Also a lot of you zoomers don't know, but many gen X and Millennials knew about shows from the 50s and 60s cause all the way to the late 90s and early 2000s a lot of them old 50s and 60s shows were shown in syndication.

So you could be a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s and know all the characters on a 50s show like honey mooners or I love Lucy cause it was shown in syndication. Or know shows from the 60s and even early 70s. Syndication TV was huge back then before all these cable shows just started to show movies and reality tv shows to fill in time slots.
I used to catch mostly shyt from the 70s, the oldest stuff I saw was probably looney toons, Tom and Jerry, three stooges, and whatever them black and white shows was called
One with this white family and the Andy Griffith show, I love Lucy, dikk van dyke, I guess twilight zone also counts as old shyt

Right. I was just thinking about this.

This generation of kids have probably never watched reruns.

They can just watch a constant stream of new material.

I've gotten to the point where I don't watch reruns anymore either
Gunsmoke, Bewitched, I Dream of Genie, Lil Rascals, Perry Mason, Leave it to Beaver, Dennis....

Do they even play reruns anymore?

I tried to ask folks, but no one I know still watches regular TV.
Not on any regular TV channels.

When I was growing up Fox and other networks played reruns, especially during the day, but now, it's all judge shows, talk shows, and like Rachel Ray.

Yo, are those NO FRILLS products or the free USDA stuff they would give away with free cheese?

They did both. When I was a little kid the government truck would come to poor areas and give away generic stuff and government cheese. I can remember being like 4 or 5 at my grandmothers house and the truck would pull up and everyone would run outside to get the generic food.

Then they also sold the generic stuff on the certain aisle at the grocery store.
