My dad and I used to watch Nick at Nite back when you had to stretch that remote control on the cord across the room to access basic cable.

When Leave it to Beaver came on, it was time to change the channel. Back then things were sweet enough, but this took it to a level that only Donna Reed could surpass.

There are so many better classic shows you could be watching.
