The two PBS stations I get on cable have been running old episodes on Sunday >nights. I wonder if they're stilling using old tapes from the '70s. A few
are almost completely faded out. Has anybody else had this problem? Or are
my two PBS stations run by cheap utter filthy swine? Or is it perhaps some >sort of conspiracy?

Our PBS station has been running old episodes occasionally. They
weren't DVD quality but I don't remember them being as bad as you
described.

Our reception here sometimes isn't very good, either. It does look like they're running faded old tapes, which is a shame. I live in a college
town, and I'm trying to make young converts to the cause. I first remember seeing MP on PBS as a kid in the 70s, and the picture and sound quality
were better, as I recall.

Hell, I just went ahead and got the 16 ton set from a guy on eBay for
under thirty bucks...Well worth it...
