I watch
Matlock about as often as I watch
Hunter, i.e. not at all. Have you forgotten - or maybe I forgot to mention - that I do not have television?
If in your question above:
@on all change 'Matlock reruns' to 'YouTube videos' ¹
the answer is, 'yes, sometimes.'

I once wrote the producers of
T. J. Hooker after seeing the show when it first ran that, in their episode where Hooker visits Tijuana to assist Mexican police in apprehending someone wanted in the U.S. that:
(1) When Hooker and a Mexican cop are interrogating a suspect in front of a theater in Tijuana, in the traffic moving behind them was an RTD bus. (RTD was the main bus company in Los Angeles and LA County.)
(2) The streets of Tijuana were fairly clean. (I've been to Tijuana, the streets are routinely filthy with dirt. I think they only clean the streets once every
other February 29, if even that often.)
I believe I got a letter back, thanking me for my observations.
