Do TV shows stop at some point?
I dont use TVs all that much save for day 1-3 and the one I put in my base recently seems to never play anything, I'm 3 weeks into this run btw.

Yes. VHS tapes make up for them.

If you start on the default date of 7/9 the last TV show will be at 6:00am on 7/19 (Day 9).

It's what people experienced before the Knox event.

Late 80's in to early 90's was an amazing time.

usually when the TV show goes downhill in later seasons is when they stop.

But read whatever skill books apply to that tape before you watch it. You get way more XP than doing actual work! Hate to say it, but I think VHS is OP. Granted, in 1993 every community had at least one VHS store, but I don't remember ever seeing more than a short shelf of "Self Help" videos.

However, some jobs I worked would often have shelf of videos related to that particular industry, and the same could apply to books.
  • Full set of Carpentry at McCoy Lumber
  • Full set of First Aid in Cortman Medical
  • Fishing at the Riverside Bait Shop
  • Cooking at the school cafeteria, etc...
Just like items have been optimized to spawn in appropriate locations, I'd be happy with finding more location-relevant books and VHS

On that note...

Does anybody find home vhs tapes?

I've looked at the distribution for these and they only seem to spawn on shelves in the same room as a "modern" TV but I have yet to find one in recent play time.
