    The bottom one only plays on sunday afternoons one episode after the other preceded by America’s Funniest Home Videos reruns on ABC Family or w/e the channel name is now.

    • I haven’t watched proper TV in 20 years so I honestly don’t know whether this is actually happening in peoples’ homes. The discovery merger lends too much credence to the possibility. Which reality show completed the enshitification of an already extremely enshitified service? Was it duck dynasty that set the trajectory for [current year]?

        Non primetime television has probably been garbage for longer than it wasn’t. Only difference is that some of the shows they play nonstop were considered good or at least good for background fodder. My mom, for instance, needs something like cable to have on in the background for noise because a streaming service or my hard drive full of shows and movies gives her choice paralysis but putting on reruns of Castle yet again is easy.
