RFD TV?

Does anyone else get RFD TV on your cable or satellite? I wondered, because they usually have quite a few shows about vintage tractors & farm equipment, and I couldn't think of anyone here who might enjoy such a thing. We like the horsemanship shows and old-time music programs on it, too.
 
We get it on Direct TV ... #379 .. it's a hoot. Where else on tv can you watch 54 uninterrupted minutes of amateur video footage of a freight train in greely colorado and absolutely no dialog.

Now thats television.... the way it was meant to be. You wanna hear somebody talk for 30 minutes about tyrolean aphid killing slug larvae, WHAM!!! channel 379 and last but no way in hell least,

WHERE CAN YOU WATCH VIDEO OF YOUR NEIGHBORS GRANDPARENTS POLKA-ING THEIR FLABBY WRINKLED ASSES OFF IN TERRA HAUTE INDIANA IN 1967.

Seeing the dates on the Big Joe Polka show, I calculated that with an error ratio of less than 1%, 97% of the humans on that show have moved on to greener pastures.

NOW THAT IS TELEVISION!

Rural Free Delivery Television!~!!!!!!!
 
I love my (for now) cable internet, but, I absolutely hate cable TV. No RFTV among many other things. :mad:

My wife would walk past when I had the cattle auctions on and just roll her eyes. That was worth the price of admission by itself.
 
We get it on DISH channel 9409. That's so far off the normal "surfing" range that I usually forget about it unless I have a lot of time on my hands.

Don't forget " WEED OF THE WEEK ":yum: :yum: :yum:

I like the Dutch Oven cooking show too
 
I haven't watched RFD-TV in quite a while. Most of the time I forget about it. As Don said, being on channel 9409 in is quite a ways outside my normal range of channel surfing. I did catch their John Deere "special" a couple times. That show drives me crazy. The people on there are nothing but a bunch of drivel spewing puppets. When I watch the show, I keep wondering (and to an extent hoping) someone will call in an ask what model would compare to a Kioti CK20 or Mahindra 2015.:D:yum::D

OH MAN!!!!!!

CAMPFIRE CAFE!!!!!!!!!

Last week, I actually understood three words he said:
1. "Y'all"
2. "rye-cheere" ("right here" I believe)
3. "tungemupreelgoot" (not sure on this one but maybe "turn them up real good")

Umm ... although his cooking is acceptable in a non-cardio kinda way, and he appears to work out of his rather exorbitent home, and he cooks on all that expensive campfire ironwear -- actually and silently, I think this person should be jailed for linguistic butchery.

A southern drawl or a texas twang, etc. is one thing, -- his is in a category all its own ...

:puke1:

I grew up in the Greeley area. You have to understand there is not much to do there. I imagine the locals like seeing their area on TV.

Some of the RFDTV programming is ok. The wife and I enjoy Texas Country Reporter. RFDTV also introduced us to Baxter Black.
 
I'd started thsi thread back before we had our freaky snowstorm that knocked the power out. After a couple of days of no internet, I forgot I'd posted it. ("Old age" sux!) The husband's a train nut, so he sits glued to the screen when they show "54 uninterrupted minutes of amateur video footage of a freight train in greely colorado." Just imagine: people actually buy video like that! Of course, he's also addicted to the prospecting shows on the Outdoor Channel, so he's a bit daft in the first place.

Somehow I have managed to miss the dutch oven show; since my mom-in-law gave me one and I have no idea what to do with it, I should probably try to catch the show and hope I can translate Mr. "tungemupreelgoot" into standard English. We did catch Ms Lucy (the Cajun cooking lady) for the first time the other day. She has to be the least coon-a$$-sounding Cajun I've ever heard. (And I've heard a few, cher.) Still, the veggie-hating husband admitted that her Chicken Sauce Piquant sounded edible. And anyone who can cook a good mess of mustard greens is all right in my book.

The best episode (and oddest combination of subjects) of an RFD show I've caught lately was a Bluegrass & Backroads that had segments on miniature donkeys and Bert & Bud's Vintage Coffins. I actually emerged from the computer room long enough to watch it. Caskets and cuddly critters.... Now, that's television!
