You suddenly evoked the dark times of my childhood (and part of adolescence too).
The HORROR.
In my country there wasn’t even a guarantee that the whole series would be rerun. And typically, when it did, it was in an improbable time-slot.
Also, it’s not like when vhs recorders got introduced, the problem went away. Those damn programs would start too early or end too late.
I once missed the penultimate episode of a cartoon series, where it basically happened everything important, and I was so frustrated I strained my shoulder launching a stress ball.
Dark times.
Kids today will never know the pressure we lived through to race home in order to catch a TV episode when it aired. If you missed it you were out of luck. Most shows aired reruns throughout the season, and then during the summer, but you were never guaranteed that *every* episode would be repeated.
I remember watching Get Smart in syndication as a kid and it was a 2-parter with a cliffhanger – Max was tied to a hospital gurney and shot out the back of a moving ambulance. Then our TV died and by the time we got it fixed we had already missed the next day’s episode. I don’t think I ever saw that conclusion. Oh, the pain!
“Right then them Luke boys realized they took the General Lee for too big a jump.”
“Coke is it! The greatest taste you’ve ever found!”
@Hornacek – Friday 8:00 – you did whatever you had to make sure your parents got you back home in time to watch Dukes of Hazzard! No reruns, no recording. Life was tough back then! Never has any generation had it tougher.
Why is she swooning? Peter is out without a sweater! Oh no! He’s such a frail boy!
“I missed this week’s episode of The Beverly Hillbillies! Er, I mean, The Dukes of Hazard!” (swoons, faints)
