662 Along with M*A*S*H, Avalon 17 also shows Hogan's Heroes reruns, which may be even more lacking in cultural intelligibility than M*A*S*H to 25th-century civilians.

Hogan's Heroes? Oh, jeez. If Alan Scott weren't a certified member of the Forces of Good, I'd get to wondering whether he was engaged in some sort of abstruse plot to rot the brains of the good people of Avalon County. As it is, I can only conclude that he has lamentable taste in mid-20th-century situation comedies, or else, he's REALLY cheap about what he picks up on syndication.

(Real-world note; Back when my grandmother in Missouri was still alive, up till 1994, I would go to visit her every summer. The nearest TV stations were in Springfield, Missouri, and at least one of them would be running Hogan's Heroes reruns every weekday every time I was there. She didn't have cable, so we only got those four or five over-the-air stations...and I got mighty tired of Werner Klemperer after a few years of this, I can tell you.)
