You must be a youngster! When I was a kid there were only the three network channels, and one or maybe two local stations. Every local station had some insipid clown, super hero or train engineer showing five or six different 30 year old Popeye cartoons, again and again and again, to a live audience of screaming brats right about the time school was out. The afternoon TV menu was that, soaps or some tedious talk show. Black and white tube sets with rounded picture tubes, crappy reception with rabbit ears. Yes, there was Walter Cronkite and Gunsmoke but there was also Dialing for Dollars, Big Time Wrestling, Queen for a Day. 'Twas ever thus...I'll stick with my 93" big screen, Great Performances on PBS in HD and the Sopranos, thank you very much.
