I can't even watch most of the crap on SciFi channel (excuse the old spelling, the new one is too stupid for me to accept). TCM breaks out some good ones now and then, especially around Halloween but to most kids that is an old person channel.
In a lot of ways TV has not changed for the better. While I absolutely appreciate the DVR and DVDs which allow me to watch what I want, when I want...I have fond memories of the family coordinating around the TV to watch specific movie night events and especially series like Shogun, Roots and things of that sort.
It gave you a little purpose in life to have your ass home before the show got started. I can still remember my Dad racing us through the pizza so we could be home in time before Battlestar Galactica started.
