Rebecca, Ian, and Michael

As I've explained before, I watch too much TV already so I don't have cable.   I only get whatever each TV's 'bunny ears' can pick up.  Yesterday, METV, which is a station that only runs old TV shows,  moved location again.  It was on FOX (48.3) for many years.  Last year it moved to ABC (18.3) and now it's on NBC (13.3).  I'm assuming this move is why the display for what is currently showing on those channels is a bit mixed up right now.  When I clicked to 13.3 this morning the heading on the display said the program was Rawhide.  The episode description was 'Two ex-cops are killed, Mannion expects the Russian mob, and defies the FBI to solve the case by himself."  The old TV program Rawhide was based around the western cattle drives circa 1866.  The FBI was created in 1908 and the Russian mobs didn't really come into their own until the Soviet era which was after 1917.  No character on Rawhide named Mannion  but here is one on The District.  So pretty sure that the description has nothing to do w/ the title shown.   Maybe a good case for Perry Mason since the characters moving on screen were Paul, Della, and Perry.
