Myself--I like a "back to the future" approach, showing something like an advertisement for some ultra-tech device or service, especially when it has a "dot com" addy showing.

in the 1960's "the Wizard of Oz" was a once a year showing (generally) that most of us kids liked to watch. Besides the fact that the story is timeless, and Judy Garland has an incredible voice, it was one of the few color shows that really looked good on color tv.

Back in the day you had to make time and plan for the big event, then all the kids on the block would watch it and report back about it the next day at school.

Now a days with all the instant gratification and total lack of any planning required, and the lack of community from shared events I can understand the lack of a common show that draws so many of us "oldsters" to a single show.

besides all that, the color is rich and varied so it looks good on the set, and we know how it should look, so its almost a test pattern as well.
