What Channel Do This Is Us Come On

Okay, let's talk about This Is Us. A show that made everyone cry. A lot. But first, a critical question.
The Great Channel Debate
What channel did it even come on? Was it just... everywhere? Am I the only one who sometimes forgot?
My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves)
Here it comes: This Is Us, in my humble opinion, felt like it aired on the "Tears" channel.
Must Read
No, seriously! Forget ABC, NBC, or whatever it was. It was pure, distilled emotion. Marketed directly to our tear ducts.
Don't get me wrong; I enjoyed it (mostly). But the crying was constant!
I swear, some weeks, I'd preemptively grab a box of tissues. I'm pretty sure Kleenex stocks went up significantly during its run. They probably sponsored the show secretly.
Remember flipping through the channels? Maybe you stumbled upon it?

You knew exactly what was coming. Cue the gentle piano music. Cue the flashback montage. Cue the waterworks.
Was It NBC? I Guess...
Fine, fine. It was technically on NBC. But that's just a technicality, right?
It lived on Hulu. And Peacock. Streaming services are the real MVP these days.
Who even watches live TV anymore? (Don't answer that; my grandma probably does.)
And let's be honest, half the time I was watching it on my laptop. Sneaking episodes in during lunch breaks. Trying not to look like I was sobbing in public.
The Real Channel: Your Heart
Okay, cheesy alert! But hear me out. Maybe the "channel" was actually our own hearts.
This Is Us tapped into something universal. Family. Love. Loss. Regret. It pushed all the buttons.
It reminded us of our own messy, complicated, beautiful lives.

So, whether you watched it on NBC, online, or on the "Tears" channel, it's fair to say we were all emotionally invested.
Remember when Jack died? Oh boy. That's when I needed the industrial-sized tissue box.
Final Thoughts (and a Disclaimer)
So yes, I'm aware This Is Us was on NBC. I get it. Network television.
But the feeling of the show was bigger than just a channel. It was an event. A cultural phenomenon.

And honestly, I still can't hear a sad piano song without tearing up a little. Thanks, This Is Us!
Also, side note: I'm not actually against the show. I just think we all need to acknowledge the emotional manipulation, ok?
I feel like I should apologize for this whole article. It's probably incredibly annoying. Sorry. But honestly, I did enjoy it. I watched every single episode.
So, tell me. Which channel did you watch This Is Us on?
And more importantly, how many boxes of tissues did you go through? Be honest!
