Get TV is showing all these rare Columbia talkies, including Buck Jones and Tim McCoy westerns with the 50s reissue titles. Who else out there is watching?

I try to watch occasionally, but the prints they use are terrible, they break for commercials too often, and they broadcast in the wrong aspect ratio.

No, Daniel, the Buck Jones westerns they've been showing have been gorgeous prints.

I've missed the Buck Jones films so far. The B-Westerns I have tried to watch looked pretty bad.

Fort Petticoat last night looked awful. Some of the widescreen titles have been shown panned-and-scanned.

Plus it seems like every five minutes there's another mesothelioma ad.
