I MISS HOLIDAY MARATHONS
I MISS COMMERCIALS THAT WEREN'T JUST TIK-TOK VIDEOS
I MISS TUNING INTO THE RANDOM SHOW THAT AIRED BEFORE THE SHOW YOU ACTUALLY WANTED TO WATCH
I MISS GETTING ONE SEASON A YEAR
I MISS WATCHING SHOWS LIVE AND READING THE DEDICATED /TV/ THREAD BETWEEN COMMERCIAL BREAKS

>>213883677 (OP)
I watch TV with my parents it truly is a simpler medium with less goyslop. You have to seek out the goyslop it doesn't seem out you

BECAUSE UNLIKE US BOOMERS SPEAK WITH THEIR WALLET

we're the generation where we're the product we don't buy the product

return to clippy YouTube has become a Jew psyop and it's to controlling to be worth watching anymore

>you'll never come home from school on a Friday night excited about new episodes of Stargate, Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica on the Scifi Channel
We live in Hell.

>I MISS GETTING ONE SEASON A YEAR
This is the one people are starting to notice the most

>october
>all the episodes are halloween/spooky related
>food network shows all call for pumpkins in the recipes
>AMC playing Halloween classic all month long
>the local channels would play the shitter lesser known Halloween classics

Also if Raw or Smackdown landed on a Halloween that was always kino. Good times man good times

>>213883677 (OP)
Too bad. Now get back to work.

this is such a gay cringe meme. babys first deep thought shit

I only had only public channels growing up, the news, the Hallmark movies, the terrible comedy shows, the romcoms I never had interest in.
I liked a few of the cartoons on cartoon Network and Nickelodeon when I was at my grandparents house and one of the animes was good I remember when I snuck down to watch them late at night, but the rest sucked
When my parents got basic cable later on, I was surprised how much it sucked. All those channels and less likelihood of something good than on the five public channels. Come to think of it, the Looney tunes vhses my grandparents had were better than the cartoons on TV too

>>213884286
>public school poor detected
Pathetic

It is extremely comfy when I'm watching tv at my grandparents house and they still have old school cable. The cable companies are also desperate to match streaming so they offer shit like rewinding live tv, downloading the whole program so you can skip ads so it's a better experience than when we left. still not going to pay 100 dollars a month for that shit though. It's a fantastic background content generator too. Just makes the house feel alive when the tube is on.

>>213883677 (OP)
Remember just turning on the TV and having something immediately on? No pulling up apps?
Remember channel surfing only to find nothing on and then doing it again five minutes later?

>>213884357
No I was homeschooled. Yes we were poor because my mom stayed home, one income.
My mother didn't want us to get brainrot so we also could only play video games by permission on weekends.
Why would you associate cable television with being highbrow? How niggerish was your upbringing?

>>213884363
This is going to blow your mind but they have these things called smart tvs now and you can put any torrented content you want on there with zero ads.

>>213884404
No, I remember channel surfing finding nothing on then playing vidya or playing outside.

>>213883893
Don't forget the local Halloween themed commercials for places like car dealerships and local markets.

>>213884419
Lmao if you can’t afford cable you couldn’t afford anything. Do your parents complain about prices and their social security not covering it? Lmao I bet you know what EBT stands for. What’s it like to rent? Do you “help your parents out” with bills

>>213884286
Dog wtf my public channels were. NBC ABC FOX PBS and Univision.

>>213883893
for me, it was the holiday bumpers

I remember CN's yearly, month long Goosebump marathon
bonus points to the The Hub for their Haunting Hour marathon and Nick for their Are You Afraid of the Dark marathon
>>AMC playing Halloween classic all month long
i watched so many classic movies for the first time during those
>>the local channels would play the shitter lesser known Halloween classics
Scary Godmother, any Scooby Doo movies, and those old in-house LA nick movies
>>213884143
yes

>>213884419
Yikes, I genuinely feel sorry for you. Imagine your parents giving you a bad start in life, and then actively sabotaging you instead of setting you up to succeed. Even niggers at least send their kids to an actual school, sad

>>213883677 (OP)
>I SAGED AND REPORTED THEM. I REPORTED THEM ALL. THEY'RE SHITPOSTERS, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. AND NOT JUST THE JEETS BUT THE BOTS AND THE SHILLS TOO. THEY'RE LIKE NORMIES AND I REPORTED THEM LIKE NORMIES. I HATE THEM

>>213884271
I notice you didn't say it's wrong.

>town is first to trial cable

>>213884404
>Remember just turning on the TV and having something immediately on? No pulling up apps?
Yes, this is how i discovered River Monsters.
>>213884789
My grear-grandpa's house was like this. He would always sit in that aera next to kitchen watching old cowboy movies.
>>213884892

The amount of hours people collectively lost to commercials over the decades is a travesty. I swore off cable back in 2012 just to get the fuck away from the constant ad spam, and I don’t miss it one bit.
