60s-70s superhero shows. The channel is designed to air shows that used to air on that channel,but many of the great shows that did air on that channel, don't air on that retro channel...

        So what shows do you get from the 70's and 80's? I'm kind of jealous.

        WKRP? I would be even more jealous if you get reruns of Monty Python.

              I'm not saying those were all great shows, or that no good shows do air, it was just a quick list I could find.

                I fold a sheet of toilet paper into a small square and squirt of dab of Germ-X on it. Spread it out with my finger than wipe the front and back. Then wipe off the residue with a wet towel if there is one hanging up. Hasn't messed up my Zagg screen shield or the back of it after 3 years of doing it.

                  Yahoo's videos. For some reason they can never play for me.

                  Oh, except the advertisement before the video. That always seems to play with no problems.

                    Those shows are OK, but they don't stand a chance when put up against old episodes of The Simpsons....
                    I'll watch Two and a Half Men with Charlie Sheen over the Simpsons every night of the week, and twice on the weekend.

                      You guys have some weird-*** ways of cleaning a phone screen. Germ-X? VASELINE?!?

                      Unless you are using your screen immediately after eating a dozen sticky buns, a microfiber wipe should do the trick.

                            The first two seasons or so of Two and a Half Men were actually pretty good. After that not so much.

                              I can't stand Two and a Half Men now...maybe it was better early on when I wasn't watching, but not a fan now.

                                I like to occasionally lick my phone. So I need to get rid of the germs not just spread them around.
