Back in the 2000s…
Sunday evenings were:
- FOX (shows like X Files, Futurama, King of the Hill, Simpsons, Malcolm in the Middle, Family Guy, Arrested Development, American Dad - and later, Bob’s Burgers)
- Sometimes ESPN/ESPN2 for Sunday Night Football and/or Sunday Night Baseball.
Thursday evenings were:
- NBC (Friends, Frasier, Will & Grace, Scrubs, ER, The Office, 30 Rock, My Name is Earl- and later Community and Parks & Rec).
Late weeknights were:
- channel surfing or just South Park reruns on Comedy Central until the Daily Show and Colbert Report came on
- Adult Swim at midnight because you never knew what weirdness would happen late at night (Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, Squidbillies, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Tim & Eric, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Pee Wee’s Playhouse, 12 Ounce Mouse, Xavier Renegade Angel, creepy Infomercial parodies, the movie The Room)
- Sometimes I’d flip over to a bit of Late Night with Conan O’Brien or the Late Show with David Letterman, especially if there was a cool musical guest
