We had TV Showcase that came with our Sunday paper and covered the week. It had the same station call letters and synopsis layout as TV GUIDE. I also went through the movies with a fine toothed comb and have fond memories of stumbling across titles i had never heard of that were out of the norm (such as seeing the entry "SQUIRM **" with a description like "An army of flesh eating worms invade a small Georgia town". It sounded like the wildest movie i had ever heard of in my life!). I would circle the stuff i wanted to watch with a yellow or light colored marker and when the week was up,i would meticulously cut all the entries out for my own future reference and tape them to sheets of paper. Sadly,my mom found that hobby pointless and messy...and tossed them in the garbage. *sigh*..             Wish i still had them today.

My daughter,with our good sized horror/sci-fi DVD/Blu-ray library and Netflix,doesn't realize how good she has it..but also doesn't realize how much she missed out on.
