    Worse? Clearly you don’t remember the days when if you got home at 6:15, you would miss half of your show. Or the days where the only option if you wanted a specific channel was to subscribe to an expensive bundle that included 8 other channels you didn’t want.

    Advertising has gotten so much worse, but everything being on-demand is miles better than what we used to have.

      Never dealt with missing shows, as I learned how to set my VCR to timer record when I was like nine

        Ah, kids and their fancy new VCRs. Back in my day you had to be on time and make the kids wiggle the rabbit ears just right.
