Was TV Better Before Multi-Channel Programming?

As I idly flicked through the channels on my Sky TV last night, I realised that I spend most TV watching time doing exactly that.


Flicking through 60 channels trying to find something, anything, to watch.


You would think with the amount of televisual delights spread over multiple channels on offer for our delectation, we'd find it easy to find something to watch, but night after night (as that's practically the only time I watch TV these days) I give up and pick up a book instead.
