Yes, IowaPBS is currently in their funding campaign, so may not have elected to not show the Red Green. And as they tend not to adhere to a tight schedule then if you plan to record might want to start early and end late to be sure to get all of the show. > MP> They are currently into a season of "The New Red Green Show," > MP> which I think was what it was called for a while in the early > MP> 1990's. At some point, they drop the "new" from the title. It > Same show, just no longer 'new'! MP> Thing is, it was not the first season then, either, I don't MP> think.

May have been part of a joke: (grocery) products will add (or subtract) something like a scent and call the product 'new and improved'. > MP> * SLMR 2.1a * A man attempting to walk around the world DROWNED > MP> today.. --- SBBSecho 3.10-Linux > Apparently he flunked Geography.
