I love the idea of a whole population having this shared experience, whatever the reason might be. There’s an unwritten sense of community there. Similarly, growing up in the 80s in India, there was basically one channel and a similar shared sense of community. Everyone remembers certain ads, certain shows, theme songs, certain hosts. Everyone’s Sunday morning routine was watching certain shows. Maybe it’s mostly nostalgia but there is that sense of shared experience that we lack now.
