TV Rocks

[Dr. Insomniac]

Yeah, and while I get who the main demographic for these channels are as soon as the ads play, so many Humana/Camp Lejeune/Post-Retirement Life Insurance/Social Security Benefits commercials, it's still better than whatever the main local channels have to offer. I can't imagine only having Fox/ABC/CBS/NBC/CW for entertainment, because it's just news, news, a talk show, news, an informercial, news, maybe a rerun of The Goldbergs, news, then a couple hours of primetime shows from TV creators who haven't moved onto doing a streaming show, then news, then a talk show, and so on. It's so much worse than back in the day when either a cartoon afternoon block, or some first-run syndication genre show would shake up the pattern a little. I don't even see Simpsons reruns on Fox weeknights anymore. It's just that barren over there.

I think that's why Billy Mays was a meme back in the 00s, because for whole generations of kids at the time, local TV was just a ghost town, so it was either watching Oxy Clean infomercials or, you know, the news.
