I love watching good tv always have. I just enjoy the twists, turns, romance, and suspense of a good movie. However, most of what I like to watch is the older tv shows and movies. Since we won't pay for cable, a dish, or streaming services, it has been difficult to find such shows and movies.
However, over the past few years, with the tv networks having to switch from over the air tv to digital, it has opened up many new channels on regular tv offering new networks. Networks that carry nothing but movies, or a combination of movies and tv shows. So if you are looking to cut one more bill out of your budget, there is plenty to watch on regular tv. I thought I would share some of these new networks with you.
THIS TV is a network that shows both movies and old tv shows. the movies range from old westerns and other action movies to newer action movies and dramas. They have run all day marathons of the Rocky movies, Star Trek movies, and Elvis movies. In the past few weeks they have shown "Valley Girl" and "The First Knight". "Philadelphia" and "Hannibal" are movies they will be showing soon. Some of the old tv show they show are "The Rat Patrol", "The Addams Family", "In The Heat Of The Night", "The Young Riders", and "Cagney and Lacey." You will have to set the website to the area you live in to find the channel it is on in your area.
get TV is golden entertainment television. It shows a lot of old black and white movies, including Westerns and gangster movies. They also show the Three Stooges movies. On Saturdays, all the run is some type of Western, whether it is a movie, serial, or tv shows. On Monday nights, they show old variety shows like "The Judy Garland Show" and "The Merv Griffin Show." They also pick an icon of the week and feature that icon's movies on a certain day. You can find all the old greats on get TV, like; Fred Astaire, Barbara Stanwyck, Cary Grant, Rita Hayworth, and Spencer Tracy. You find out the channels in your area on the website.
Movies TV Network is another network that shows great old classic black and white movies, as well as new classic movies. On Saturdays, it runs a Popcorn Movie hours where they show all of those fun, old syfi movies; like "The Blob" and "The Lost World." They also show a lot of old John Wayne movies and westerns. Sundays, they run a film noir hours where they show old detective movies or murder mysteries. Recently, they have been showing greats like "Cleopatra" and the Gidget movies. Again, you will have to find where you can view it your area.
All three of these networks will show movies several times a month before replacing them with other movies. Sometimes, I will find nothing new I want to see or something I have seen a zillion other times. However, I often discover a new movie I have never seen or run across a movie I could watch over and over again, like "Donovan's Reef" or "Gidget".
No, these new networks don't show trashy reality shows that stick up the airways of today. Nor, are they chalked full of cooking and home decorating shows, but they are worth taking a look at. Especially, if you are looking at cutting out your cable or dish bill.
Old movies and tv shows are just simply one of those good things!
