lmao, life forcing you to miss things builds character! Makes you a better problem solver. I successfully faked being sick twice so I could stay home and watch Flight 29 Down instead of going to church...

Honestly, if I had nothing but my country's version of DVR growing up I probably would've been fine. Less distractions, more time for books...and people.

Yup. There's a lot of alternatives available. The only wait that drove me kind of crazy was Better Call Saul, partly 'cause Bob Odenkirk's heart attack gave me an existential crisis about dying before I got to see the final season lol. Not exactly the biggest thing I'd miss out on if I died but still...

It was a pain in the ass but man, I miss it. The good ole days (like 2005), when TV viewing was a community experience. Not just online - real life sitting down with the family, talking about it at school the next day type deal.

The anticipation was fun, and limited options meant being super invested. I remember the devastation of missing an episode of Prison Break, then making my best friend put on a one woman show describing what happened lmao...
