As of Veterans Day last year (11/11/2023), there were 119,550 World War II veterans remaining of the 16.1 million Americans who fought in the war* - and we lose 131 every day.
Meaning we're probably down to just a smidge over 100K today.

back in the day i love loved SCTV late night on saturday on channel 9 in ny. growing up as a kid, it was humor that came right up my alley. so many greats from that show and people don’t even really know it existed. i still remember eugene levy, john candy, catherine o’hara, andrea martin and that small guy whose name escapes me. classic

I support Moranis entire catalog - was just guessing which SCTV fella he was referencing while throwing out a SCTV joke.....
Chemical X
Footballguy
yeah, moranis. i am way old now, but i remember the opening with the TVs being thrown out windows and crashing on the street. crap, i forgot dave thomas. the larry seigel show, yuri, basically anything john candy. i never see it on tv or in reruns anywhere and it is mostly forgotten imo but man, the sketches and talent were right up there with SNL.

crushing your head was a skit that Mark McKinney did on Kids on the Hall. I don't know if that's belljr's confusion, but that was my confusion as to how it ties in to SCTV.

He had a rough start being part of the Midnight Massacre but became a bright spot on the team during some very lean years.

NY and LA both had the same lineup on analog VHF (2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13) because that was the "maximum" allotment in the olden days. You couldn't have channels numbered right next to each other on the dial because of cross-channel interference (if you lived in Fairfield County, CT, for example, you'd sometimes get WTNH-8 bleeding over onto WABC-7 if the weather was just right, so you'd see a ghost image and since both were ABC it'd be like seeing double). So the major cities got the "odds" and the cities in between got the "evens" to spread out the dial. There's an "invisible" channel between 4 and 5 reserved for non-TV use, so, you could put those two adjacent and get an extra station in the mix.
No one had both a 3 and 4, though, being next to each other, so that's how the old video game tuners could be sure to have one or the other free.

Really good info here. In my area it was 2 4 7 9, with 11 and 13 sometimes coming in from the next city. The only time 5 came into play was later when HBO had house antennas to get HBO without cable, which the neighborhood had not been wired for yet. My neighbors each got one on their house, which allowed us to get a fuzzy but free version.SoCal?

Yep far enough away to squeeze in between on the "evens", wouldn't interfere with anyone living in the middle

They were out of new york. They were definitely part of some cable systems in the philly area. I had them in the philly suburbs in PA.
9 had the Mets games and 11 had the Yankees.
