    TV use to cut off? That right I remember as a kid when tv would go off the air. After 1 am tv use to cut to snow for a couple hours in the early morning.

    Anybody else remeber that?

    Now tv never goes off, if they dont have new shows or re-runs to air they just air commericals, but not just normal commericals but 30 minute long commericals...

    I remember. Especially since I grew up in Brazil. Shit, I remember when my parents first bought a colored TV with a remote control. I was ecstatic!

    Me too, I would watch my cartoons way too early, and I would sneak so I could be by myself with no rules

    We had a black and white TV until I was 4. Then we didn't have a TV for a while.

    I never did mind. When we did have a TV, it was only one channel until I was like 10.

    Then, it was lots of channels, but they were all in Spanish.

    Right now is the first time I ever have a TV in my room in my life. I rarely watch it (watch basketball and discovery shows about ants on it).

    I gave up TV a while ago.

    But uh, vaguely. I always had cable as a tyke. They realized that it was better to put on girls going wild.

    hell yea I do... those were the last fine days of TV.

    I've got an inkling that sleeping with the TV on gives ya subliminal messages now.

    I do remember, though I have very vague memories of me watching tv. I was never a big fan. I preferred talking to my turtles.
