The very first game I saw MU play was that triple OT loss to ND in the early '70s - pretty sure that was a TVS game. I'm ashamed to say I was rooting for ND due to parental and sibling affiliations at the time, but eventually and thankfully saw the light. That late night UCLA vs Maryland game was another TVS biggie IIRC.
TVS games were appointment TV simply because there were so few games on TV. On a Saturday now you can see 30 games and on Sundays there's close to double digit women's games.
