Holy shit TV Guide! I forgot about those! They'd just show up in the mail every week, I have no idea who was sending them or why but inevitably they'd be in the mailbox!

The first time I went to a friend's house and they had a guide on the TV my mind was blown!

Oh and Tivo too! I learned about Tivo from a friend and had never even heard of DVR before that! The idea that you could just record TV at will was mind-blowing! I was like, "yeah but where do you put the cassette?"

You knew your favorite show had made it when it was on the cover of TV Guide. I know I was happy when Babylon 5 got a cover.
