Alexikakos, except those kids weren’t around in 1992 when 57 Channels came out.
Where I live (born and raised here), 4 channels is exactly right and it took an antenna rotor to get them all. One from each network and one independent station.
There was a good “Thatababy” recently where the evil TV was trying to force him to watch it, and bragging about all the channels, but he turned it off to do something creative instead. Ah, the wisdom of little babies……..
Brevity is not only the soul of wit, it's also not your normal comics fare. In the hands of Dan, it is sharply intelligent, amusingly idiosyncratic and often uproariously funny.

Now we have thousands of stations to bore into our self-esteem, income and peace-of-mind.

I’m lucky…. ever since we went digital, I only get one channel.
So now I can get bored with it a lot more quickly…. and with less effort.

In the UK, in the 60s, BBC and ITV but it was still new.

ABC, NBC, CBS & 2 fuzzy UHF channels which naturally had the better shows….

When I was very poor, going to a cheap taco place on Friday night was a big deal. Pong was amazing at first.

We had just the 2, except during a storm, when we would have a different 2.
