Back when Cable-TV was the wild west

Higgens boys and Gruber was one of the first programs I watched when got my very first cable-TV hook-up. It came on every afternoon when I got off from work. I had no idea that Joel Hodgson created the show, but in retrospect, it makes sense, dry humor and a great sense of pop-culture charm. I hadn't watched "Supercar" since I was 7 years old, and here it is again! I had almost forgotten the show. Today cable-TV sucks. There's nothing on worth watching, except perhaps the Family Guy and South Park. The History Channel doesn't even do history anymore. Where else could you watch "Joe McDoakes?" but the orginal Comedy Channel. Those were the days!
