Back when there were 3 channels, plus PBS.

WLOS came in only when the weather was optimal.

Greenville and Spartanburg. And we were in NE GA!!

Had to rely on the Athens and Atlanta papers and the hometown weekly rag for any Georgia news or politics.

I watched the BluRay of Deliverance just last weekend.

I watched Boogie Nights and a week later Philip Seymour Hoffman was dead.

Recently I watched It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and Sid Caesar and Mickey Rooney died.

I am think about seeing that new Rumsfeld documentary. Anyone know a good film about the Koch brothers?
