***Thousands of old TV shows and movies are available.****

Sadly so many good add free movie channels (IFC, Sundance, AMC) now show only old TV sitcoms over and over again. I still miss my Samurai Saturdays on IFC.
TCM is the only one I watch any more and it is beginning to show too many modern movies.

In the 1950s a TV show lasted 25 minutes with 5 minutes of commercials cut into it. That is 5 minutes of show for 1 minute of advertisements.

Today it is 2 minutes of show and one minute of advertisements. And the advertisements are packed together you cannot tell what is actually being sold.

I have come to expect that most of these channels will be short lived (for what ever reason). But as old ones go, new ones pop up.
