New Shows For Those Who Love Old Shows
There’s nothing worse than seeing a favorite TV show come to an end. This is especially prevalent with older TV series, such as Dragnet, The Incredible Hulk and Get Smart. They were so unique that they are irreplaceable.
One solution is the network RTN, which stands for Retro Television Network. Shows that are no longer on the air are all the network does, even old commercials. Nothing on this network that is less than 20 years old. In fact, all the shows mentioned above can be found on this channel, in addition to shows like Starsky & Hutch and Fat Albert.
There are also new and current series that can be substitutes. For example, if one misses the show Dragnet, Law & Order: SVU might work. Two partners try to solve a crime, mostly by interviewing. It is reminiscent of Dragnet, because it’s the interviews that solve the crime.
Glee can be a substitute for the show Fame, Fringe can replace shows like Sliders and The X-Files and Secrets of the Dead, even though it’s a non-fiction show, could take the place of The Twilight Zone. Also, some older shows have been resurrected, such as Hawaii Five-O and Unsolved Mysteries.
There are options for those who miss the old TV shows.
