Not being funny, I actually do love linear programming. I miss the days when I’d just turn on the TV and there’s be a random episode of the Simpsons or King of the Hill, or something with stupidly many episode like one of the thousand Law & Orders.
Picking something to watch from the beginning is a chore, and now I feel invested if I don’t end up being in the mood. Stuff that’s just “already playing” is something I dreamed of recreating when I started (not)pirating everything. "It started 5 minute ago but this is a good episode " was how I grew up watching TV (and even movies).
You can do this with Plex, which I find occasionally nice
but the enshittification…
I know, I know, I’m just relating to a comment. It’s also a feature on other sites
Personally I’d like a “live” TV with 1-episode DVR. As in, I can tune in to a random whatever and if I find it actually interesting I can hop back to the start of the episode and enjoy without having to completely miss the before bits.
I think my favorite part is the fact that everybody (with the exception of telecasts) is seeing the same thing at the same time, so it was more of a social event like sports. It was so great back then.
YES! FINALLY! I FUCKING LOVE LINEAR TV PROGRAMMING!

I occasionally go to pirate sites that do this. You just go and tune in to a channel with a chat of other people who are just watching whatever plays.
I enjoy watching cartoon network and discovery when I stay at a hotel, reminds me of my youth.
Ideal would be a playlist you build and hit randomize. You pay for it. No commercials. I don’t think there’s a service that does this…
