What’s a guy to do when the powers that be drastically alter his daily schedule?
–––
I am a life long Portland, Or area resident (big whoop) and for as long as I remember Perry Mason came on at noon on KPTV. I would have a daily lunch date with Perry, and the whole crew. A toasted cheese sandwich, tomato soup, and Perry Mason were my daily noon dates.
During the summertime when I was a kid, if I came into the house, I would know what time it was during the noon hour by where the episode was at (pre-murder, murder, pre-trial, trial, epilogue).
Then the program directors have thrown the Perry Mason community of Portland on their ears (what would Tragg say) by moving the reruns of Perry Mason to ch. 49 at 8 am! As if Wanye Garcia isn’t bad enough. KPTV you suck.
Sure all things must change but, dang! No more toasted cheese and Perry?
