The joy of when that Big Screen movie that you never got to see finally comes to the TV. With ad breaks. You absolutely didn’t care about the ads because they were normal at the time. And you had to be there on time to watch it, and make sure nobody else in the house was going to try to watch something at the same time. While I appreciate the huge variety and the ability to binge some great series today, it’s still the same old shit even with all the streaming services: A lot of bad TV, lots of uninteresting TV, with a few bright spots and plenty of ads.
Here in Mexico channel 5 used to play trilogies on Saturday afternoons that’s how I saw the Indiana Jones trilogy, Back to the future and Star wars to name a few when I was a kid.
