Channels above 13??? Naw, it'll never last...

Talk about short-sighted.  I recall very clearly (which is a bit of a miracle, since I am painfully aware that most of those reading this blog recall waaaaay more than I do about episodes, plotlines, cast...) when we found out that YCDTOTV was sold to an American "cable" channel.  It was so disappointing!!  We were all like "what is this fly-by-night, CABLE thing"??  It didn't seem like real TV.  We were convinced that channels above 13 would never fly.

This is incredibly embarassing, now.  It's funny, too-I recall being far more impressed when Whatever Turns You On was picked up by our Canadian network, CTV, than by the whole Nickelodeon thing.  At least CTV was a real channel (ie, on the "dial").  Little did I suspect that one day, people wouldn't even know what the heck a "dial" was. 

How many people out there don't remember a time when you had to get up, walk across the room, and turn a "dial" to change channels??!!
