    YES! I used to love watching interview feeds where the person isn't on the air yet, tons of nose picking, swearing, off colour comments, it was addictive.
    Same here! I miss my huge white satellite dish!

      From a nostalgia perspective I think kids miss out on the big build up to watch a show with 24 hour cartoon networks, continuous reruns, tivo, etc.

      I used to really look forward to Saturday Morning Cartoons and exactly what I was going to watch. We don't really watch a lot of tv in my house. If the Cartoon Network or something is on, usually the kids are preoccupied with something else and they are only half paying attention.

      My biggest problem is commercials. The cable companies have done something to make the volume really loud when a commercial comes on and they are so fast paced, I don't really understand what the ad is about.

      There was one clever string of commercials that I can't remember now but it was a story line...I seem to remember it was for a cereal brand and some type of space theme but I can't remember what it is now but even decades later I do remember there was a story line that you followed with each commercial.
