I'd argue another angle to it, which is there were fewer channels to choose from back then.
Modern shows aren't just competing to win their timeslot; they're competing against the choice to stream whatever you feel like.
- snuxoll 8y agoMaybe I’m just overly picky, but I am constantly at a loss as to what I want to watch. My wife gets more use out of our streaming services than I do, as I have mostly watched or own digital copies of everything I care about - so I get more use out of Hulu, Crunchyroll/VRV and iTunes to keep on top of current shows. I think the era of strictly scheduled programming may be coming to an end, though there’s still people who like to channel surf - but I think the networks could find something in the middle if they tried (especially as somebody who doesn’t like the binge model that Netflix operates on).
