TEEVEE

[mrnoodle]

So I was flipping through the channels just now, and got to thinkin. I remember when there were 3 channels, color TV was still a luxury (and a piece of furniture), and if the president gave a speech, that's all there was on TV.

Just now, when scanning the little online guide thingy, I found 4 channels showing reality shows about people who do tattoos.

AT ONCE. Right at this moment. It's unbelievable.

I became instantly overcome with ennui and irony and had to come share that with you.

Just so didn't totally waste your time, though let's start talking about TV memories we remember from back in the day. Favorite episodes, stuff your family watched together, you know. Mr. Ed or Yu-Gi-oh or whoever.

I just remembered that when my granddaddy was alive, and Circus of the Stars came on TV, he would get so outraged at the vulgarity of the suits taht the performers wore that he would huff out of the room and go stomping elsewhere. For like 3 minutes. Then he'd come back and watch some more, till they got him redlining again. And Clint Eastwood -- granddaddy said "i bet he wears lace on his underwear".

Clint Eastwood, no less. I miss my granddaddy.
