But lets be honest. You were young for most of it. You weren't engrained to sit down at this exact time, with the family to watch one episode. It's funny how spoiled we are these days. Everything at the tips of our fingers in seconds.
I still remember watching the final episode of Fresh Prince of BelAir with my family. I know I'm not as old as you, but I still remember my childhood of being engrained with watching TV shows at certain times, and you better not miss it because there was no DVR or ondemand. You'd have to catch the re-air, which required finding the right time to sit in front of the TV still. You'd have to look at the TV Guide magazine to figure this stuff out.
True but as a kid you would watch by your dad's needs mostly. Today, When you pick, you have cart blanch every night.
Right, because the idea of having a TV in every room was flat abSURD. One TV in the main room. MAYBE a second one in the basement or my parents bed room. 13 channels, but not really; 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13 at my house, and 2 were repeats (2 and 3 were CBS, 7 and 8 were ABC. NBC was 4, but the local affiliate was on 30, which we didn't get very well. 5, 9 and 11 were local NY stations (I forget what 5 was but Wonderama was on it, 9 was WOR and had the Mets, and 11 was WPIX and had the Yankees). Channel 13 was PBS out of NJ, and had Sesame Street and Electric Company.
