I remember when television was good* like, 2.5 hours of the week, tops. And most of that was Saturday morning.

*for a very limited value of "good"

This is still mostly true. It's just that you only realize it when stuck somewhere like a hospital with no cellphone or other device and whatever injury/illness makes it so that you can't really do anything but lie there with the TV on.

Children of Blood and Bone is already a (pretty good) YA novel, but you can't make the title from that chart.

There was America's Got Talent in the 80s, it was called Star Search.

Looking at the Wikipedia page, the only name of a winner that I recognize is Brad Garrett who went on to be the brother on Everybody Loves Raymond.

Who won male singer in 1983? This guy:

37 here and I remember this... Up until 1997 all my parents had was broadcast TV. And being surrounded by trees and smack in the middle of 3 major TV markets meant no channel was particularly strong. Only 3-6 where watchable depending on time of the year. And that was with the antenna on a 30ft tower.

Our TV lineup from late spring to early fall consisted entirely of NBC, CBS, and one station with no network affiliation that just ran syndicated shows.

It sucked.

We had an extensive VHS collection though!

I remember when the third network began broadcasting in my remote North-west Australian area.

Prior to that, we could enjoy whatever the national broadcaster (ABC) put on, or whatever the regional private broadcaster put on. At least in those days the ABC was actually funded well enough to provide some well-rounded programming, but if you didn't have a membership to the local video rental store or or an NES, you were boned for on-screen entertainment.

Yeah there where nearly daily trips to the local video rental store. Which oddly enough my cousin ended up buying about 15 years ago and still owns and operates to this day!

My grandparents could afford a giant C Band dish that got 25 (!!!!) channels. They recorded a ton of movies off HBO to VHS tapes at SLP/EP speeds (ugh). So a lot of those were borrowed. Even though the picture quality was terrible, it was something to watch!

Talent shows aren't reality TV*, and have probably existed for hundreds if not thousands of years.

*) Although I think they've added reality TV elements/segments/spin-offs at some point to make the things unwatchable.

Oh about 4 channels, I remember when we had two-and-a-half. The third one had a time slot on channel 2 (I think) and that was the only time we had commercials on TV. Good times, but it wasn't the 2000s. The 2000s had Moon TV and Rakel's Fuckschool. Still bummed about them not airing the assfuck episode; still have no idea how to assfuck.

Ah, rural Australia. I remember we eventually got an extra antenna that could pick up the city channels... sometimes. I'd spend my mornings desperately praying it'd pick up Cheez TV well enough to watch Pokemon.

I lived in Sydney but in a valley. People had 20m high antennas to get 7 / 9. At no point was only getting ABC upsetting. Pay tv has always sucked.
