It is only available as streamed on his or similar websites. ABC7 in New York has been airing full reruns, not his latest web developed and fun segments. Kindly message back when you receive this. Keep up the great work. You and your staff are marvelous! - Professor Jan Yablow (Pace University and at home now, Riverdale NY)

You can help us, and do, by pointing out whatever you're watching, anywhere, that you're liking, and posting it as a comment. When things slow down for our poor editors, you might even consider an invitation to write a guest column. -DB
