Most people would agree that streaming services that eliminate the need to watch commercials are a welcome improvement to TV-watching — but some people are still feeling nostalgic for the old days.
This week, a New York woman's tweet about a time when commercials offered a much-needed break went viral, earning a million likes and plenty of supportive replies.
'I feel sorry for Netflix era kids. They will never know the high stakes adrenaline of running to the bathroom/fridge/bedroom in a single ad break, with the beckoning call of a sibling screaming “It’s ONNNNNN” to send you hurdling over furniture to get back in time,' wrote Felicity.
Fast forward: Most people would agree that streaming services like Netflix make their viewing experience better — but some still feel nostalgic for the old days
Remember? A woman named Felicity said kids today will never feel the 'adrenaline' rush of running to the bathroom or fridge during a commercial break
Hurry! Her tweet was like a million times and others looked back on running between breaks
Mom-approved: This woman joked that she may pause Netflix so her kids can experience it
Hazardous: This woman recalls breaking her toe while running back to catch Buffy after a commercial
While it's clear that no one misses commercials because they actually want to watch them, Felicity and others who replied were in agreement that the scheduled breaks could be useful.
And rushing to get back in front of the screen without missing a moment of a favorite show could be exciting.
'I literally broke my toe in 2002 when my husband yelled "IT'S ONNNNNN" about Buffy The Vampire Slayer and I went running from the bedroom of our apartment to the living room and accidentally kicked the couch,' wrote one.
'Real tempted to pause Netflix at regular intervals and tell my kids to go to the bathroom and unpause after a set time regardless of whether they’re ready to watch so they can experience this,' wrote another woman.
Faves: Several people looked back on '90s shows like Buffy and Dawson's Creek as their must-see TV
Looking back: People reminisced about how television used to be, with scheduled programming
Staying tunes: They recalled having to wait for their favorite shows to be on
Social engagement: Before everyone had multiple screens, people would watch shows together
Woosh! Running back at the end of a commercial break was practically an Olympic sport
'"YOU MISSIN IT!!" "HURRY UP!" "I'm not peeing till the commercial!"' another person wrote. 'Bonus for when you would leave and someone would steal your seat or take the remote.'
Others reflected on other things they missed about how TV used to be — particularly, the must-see element of it, when people would gather around to watch together and talk about a popular show on the next day.
'I watched the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation in my dorm lounge with a dozen or so other students that all piled in around the sole TV there and I'll never see Star Trek like that again. I forgave a lot that I wouldn't now. It's a whole thing,' one tweeted.
'The next day you would be either talking about the same show with friends at School or FF at work. Lets not forget having parties to mark a mile stone event for a show at someone's home.
See it once! Now everyone watches their favorite shows over and over
Did you watch? People miss how everyone would discuss the episode from the night before at work or school the next day
Watch together: Some would watch with their friends on the phone
Appointment television: There was no On-Demand back in the day
Huh? Some people, though, didn't understand the nostalgia, asserting that things are much better now
'Believe it or not TV was more social then, [fewer] channels,' wrote another.
But not everyone was convinced. Tweeted one: 'Why does anyone have nostalgia for this? Am I allowed to ask?'
Some aired complaints instead, like a Twitter user who remembered that you were out of luck if you missed a single episode.
Others remembered only being able to watch an episode once, or having to wait for a summer re-run.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
