| 35006 | Mystery Science Theater 3000 | NBC's Saturday Night Live, SNL, forever changed Saturday night television. Letting local TV stations run old B-grade movies all night long just wouldn't cut it anymore.<div><br></div><div>By 1990 Saturday nights became a major battleground in major media markets across the USA and the need for new shows brought a wealth of unusual collaborations and deal making. </div><div><br></div><div>Like I've said many times, what you saw varied with where you live.</div><div><br></div><div>The Seattle region, with its three independent TV stations plus two PBS stations covering the same market - the competition was very fierce.

| 35000 | Clint Eastwood | <p>Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can are two of my favorites. His western are all good, and I really like him and Kevin Costner in A Perfect World. Honkytonk Man was pretty good too. It also had his son in it.</p> | mickyarber | Apr 15, 2017 | |
