Here's hoping they revive it so I can put it on a DVD.

yeah, i watched it-very good show. but it brought up some memories i'd rather keep buried, mainly go for wands last race.

It's "amazing" that Jim McKay became a sports broadcasting legend, and he did it without the shouting, schtick, and stupidity that infects today's sportscasting . . .
