We used to have shared cultural events. If you wanted to watch a thing, you had to watch it at its designated time (or record it to watch later, I got pretty good with my VCRs timer functions). With streaming and with some shows being dumped all at once, we lost that. I much prefer the weekly schedule for this reason.

Back when even cable TV was only like 30 channels and there was no internet, if something big went down that was cool, everyone tuned it or had to miss out. I remember a documentary special on the Discovery Channel (it used to only be about animals and the planet) that I think damn near every kid in my school watched, and it wasn't even shark week.
