Last year I and my kids really enjoyed Discovery. It was every Sunday night the kids would remind me to play the stream as soon as it was available. Many a late night to bedtime had happened because of it.

If you’ll indulge me, I’m going to borrow the idea of eras from science. These eras are independent of genre as genres are closely tied to the human condition at the time rather than the technology to produce story.
