     No, she passed to Rainbow Bridge several years ago.   
     The landlord, who took over shortly before, doesn't allow pets so she was   
   the last one.

     I'm sure you will find a lot of shows you would like.   
     The OTRR library has the sound, certified series, in order, etc.

     I've seen a few new shows, (post 2000) but they seem to use to many   
   special effects and whiz bang graphics for me.  Same with movies.

     Ah, the good old days.  :)

     I am often able to follow a program with just the sound.  I can imagine   
   the character driving somewhere, for example, without watching him drive   
   somewhere.  That was developed listening to OTR.    
     Sometimes programs are just radio with pictures.  :)   
     Now watching a detective/mystery show video is important when revealing a   
   unspoken clue for example.   
     People are constantly amazed I don't even own a tv set.   
      
   > Do you subscribe to a package of old shows? I see ads constantly for one   
   here, but $4/month extra for TV is a waste, to me. . .   
      
     Nope, only free ones.
