The underrated pleasure of staying on one TV channel all night
I don't know why I've held on to this memory, but when I was about five I was having a low-level bad day – it seemed to involve some angst about a grazed knee – and I was consoling myself with thoughts of watching Doctor Who as soon as I got home. This wasn't some cool, modern Doctor. These were repeats on the ABC of Tom Baker in a chunky knitted scarf. I didn't have the foggiest idea what was going on in most of the plot lines, but I probably would have accepted anything in that after-school timeslot with equanimity. Now, of course, there would be any one of a hundred televisual choices at my fingertips, but I don't know that I would be happier for it. A lot of high-quality television is being made right now, and I've watched a lot of it with gusto. Ted Lasso was tender and joyful. The Last of Us, Succession and Fake were spectacular in very different ways. But having too much choice can be paralysing. There's even a name for it: the paradox of choice. It is possible to scroll for hours on a streaming service without feeling any great conviction about one's eventual choice, precisely because there is always something else one might have chosen. It is low-stakes decision-making, but it can still be exhausting. That's where a free-to-air multichannel steps up. It is the balm on my grazed knee. On a recent weeknight, Nine Go! – one of the network's digital channels – offered a tasty smorgasbord of the same TV treats I watched in my childhood, topped off with a nighttime showing of The Matrix. Heaven. Many of these shows (including those in earlier timeslots, such as Bewitched and The Addams Family) were decades old when I first saw them and looked positively ancient to me at the time. Now they are supremely comforting by virtue of their association with my junior years.

Quarantine lifted at Douglas County Animal Shelter after outbreak of viruses
The Douglas County Animal Shelter is reopening after virus outbreaks caused a mandatory quarantine. The Georgia Department of Agriculture called for a mandatory quarantine at the shelter on May 22 after 13 dogs tested positive for pneumovirus and three tested positive for parvovirus. The quarantine was lifted on Monday. The facility was scheduled to reopen to the public on Tuesday. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Shelter officials said the dogs infected with parvovirus already had the illness when they entered the shelter, but the disease was not immediately detectable at the time of intake. The shelter will continue a self-imposed quarantine for about 30 dogs that have not yet shown symptoms of pneumovirus. They are being housed in a separate area of the facility and are undergoing a 14-day exposure monitoring period. More than 45 dogs have completed treatment for pneumovirus and are now available for adoption, the shelter said. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Douglas County animal shelter under quarantine for pneumovirus, parvovirus outbreak There is currently no vaccine for pneumovirus. But once a dog has been exposed to the virus, developed symptoms and completed medical treatment, they have lifelong immunity, veterinary experts say. 'Pneumovirus is significant because it lasts longer, is more contagious, and can sometimes cause pneumonia or other complications,' said Vanessa Francikowski, director of Douglas County Animal Services. 'While all animals are vaccinated upon intake to prevent disease transmission, some may arrive with unknown vaccination histories and may already be carrying active viruses.' The county's animal control is operating normally, responding to service calls and picking up animals. TRENDING STORIES: 'Black Mecca' no longer?
