Dish Network Channel Guide - September 23rd, 2005 (a glimpse into TV in the Fall of 2005)

Описание: Going through my old VHS tapes, I found this: a tape recording of a broadcast of Stargate Atlantis/Battlestar Galactica from September 23rd, 2005. The start of the recording shows me pulling up the Dish Network channel menu and scrolling through to find the Sci-Fi Channel. I guess I didn't know the channel number off hand, but this provides a quick glimpse into what the channel line up was like (along with what shows were airing) during late night in the Fall of 2005, which I find fascinating.

The time shown here is a few minutes before 11 pm CST (12 Midnight EST). As I recall, I missed the earlier 8 pm / 9 pm broadcast and so technically what I was getting set to record was the rebroadcast (aka the West Coast Broadcast) of Stargate Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica.

So here's some notable glimpses into what was airing around Midnight in 2005 (and I'm just going to focus on channels I might've been interested in at the time):

1. TV Land: Night Court, Cheers, Sanford & Son
2. Comedy Central: "The Showbiz Show with David Spade", South Park, Mind of Mencia
3. Food Network: Iron Chef, Emeril Live
4. A&E: American Justice, Star Wars: Empire of Dreams (2004 documentary)
5. History Channel: Mail Call, UFO Files
6. AMC: Alien Resurrection, Psycho
7. TNT: The Mask, The Cable Guy
8. TBS: "The 6th Day" (a forgotten "Ah-nuld" movie from 2000)
9. Nick at Night: The Cosby Show, Roseanne
10. Nick at Night West: Danny Phantom
11. Disney Channel: That's So Raven, Phil of the Future, Kim Possible
12. Disney Channel West: "The Country Bears" (2002 family movie)
13. Toon Disney: X-Men (the '92 cartoon), Power Rangers S.P.D., Get Ed
14. Boomerang: Flintstones, Batman (the Animated Series), Superman (the animated series)
15. Cartoon Network: The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Naruto, Zatch Bell
16. Nicktoons TV: The Angry Beavers, The Ren and Stimpy Show
17. Discovery Channel: MythBusters, Dirty Jobs
18. G4: X-Play, Anime Unleashed
19. Fox News: The O'Reilly Factor, Special Report with Brit Hume
20. And finally, the Sci-FI Channel (which is what I was looking to record): Star Gate Atlantis, BattleStar Galactica, Andromeda

Sorry if this was a bit of an unusual upload, but I found it unique. Next up is commercials from that Stargate Atlantis/Battlestar Galactica broadcast.
