I would be interested in this, if only I knew exactly what time it came on...

**MikeyinBrooklyn** · December-01-13, 06:42 PM

Is there a section in the show dedicated to old Detroit commercials? I love all the old ads and jingles. "Get on the right track, to 9 Mile & Mack..." "Oooo-oooo-oooo Deitricht furs..." "Mel Farr, Superstar, for far better deal." Love that stuff.

If the Freep can be believed, Monday, Channel 56, 8 pm.

As a historical Society with a published hardcover, we know the hoops that get jumped through. Our book was published with a grant through MotorCities, but we had to find matching funds etc. We hope to complete a documentary and work on establishing partners as we speak.

You go Ed!

That seems true. According to the Comcast website, it's on Comcast channel 6 from 8 PM to 10 PM. Something else is listed on their other DPTV channels.

Hey, I think I'll record this!

MikeyinBrooklyn,
There will be vintage commercials.
Wingnatic,
Unfortunately, I don't think they will be streaming it.

I still have my official Birdbath Club membership card and pin from the late 1950's. I remember watching him at lunch time on TV. I could do the Soupy Shuffle too!!
