Wow those cable listings make me really nostalgic. Airing obscure shows like "Apple's Way" and "Second Hundred Years"? And Disney airing the British film classic "Life and Death of Colonel Blimp"?

There are certain programs I'd never heard of for which I couldn't find info online. For instance, "R.W." on HBO. (That wasn't from an abbreviated grid, either; it's presumably the full title of the show.)
