This can't be happening. E.T. twice in a row? So much for news or the White Sox or even a MASH rerun. They should rename themselves a not-so-Super-station.


By the way, did anyone ever spend the $$ on the Atari E.T. video game? For the record, I didn't...

The Tribune Company was just sold by the private family that owned it for years and years. Welcome to mega-media ownership!!!

(Time-Warner is buying the Weather Channel so watch for it to go down the tubes just like WGN Superstation)

If I could, I would. It's only the worst video game of all time.

No. That title should go to the Raiders of the Lost Ark for the Atari 2600.

Tonight on WGN NSSS (Not So Super Station), an hour of WKRP in Cincinatti & and hour of the Honeymooners.

Wow! Programming that will no doubt bring the viewership to new heights! (not!)

I fear that next year, WGN will go the way of the Braves and stop showing games on WGN altogether. :(

We just spent a weekend in Cincinnati, at the downtown Westin. It is across the street from the fountain shown in the beginning of WKRP in Cincinnati. I have been wanting to see the opening of the show again.

Then I can see Ralph send Alice "To the moon".

Isn't that the game where you'd walk from screen to screen and randomly fall into a giant hole? If so, I agree, it is the worst game of all time.
