They filmed an episode in my town and the one next door. They got jobs in a paper mill. My grandfather and uncle worked in that mill.
One of the very early episodes was filmed in the area around my old southern Ohio home town. I remember they hired some members of the local amateur theatrical group to perform as bit players. It was a really big deal at that time as nothing exciting ever happened there.
 
I hit that 218 channel once in a while if I remember. I was on channel 132 yesterday. (No commercials) They were playing some old B thriller movies all day. Amazing how often Tokyo must have been rebuilt! I like DISH, except I can't watch the Penguins or Pirates without having to pay for some kinda streaming service. (Not like I'm missing anything!) I vaguely remember Route 66. Wasn't that about a couple guys from the Beat generation driving around in a Corvette or something? Or was that 77 Sunset Strip I'm thinking of?

Jeff, Route 66 was indeed the two guys driving around in their Corvette, working odd jobs . 77 Sunset Strip was about 2 PIs in Los Angeles.
 
tried to look ahead to next Thursday, but it wasn't listed. Which may not mean anything with dish's sometimes lackadaisical programming info.
 
We just cut a deal today for a year with dish network I just hope they remember us when they take over Jeff
