Television breeds Obesity?

Not in my household. I fondly recall a time in elementary when we were asked the number of television sets that we had in our household, I replied, "6, not including the one in my van."

Reflecting on my childhood is parallel to reflecting the shows that became milestone/time markers. An age of innocence to sorta say. The television in my house, was what the fireplace was in the 40s, a place to get-together, tell stories, watch stories, learn about the globe, watch TLC & Daily Planet with Dad and his BBQ Peanuts.... and of the sort.

This post is homage to all the shows (in current memory) that have stuck with me one way or another... Honorary mention goes to Tv Tropolis for keeping many of these shows alive.

Television, post-reality tv, will never be the same. The sitcom is extinct, and childhood shows are of a different genre- CGI.
