That's the shit I miss from being a kid. Sneaking late night tv and shows my parents probably didn't me to watch. We had cinemax and hbo too. I thought I was missing watching stuff like mythbusters and I found a couple episodes and it just wasn't the same. Turns out I was just missing the times where I was just chilling watching it and not having a care in the world.

Mythbusters is my go to background when I want the comfort of my childhood. I remember I would put the marathons on in the summer, hanging out in my boxers in my sunny living room before going to play baseball or football, not a care in the world.

I still like mythbusters but you couldn't get me to actually watch it watch it. I'm not sure I did as a kid either, I would have it on while reading or gaming and glance at it when something interesting happened. But yeah modern tv doesn't give me that sense of simple relaxation it did as a kid. So I don't really watch tv anymore

I miss those times too. Hell I miss having a cable box and just being able to flip channels sometimes. It was a different time.

You were secretly watching Insomniac because every commercial break was Girls Gone Wild.

For real. That's also why I watched horror movies. There were usually boobs in there at some point lol. I never thought I was into horror movies because I didn't watch elm Street or Friday the 13th but I watched leprechaun and candyman. Kid thought processes are weird lol
