Edward G. (a wise guy, see) comments: >What's really funny is now you MEMORY Whiners have Sat(ellite) or Cable and >you have over 200 channels and complain there's nothing to watch ....
And there hardly is, Ed. The amazing thing about television is that over the years there has ALWAYS been a core grouping of 5 or 6 really good shows that everybody talks about and quotes lines from and remembers as a part of our culture. The rest is crap. Back in the beginnings of television, they didn't know you could program crap, so they put up a test pattern. Since we're on the subject, I still have our first two television sets. The first, which we got in 1950, is a 7" Motorola. I have the owners manual as well. It received Channel 1, which was eliminated from the TV broadcast spectrum, but which would handily receive "Lifetime" on Cablevision today. Imagine, a 1950 cable-ready set! I also have the magnifying glass and mounting brackets, made so the whole family wouldn't need glasses to watch Milton Berle. The second TV is a Magnavox 17". How huge it was! My father had the store install an RCA audio jack with a switch to run the sound through the Hi-Fi Amplifier. Home theater in Black and White. We Zizzo's were Television Pioneers, alright.
