A new channel called Jones! launches May 13.

I can't wait. It's showing programs which haven't been on tele over here in years. Some of programs include:

It ain't half hot mum
Dad's Army
Porridge
Open All Hours
The Sweeney
Happy Days
Cheers
Columbo
The Wonder Years
Mork & Mindy
The Bionic Woman
Kojak
Charlie’s Angels
Bonanza
Thunderbirds

Basically just an epic mix of various british and us shows. Finally we get a channel dedicated to this stuff!

I wish they'd run some Alf Garnett too. I'm happy they're playing "It Ain't Half Hot Mum". They're asking for suggestions on their facebook page. I'm thinking of suggesting Last of the Summer Wine, as UKTV only plays the lackluster and terrible final 3 series, when the early stuff is classic.

I like Thunderbirds, but I really want them to play the follow up series Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons and maybe it's precursor Stingray, as I enjoy them much more.

I've got some of them on dvd, like Thunderbirds and Porridge, but others like Happy Days are incomplete, with only the first four seasons released on DVD.

Basic package, which is all we have here. Channel 13. A preview is up now.

True, although I struggled to watch some Season 4 episodes of Happy Days and I wouldn't want to watch those post-Richie/Ralph episodes in a hurry. Couldn't stand Chachi, Flip, etc.
