Connections was first shown on PBS in 1978. The local PBS station
(WNED - Buffalo, N.Y.) happily repeated it last fall. If you put
enough pressure on your local PBS outlet perhaps they will show it
again. It doesn't appear as if the rights have been locked by some
pay-tv/cable operator.

Speaking of repeats... the Buffalo PBS station is showing
Alastair Cooke's America, which originally appeared in 1971.
I fondly remember it from then and I'm glad to say that memory
hasn't failed me. It often takes a foreigner to appreciate a
country.
