Stuff To Do, Post 2: A couple of my interests...

More material just to pass the time:
  • If you are an old game-show fan, Fremantle Media has a free channel, called BUZZR, deep in the digital networks of many major cities of a number of the game shows it owns.  Match Game, Family Feud (Dawson era, some Combs, a little bit of the later stuff, no Harvey -- that's on GSN!), Tattletales, Press Your Luck, etc.  They also stream their channel online on their own website.  And here is their schedule for the next seven days.
  • One of the many companies which has a Twitch channel is the NBA.  Now, there is nothing on there now, and I just threw a Tweet at the NBA to see if they have any plans going forward to do marathons of classic games or whatever.  If they do, here's their Twitch channel.
  • I'm not going to make you pay the $4.99/month if you don't want to (especially with no worldwide sports to speak of for the foreseeable some of the non-foreseeable!), but if you already have ESPN+, they have everything from official Masters videos of the last 60 years to UFC highlights to highlight reels of classic NFL games to their entire 30 For 30 series, etc. and so forth and so on.
  • Basically that can also apply for the $9.99/month for the WWE Network or the 999 yen/month (billable on the 1st, no matter when you start, unlike ESPN+ or the WWE Network) of NJPW World for all of their respective classic content.
  • The Social Distancing Tecmo Super Bowl Simulation is now in Week 16 -- will probably head to playoffs some point in the morning, and Super Bowl Social Distancing will be some point later in said morning.  
  • BTW, they're using 1991 as their year of reference.  That was Giants over Bills in the second Boy I Love Losing Superbowls Era.  Houston, Kansas City, the Giants, San Francisco, and Chicago have all won their divisions in this CPU v CPU simulation.
  • Also deep in the digital networks (free channels, substations of the main channels you know of, accessible on your HDTV):  Antenna, MeTV, Heroes and Icons, and a number of other old-school program channels.  For example, six nights a week on Heroes and Icons is Star Trek night.  One episode of original series, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and I'm not sure about Enterprise.  If you are so inclined, scan your HDTV antenna through the TV and get a look at what you might have!
I'll keep looking for more.
