The show is "Prisoners of Gravity" and has Commander Rick (aka Rick Green)
as the sole occupant of some earth-orbiting bootleg television broadcast
station. Rick's "illegal" broadcasts invade TV Ontario's signal at irregular
intervals (at least I haven't yet figured the pattern). Subject matter is
sort of a visual fanzine for the state of the art for movies/literature
in Comics/Science-fiction/Fantasy. Should your recreational proclivities
run in such direction(s), it is definitely worth a look-see (if you can
discover when it's going to be on, that is).
