Well at least you had 4 channels. I had one with two others that were
essentially moving snow that talked.
I DVR what I like (or use the episodes already stored by the streaming
service).
If I start looking, frequently it will take me longer to choose something to
watch than it takes to watch it.
I wish someone would curate content for me. Netflix says they try to
suggest things for me but I never seem to like what they suggest. Seems
like they used to be better at it than they are now. Now they are trying to
push their own content or perhaps they are engaging in somekind of pay to
play payola/plugola scheme with other content providers.

Am I the only one that goes to streaming services always looking for a
specific show/movie? Or opens Google maps to always to plot an
address. Do all those "We think you might like..." or "Everyone else is
watching..." actually work? They just make me super annoyed. Maybe
it's because I was raised in a house where channel surfing wasn't
allowed. "Stop flipping the channel, you're going to break the TV!" So
you always started your TV watching with a plan in mind. Of Course, I
only had 4 channels to choose from, and you had to get up and walk
across he room to flip the channel. Google Maps has gotten really bad
as of late, really REALLY wanting to tell you what's close by whenever
you open it. Back in my day you pulled out the atlas to find the roads
to take on vacation, not to see that there are 4 restaurants, 17 coffee
shops, and 2 gas stations within walking distance of your location, and
tonight there's a film festival at the local movieplex.
