With the right channels I regularly discover amazing movies, series and documentaries that I’d probably never choose to watch if I had access to them on a streaming platform (which I don’t).
The surprise effect is way better and I just think that when used wisely, TV can deliver much more than streaming.
I’m aware of platforms like FilmIn that offer non-commercial content but I still like the channels to suggest me some tmovies to watch.
There is no adblock for classic TV, so it’s unwatchable.
My kids will never know the experience of getting up at 6:00 AM every Saturday to watch Saturday morning cartoons. I also discovered some of my favorite movies while randomly watching late night movies when I couldn’t sleep. But I do not miss commercials one bit.
