I've been watching the reruns, and according to the schedule at http://www.pba.com/tvschedule.asp they will be showing old shows every day this month.  A different show every day at 10am EST, this may be what gets me out of bed during my summer vacation.

So far I have caught a few of the Senior events not any regular PBA events.  The couple I have seen Frankie May was dominating with a Teal Rhino Pro and I saw a Beast from his competition on one of the shows.  Pretty neat to see the old guys and the old equipment, some of those boys could really bowl as I am sure they still can.  I have to say though the commentators on the old shows make Dave Ryan and Randy seem like Stuart Scott and Chris Berman though, yes I am talking seriously bad commentating on those old telecasts.

I'd love to see some old 70's and 80's telecasts from ABC w/ Chris Schenkel and Bo Burton!

yesterdays was cool, final walter ray against some kid, first event for the kid and he throws 299 to beat WRW the first match I say was with bob vespi, and  they both were using  the purple rhino pro, in the finals this kid was using a rhino pro purple no spare ball and WRW was throwing a red crush/r I think, really good show, even in 93 the area some of those guys had was unreal.  the kid probably had 8 boards at the break

The finals match was between Bob Learn Jr. and Walter Ray.  Walter Ray opened early on and struck out, until last ball for a 262.

Oh.  I am referring to the one they showed on Saturday.  I think it was Walter Ray's 6th tourney win of the season.

I like seeing some of the newer shows.  I know more of those guys than on the older '93-era shows.  I'm glad they're not showing the senior tour reruns because even as much as I like watching bowling, I had a hard time watching them sometimes.  I really liked the Weber-Haugen Jr. match today, talk about intense.  Not since watching the Bob Learn in Erie show have I seen so much pressure to keep striking.
