I saw De Carlo perform "I'm Still Here" on the Tonight Show; this was before Johnny Carson moved operations out to Los Angeles. It was also the first time I ever heard the song (I hadn't bought the OCR yet). Because I wasn't familiar with it at the time, I can't say for sure that she sang the number without messing up the lyrics, but it came across like she got everything right. And it was mesmerizing.

And of course, on the 4 occasions I saw Follies (once I'd become familiar with the score), she never screwed up "I'm Still Here."

Yeah, it would be nice if that would turn up. Old Carson episodes do get shown on Antenna (though looking very odd at the wrong aspect ratio), but I don't think the ones shown there go back that far in time.

Alan, have you tried adjusting that by pressing the "format" button (or equivalent) on your TV remote?

Yes, I've tried that. I have it set so that it's supposed to do that automatically, and it does do it for almost every station but it doesn't do it for Antenna. Some months ago I tried seeing if there was anything extra that might work for Antenna. Actually, I haven't watched Antenna now in a while. So I just took a look, and as it turned out The Tonight Show is on. With everyone's heads cut off. :)

Maybe I should call Spectrum tech support, but I think I've done that and they were no help.

That is really unfortunate if their signal is going out in such a way that it overrides any attempt to return the 4:3 aspect ratio programs to that format.
