When i was a kid, I loved Nick at Nite, who's soothing black and white glow led me safely to and from the bathroom.... ... and today, in 2022, it's MeTV.... because modern shows STINK, and the shows my dad watched when he was a kid stand the test of time. This I caught on Nick at Night, and I loved it right down to the lensless glasses. It is SUPER CHEAP and SUPER FUN. And when you are a kid, the cheap doesn't matter so much.
