@jojohack This is really cool!

One of my billionaire fantasies was to one day archive all of TV Guide and then use that to line up airing blocks for each decade at the start of every decade and then have it available as a streaming option.

Either way! Thank you so much for this!

When/if you get around to it I'm basically already in the process of doing this (although just for the fascinating dataset of knowing all the movies that played on television in the 90s, when, and how often). TV guide is tough. The New York Times has the TimesMachine though and those have very comprehensive television listings. Possibly as comprehensive as the TV Guide which I was surprised by.

Wow! That sounds really cool. I'd love to hear more. Would you want to talk outside of Hacker News?

Sure. I don't know how best to go about that though. I have my email associated with this account, but since I lurk I don't know if that is public or anything. Does HN have a PM system at all?

E-mails on Hacker News are thankfully private.

I am unfortunately not notified when people respond, which is why I'm late to responding ;)

Please feel free to reach out to my burner e-mail hideitall@gmail.com and I will give you my preferred address.
