I watch a lot of shows on the "History Channel", my favorites "Pawn Stars" and "American Pickers" although neither are totally a Scraper type shows. They do give some perspective on Better than Scrap value of things.
Recently my cable company was doing some repair work and we were without cable for 1/2 of a day. In my house it was like, the end of life as we know it or maybe the end of life literally! Personally I could have went weeks and months, but daughter and GF could not. So out of desperation I hooked up a TV to some old "rabbit ears", I found these on my pile behind the shop (less than 5 min.).
Anyway I was surprised how many channels could be found on free TV, just like it used to be! Entertained myself anyway. One of the first things I discovered was a channel called "Antenna TV" and a "Sanford and Sons episode. This has to be my all time favorite scrapers TV show. I had just forgotten about it and needed the absence of modern cable to remind me of this.
Fred and Lamont the original "Sanitation Engineers". They tell and remind me of a couple of things: 1. It is what it is, Junk with value, 2. We are what we are, no matter what we want to call ourselves, 3. There is no get rich schemes, hard work, commitment and dedication is what works, 4. Family is the most important thing and what really matters.
Long live Rabbit Ears and The old sitcoms.
