Dave and I have satellite television beamed into our home. We get multiple local stations and literally hundreds of satellite channels for our viewing pleasure. Even so, many evenings when Dave and I settle down on our couch, we can't seem to find anything "good" we would both like to watch. All those channels, and yet, there's nothing worthwhile. Luckily, we have reruns that have been saved to the Joey hopper DVD for viewing.
That was never the case in my family when I was growing up, even though we had only three channels to choose from. Whatever was on was suitable for us and we were enthralled by it all. I remember Saturday and Sunday evenings especially, when the whole family gathered in our living room and watched The Carol Burnett Show, The Wonderful World of Disney and more. Watching television back then was more than a way to pass the time -- it was an event. And it was all good.
And, more importantly, no one ever complained that there was nothing good to watch.
