My earliest memory of television was seeing Beavis and Butt-Head on MTV. You know, very age appropriate family friendly content, the absolute best thing you can let your 5 year old watch.

ETA: Satellite Chads are welcome!

Cable was never really a thing around here. First memory of satellite was at my grandparents house they had been conned into getting a full package so me and my brother would go over to their house to watch WCW with my granny she loved it.
LOL them satellite companies were such a scam. But the quality of high-bitrate MPEG2 video couldn't be beat. I was blown away the first time I saw DirecTV.
My first concrete memory was of the guide channel showing you what was on all the different channels.
I still remember Fox's channel number and Cartoon Network and Nickelodeons.
I remember Fox having Saturday morning cartoons, and Golden Age Simpsons in the evening.

I was definitely in the Cartoon Network camp, especially during the Cartoon Cartoon era. You could not separate me from the TV screen during Cartoon Cartoon Fridays. But Nick had some good stuff also. Like CatDog.

How dare a furry bring up CatDog. You should be ashamed of yourself @Gargamel.

it wasn't so bad here provided you resisted their upselling, which was scummy as fuck especially to older people. Though for a few years hacked cards for the receivers were easy to get, to unlock all the channels for free and if you had an older receiver they wouldn't even bother to come collect it when you cancelled..
