It's hard to imagine in this age of digital media and instant gratification for movie lovers, there was a time when viewers would be excited when a favorite film was shown on broadcast television. In America, a top ratings draw was NBC's "Saturday Night at the Movies", which showed popular films including relatively recent titles. As YouTuber Fredflix points out in this entertaining and informative video, audiences had to make due with commercial breaks, edited content and "pan-and-scan" techniques that marginalized the splendor of widescreen film productions. Nevertheless, in the pre-home video age, once a film went to television, it was all but certain you wouldn't see it again in movie theaters unless it was a classic or cult title that might be shown in a big city art house venue. Today, you can get DVD editions for pocket change and very affordable upscale Blu-rays, not to mention the endless options for streaming. We can relish seeing films in their original content without edits or interruptions, which only makes it all the more amazing that there are still movie lovers who indulge in watching deplorable cable TV showings of classic movies on networks that present movies in the manner of days of old.
