Your post made me nostalgic for the Friday/Saturday nights of British comedies that PBS aired. I remember they were a special time to look forward to and see something different than the everyday. I wouldn't want to give up our current ease of access of course, but I still miss the specialness of the time.
An analog was Saturday night, 10am-4am when a local radio station would play music from a dance club without commercials. I got introduced to almost all of my favorite groups at the time that way. It was music one never heard anywhere else on the radio, at least not in Dallas in the mid-80's. And when you ran into a kid at school who also knew who "New Order" was, you were instant friends.
