    Reminds me of when I was in daycare and one of the workers watching over us when we were playing outside asked me what my favorite TV show was.

    I said Seinfeld and he got a very concerned look on his face. He had to ask some follow-up questions to determine I didn’t really understand what was going on and I just enjoyed the vibes of Kramer being goofy and George freaking out.

  • I have to assume it was like 1am and the programming block was on Nick At Night.

    I used to watch Get Smart, F Troop, Bonanza, and Gilligan’s Island on Nick At Night growing up. I know at some point they started showing Sienfeld and Friends and Will and Grace on it after I grew up. I wouldn’t be surprised if shit like Modern Family or Big Bang Theory was played on Nick At Night these days. Or at least all the stuff that used to be on TGIF like Family Matters and Step by Step.

    My dad likes putting on Looney Tunes for our pet rabbits when they go to sleep at night. I jokingly suggested it to my mom and then she started doing it. After Mom passed dad kept it up.

      They show Big Bang Theory reruns now. That ended 7 years ago.

      Channel Drift ruins everything.

          Has it been that long?

          Also, I meant recently as in the last decade. When I was a kid, Nick at Nite was stuff like I Love Lucy and Bewitched. Yes, I’m old.

            IDK when you grew up, but I was born in the late 80s and saw both as a kid on Nick @ Nite. I Love Lucy in the 90s, Fresh Prince in the 2000s.

              Born in the early 80s. I don’t remember Fresh Prince on there as a kid, I watched it when it was airing on its first run.

                I was 2-years-old when Fresh Prince first aired, which explains your perspective. The show wasn’t relevant to my tastes until I saw it as a teenager in the 2000s.

                I don’t know why Nick @ Nite skipped several decades of television, going straight from 50s and 60s shows in the 80s & 90s to 90s shows in the 2000s, but it worked out for my childhood enjoyment so I’m not complaining. It would also help explain why I’m not really into 70s and 80s culture at all.

                  It’s cause Viacom does not want you to know about how good Norman Lear sitcoms were (All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Maude, Good Times, Sandford and Son, etc.). Going from those to whatever the 80’s had on really makes you think that Regan ruined everything.

    I have the TV on for my pets too.

    I like to find old sitcoms for them to watch, or family guy, bob’s burgers and king of the hill, but not the simpsons
