It's a reference to a cult hit American show, and it's for us olds - the meme was already considered kind of past its prime even back when fark.com was super relevant, so it's kind of like disco making a comeback

I always wondered why there was even an option for channel 4. I have never met anyone on earth that used 4.

I also have wondered for years if UPN actually stayed on the air because video games were giving it ratings. But it was probably only channel 3 around here. :ms:

Yeah. Channel 3 was just a test pattern for the local TV provider. They'd air city council meetings, or telethons and special events once or twice a year.

Only Nielsen households would have contributed to the ratings and I assume they had a way to sift out people using VCRs, playing games, etc.

I lived in an American area that was close enough to Canada where we'd get a CBC as one of the broadcast channels so we'd have 4 to choose from.

Then again, IIRC the family tv also had 10 channels sooooo…

They had something for the nes rf adapter to pass through their box, but there was nothing on channel 3 to begin with.

They used the books in the states as well. The hardware devices are a much smaller sample size to help correct the self reported stats since you can't cheat them.

Look, things were weird growing up in the midwest. Simpsons merch everywhere. But we didn't even get the channels that aired reruns all week. At one point we were so deprived we had to live off of Drew Carey Show memes. And those can only carry you so far!

Well now I had a Genesis and a SNES, and I was the middle child. We weren't rich, we had rich aunts who took pity on us and gave us their kids' consoles when they each got N64s.
