Weather vs Weather

Since the Youtube algorithm blessed me with this nostalgia hit, I figure this is the right time to share it. Behold, hours upon hours of old Weather channel footage with music:

BurnSquirrel,

I’m old enough to remember when discovery showed space stuff like, all the time. It was great!

It really changed in the 90s when congress pulled public funding for educational TV

fox2263,

It’s only a matter of time before the weather reality channel featuring weather

GardenVarietyAnxiety,

Welcome to Costco, I love you.

Jikal,

Tuning to G4 and there’s a 90% chance it’s either COPS or Cheaters

doctorcrimson,

The Gold Diggers and Gold-Diggers caught me off guard, that’s funny.

crackajack,

So disappointed to hear about what happened to Discovery channel. Though their Youtube channel is still amazing!

books,

In all fairness reality shows are pretty much what we watch on YouTube too

Reality shows have people I never want to meet, mostly.

Imgonnatrythis,

This is unfortunately not hyperbole but incredibly and sadly accurate because but neglects to mention aliens on history channel and that it’s hard to find weather on weather channel due to insane amount of ads. TV has gone the way of AM radio.

We don’t have tv anymore since around 2000, before we just watched VH-1’n’stuff, not because “it’s all so bad for the kids” - it is, but that wasn’t the main reason, it’s just shit) we watched SpongeBob over Internet with our (at that time) little daughter in English, not our native tongue german, she had an easy entry into studying internationally because she just spoke English almost better than German. She told me once she even dreams in English most of the time, so we speak our own little germish/engleutsch mix during the day here, it’s partially more efficient to communicate that way (including some family neologisms)

nl4real,

Oh, don’t worry, the same cancer is destroying fun on the internet, only worse because of the techniques they use to keep your attention that TV can’t replicate because it’s not an interactive medium.

FrostKing,

There were still some okay shows on animal planet, last time I checked, when I stopped at a hotel and turned on a TV. They had a treehouse building one that was cool… Don’t know why it was on animal planet, but still
