TV is shit, but Netflix is bomb. It has most of the PBS and BBC learning docus. Now if they could add the History stuff that's actually history, that'd be cool.
That being said, getting old cuz I'm watching tons of learning documentaries on Netflix...

I remember nick becoming nick at night and then later tvland in the evening. So either you're so old your memory is shot or you just remember a time earlier than I can. Either way you must have been around when dirt was new.

From the almighty and infallible Wikipedia:
“In January 1985, A&E moved to its own dedicated transponder and began delivering its programming 24 hours a day, while Nickelodeon replaced the vacated A&E programming with a classic television block, Nick at Nite, on July 1 of that year. However, some cable providers continued to carry Nickelodeon and A&E on the same channel and would usually switch over to A&E at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. It was not until the early 1990s, when providers began installing advanced headend equipment that allowed for expanded channel capacity, that these companies allocated separate channels for both networks.”
I just checked, and the dirt outside is more than 33 years old. But holy fuck, typing that that was 33 years ago sure turned the hurt on.

Had to check the UHF channels for the good shit like wrestling. Cable was called On Tv and had one fucking channel. The only console was pong. Your dad peeled off a tab to drink beer. Your department store had a diner counter near the clothes . And if you were really lucky a Bobs big boy.
“Because fuck you. That’s why”. Was sticking your quarter on the cabinet right in front of the current player after a bad move but before their game was over.

Watching The Simpsons before they had their own show, they used to have little skits in some awful Tracy Ulman show.

I didn't start to watch the Simpsons until they had their own show, and only found out about the shorts in the early 2000s (never watched but two or three), but hot damn I'm glad Matt Goering either learned to draw better (or more likely outsourced the drawing to someone more qualified).
