I've been feeling nostalgic about TV lately for some reason (probably related to thinking about Defunctland's Disney Channel episode? I like seeing bumpers and stuff!) so I got an antenna which was just some cheap weird flat thing which seems to work much better hidden under a drawer than taped up high on a wall.

I was excited to be able to get PBS Kids again and I watched some Word Girl and Hero Elementary and it turns out that being an adult doesn't make me enjoy that kind of stuff any less somehow. I guess it depends on the show; stuff made for literal babies probably won't be good, but stuff for people a bit older may hold up even though it's still trying to be educational. And stuff targeted at a young audience can still have a premise I'm into; I think I remember being really into Dragon Tales as a kid and I think it still fits into my still-current interest in characters crossing over into very different worlds and finding more about them. And Cyberchase is pretty directly that "go into a digital world" fantasy I'm really into (which Deltarune also indulged me in) and a YouTube Poop I saw drew a lot of parallels between the antagonists in that show and the antagonists in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and makes it more intriguing.

I did have fun pretending Hero Elementary was My Hero Academia (which I watched some amount of but dropped since it was too intense) and imagining those characters talking about, "oh I left (plot device) back in my cubby hole". But there's gonna be some base appeal for me anyway in any sort of media that has a group of characters with per-character powers; aside from MHA, that's present in stuff like Bionicle, or Care Bears: Unlock the Magic to some degree, and I set that sort of stuff up among my own characters.

Aside from PBS Kids I saw some sort of shopping channel where someone was showing off some jewelry and you could call in to buy it, I guess? And sports, and news, and some home-improvement stuff. And I saw sitcoms and stuff that looked like it was trying to be spooky. PBS Kids is probably the standout here, but even if I'm not extremely interested in actually watching the stuff that's being broadcast, it's fun to fulfill that curiosity and see what TV shows are being invisibly beamed through my house at a given moment, and I got a radio for similar curiosity.
