Even with that, they're presenting the episodes the same way WGN did even with the different episodes.

Actually, on a lot of the episodes that Bounce has been airing, they've been airing them completely uncut. For instance, at the Scramble Board, on a lot of the episodes, you actually see pictures of the prizes they win such as the year's subscription to Jet and Ebony magazine, the Pro-line hair products, and the portable radio with the one speaker and the cassette player. I even saw one with a portable 8 Track player. WGN used to cut that part out and go straight to them moving the letters on the board. And Centric was the world's worst at chopping up the episodes. They used to cut part of the intro and then go to a commercial right after the first performance and do the interview when the commercials ended. Bounce has been pretty good at airing them in their entirety.

Ah OK. Well that is different.

ST didn't come on today. They showed 2 episodes of Rosanne in its place.

Now, that's one I wanted to see and wouldn't you know they would show the damn thing during the drive time home from work so it's already halfway over when I get home and can't record it. But let me be off work on a Saturday and be sitting there with a VCR tape ready to record and they'll show something I've already recorded every single damn time.

Run-DMC & Dazz Band again. There's a dancer with a Darth Vader helmet, old man mask, and a Spiderman outfit on.

It's The Heart Of Rock 'n Roll video by Huey Lewis & The News. I remember this song was played constantly on the radio.

This one is different, Johnnie Taylor & Klymaxx.

They're showing a Sade video, Hang On To Your Love.

Missed this episode today, but I do love that Sade song!

Thank you for the recent updates.

It is a shame that BET or MTV does not do at least a

once-a-week broadcast of a quality Soul Train episode

as a way to educate viewers about the trends, styles,

and enjoyable qualities of R&B music from prior decades

in the way those things were experienced when all of that was new.

There was, at least, a 2010 or 2009 MTV special on the subject of Soul Train.

Thank goodness that Bounce is keepin Soul Train alive

in several cities and for people who have not been handcuffed by cables systems that do have

Bounce TV. Keep up the good info.

^^Bounce is a regular TV station. I don't know what's on cable/satellite because I don't have it.

Today's show has been shown a few times already, Levert & James Ingram + the music video for Dancing On The Ceiling by Lionel Richie.

They're starting to creep back into the later shows, Babyface is on right now.

Madonna's Who's That Girl video is on.

5 Star is the second guest.

Karyn White and Jody Watley were on the AM episode ... mmmm, mmm.

They're showing the Money For Nothing video from Dire Straits/Sting. I've seen this episode.

Now they're showing two episodes in a row after not showing any the past week (at least not the afternoon ones). But this one is the James Ingram/Levert episode again for the 7th or 8th time. The guests on the previous one mentioned above were 5 Star & Sheila E. The 1st song on this one is Sweet Freedom by Michael McDonald.

Uh oh, they were doing good for a while even though it was mostly episodes already shown. This one features Nick Cannon (also shown before), so it's 2000's. I can see why Don quit appearing as host during this period. The episode before this one was Johnnie Taylor & Klymaxx.

Puff Daddy & Lenny Kravitz made a song? They're showing the music video for it. I didn't watch this episode when it was shown before. When they announced the guests the previous time, I turned it off.

This one features George Benson & Patti Austin + a clip from an older show by The Floaters.

Right now, Bounce is showing Thank God It's Friday. I've never seen this movie, but I have the soundtrack for it.

They're dancing to Jesse Johnson's She on the Soul Train line. Rosie Perez is one of the dancers.

That Rosie Perez dance performance was available in suburban Chicago area for a

couple of months in the late summer/early fall.

She does a good job of making love to the camera while she does her dance.

Thankfully, there were plenty of other women who had this talent

during the entire history of Soul Train.

Well hell, I've been wanting to record that movie. That's OK though because knowing Bounce, I'm sure they'll show it again real soon.
