Don't Touch That Remote! We'll Be Right Back!

Cable TV......what a time! Before streaming services made its way into today's society, people were exposed to the wonders of television that aired at specific times. You either had to be there exactly when your shows came on or you had to record them so you could watch later. Cable TV has had tons of channels targeted at kids to enjoy providing fun shows through animation, live action, puppetry, stop motion, CGI, and so much more. It even sparked interest in other age demographics like teens, college students, and adults. Even if you didn't have cable, there were a few channels who were happy to please your eyes like PBS Kids. Now, I grew up watching multiple channels through my TV and no, it did not rot my brain! It's a myth! There were actually plenty of shows that provided education while still being enjoyable as well as memorable. Things that I do adore through cable were the exciting marathons of your favorite shows, new episodes that came out on Saturday Mornings, and the occasional holiday specials during Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentines Day, Halloween, etc. I can still see a handful of shows I used to watch through streaming platforms, but I'll never forget the feeling I had while watching everything live with silly commercials and promos for future shows and movies to look out for. Also, the quote that's been rammed into everyone's head:

"Hey! Don't touch that remote! We'll be right back after these messages!"
