25 TV Trivia Nuggets from Pop Culture History for Friday, December 12, 2025

When I was growing up, if I wanted to watch my favorite shows, I had to double-check TV Guide to confirm it was coming on at its usual time slot, and I had to make sure to plan my day around being free and near a television while it was scheduled to be on. Sure, I could catch the reruns, but sometimes I managed to miss both, and ended up without the context of an entire episode. I guess that’s why shows used to do the whole “Previously on….” thing. Now with streaming, none of this is an issue; you can watch anything at the touch of a button. Just like you can read these wherever, whenever you want!
