And this is a classic why? As for myself, I have a hard time rapping my brain around the fact, that many people who post on this board weren't born until I was in college. I was a freshman in 1970, and I got my first job out of college in 1982, so I think of TV classics as those TV shows aired between 1948, and 1968, and those who weren't born until 1980 or so, may not even have a clue as to what TV was like back then. Try:
http://www.tcfnostalgia.com
But besides that, I have always thought of an antique as being 50 years old or more, and a classic as being something that is 25 years old or more that has endured the test of time. While there are some classic shows that are still on tv in 1995, even in detroit, I have to ask, How is a schedule repleat with cheap talk shows and payed programing reflective of "Classic or vintage TV"? One of the most enjoyable things about TV as it was 60 years ago was that each station had it's own personality because each station had it's own booth announcers, News presentations, and other things about it that made it an entity unto itself. Now a CBS O&O is just like any other CBS O&O and it doesn't matter if you are in Michigan, Ohio, or New York, and that is sad. Also, check out Tub Tub TV, and some of the Nostalgia channels on the TVU networks web site that have been posted about lately on this board, and sit back and watch. It's about as close as you can come to the "old days". I have offten thought about the viability of starting a web site that would play old public domain TV shows and include station IDs, pretend Newscasts, and other local programs that would be like the old days. Such as Meditations and farm reports and other things that you don't see any more. I have talked about it before on this board.

How about: it's classic by default simply because it's not current. Kinda like the argument, "when is a song really an oldie"... to an extent, anyway.

By the way: I'm willing to bet that WXYZ's airing of "Matlock" at 8 PM on this day was a pre-emption of whatever ABC was airing at that hour.

I'm willing to bet that WXYZ's airing of "Matlock" at 8 PM on this day was a pre-emption of whatever ABC was airing at that hour.

While WXYZ used "Matlock" as pre-emption fodder, it may actually have been an ABC program -- the network picked up "Matlock" from NBC in 1992 and carried the last three seasons, ending in May 1995.

And what about CBET?
