The History of Television

[@DriveupLife22]

Remember kids. This channel died because the algorithm was too stupid to understand how good the content was and stopped showing it to everyone.

[@sirizalot]

I mean not so much in the last couple years, when they got rid of anything potentially edgy and made bland kids' content

[@TheBingusBongus]

Coming back to this sketch nearly 11 years later, I'd love to see them take on more shows that have come out since then. Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead? Hell, all of Netflix's and every other Streaming Service Original show is worthy of it's own sketch in this vein.

There's one major, major oversight. The show that popularised the trend of serial tv-shows (that is one story over several episodes), gave TV a more sinister tone and laid the groundwork for everything from Dexter and Breaking Bad to Mad Men. I'm talking, of course, of The Sopranos

You're seriously one of the best channels I have ever come across. Keep up the amazing hilarious work.

[@johnlathan9620]

You should have included: "I Spy", the first show to be shot in exotic locations "South Park" was a big deal, saving Comedy Central from being a failed network SNL - launched so many careers and characters Sopranos - the first of many drama shows that really gave premium channels a boost Doctor Who - longest running Sci-Fi series MTV - back in the 80s it was a big deal to see music videos on TV

[@Greyghostvol1]

+John Lathan "I Spy", the first show to be shot in exotic locations: I don't know, it had that catch to it, I'm not sure, however, if that catch was more ground breaking than simply a way to be distinctive among so many spy/agent TV shows. "South Park" was a big deal, saving Comedy Central from being a failed network: It was still, just simply a more raunchy The Simpsons. However, I do think it helped in making certain topics less taboo over all on TV...so sure, I'll overall agree with this one. "SNL - launched so many careers and characters": If we're sticking simply to the golden age of SNL in the early 80s, the silver age in the early '90s and the brief revival in '02-'05 yes. However, every other period of SNL sucked. This video did include The Simpsons even though that show has a rocky history, so overall, yes, SNL should have been added. "Sopranos - the first of many drama shows that really gave premium channels a boost": Agreed, though OZ was first. "Doctor Who - longest running Sci-Fi series": Agreed. Omission made more egregious by their inclusion of Star Trek. They might have cut it out because they were focusing on American television, but Doctor Who is overall influential enough to overlook that. "MTV - back in the 80s it was a big deal to see music videos on TV": That's a network and it seems they were focusing on simply TV shows. A big oversight, though, was An American Family, Excusable, but the omission of it makes the exclusion of The Real World but addition of Jersey Shore really glaring. Jersey Shore was the direct result of The Real World being successful, which was heavily influenced by An American Family. Making Jersey Show appear out of no where when every other show they've covered was scripted doesn't exactly make sense. I say this, but I really enjoyed the video lol your comment just made me realize they did omit some shows that should be there, namely Sopranos, Doctor Who and some influential (for good or for ill) reality shows.

[@whyasky4834]
