I bet I'm the only one on TCF watching Maverick reruns this summer. I've probably seen over 70 of them so far. I'll probably cancel the SP next week.

Wrong cheesesteak! I'm to the point where I'm seeing "re-runs" of ones I've already seen before! I'm sure I haven't seen every Maverick ever produced, but I'm willing to bet that I've seen 90% of the ones that Encore has the rights to show.

Now on to your question:
I'll bet I'm the only guy on TCF that has a season pass to "The Finish Line" on TVG, and has every ep since the late Kentucky Derby preps as KUID

tvbythenumbers points out that 700th place finish was out of 14,000 measured cable shows, so it's not so bad, really. A lot of people apparently like Fresh Prince with their coffee.

So I'm NOT the only one!!!!
I just set up my SP for it last week, I've really enjoyed them, but it's hard to decide which are worth watching and which aren't with them doing 4x a day.

I am using the wikipedia list of episodes to try and make sure I watch the ones they feel offer more then average viewing or story experiences.

I've had SPs for Maverick off and on over the years going back when it was OTA on Me TV in Chicago. It's always good.

My TiVo recently picked up the Maverick solitaire episode as a suggestion.

"Brett Maverick" was good, too, for as long as it lasted. I have all of those on tape.

There was a Maverick maling list years back which would tell you when the series was picked up to be on cable channels. I remember that Good TV, whatever that is, had it.

I learned to not record the 9 am episode. Just TiVo the episodes at 6 and 7 pm. The daytime episodes run on a different schedule than the evening ones. It really doesn't matter that much but it cuts down on your backlogged episodes.

A lot of Maverick episodes were really, really good. Other than lack of free time, I have no problem watching 2 or 3 Mavericks in a day. I'm amazed at how Bret and Bart fell in love with a different woman every episode but never got to second base.

While not specifically off Tivo, I've spent this year's re-run season living off Hulu (hey, it's still four letters).

So far I've finished: Tremors (the series), Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and The Time Tunnel. I'm working on Land of the Giants (2 episodes left), I Spy, and Buffy (which doesn't qualify for this thread).

I got a whole list of other shows for next summer.

I guess it doesn't really qualify, especially since it's not currently on, but I was watching History IQ for a while after History showed up on analog (before the big cable switchover to digital).. and once I got cablecards, they stopped running it.

Heh, that was the game show, which I was recording too (and also isn't airing anymore -- I couldn't quite figure out how much of the entire show they aired.. I think they actually skipped some of the $250K contest they ended with).. but I meant to write this about another show, which I can't remember the name of. NOT History's Mysteries, which is another show they're running now..

NOT History Detectives (which I also record, but it's on PBS, and a few weeks ago one of the local PBS channels started showing them FROM THE BEGINNING so I'm burning them to rewritable DVD and will eventually go through to make sure I've seen all of them -- I think I missed a bunch after the first season or two)...

The history channel had this other show which locally was showing from 6-7AM on Sundays (two half hour shows).. It was about various artifacts in museums around the world, presented sort of as a "mystery" format.. and while it was a "half hour" show, I used 30 second skip on this show as much as on any MTV reality show -- it seemed to have as much commercials as anything I've ever recorded.. But the show content was still entertaining.

I work with a LOT of YOUNG single moms so "16 & Pregnant" was required watching for me. One of the nurses I talk to a lot at one of our facilities knows one of the couples on the show-she sees them around town with the baby. So I guess they are doing OK. I was just heartbroken for some of these girls, though-lifelong dreams shattered because of - let's just say it, Dr Drew style - magical thinking - "Oh, I won't get pregnant!" YEAH, YA DID!

In checking the 'net, it looks as if KHIZ is the Retro Television Network affiliate for Los Angeles. The station is actually located in Victorville-Barstow, but I imagine it would be available on cable in the LA metro area.
