[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 735670, member: 1550"] Television was the new big thing then, the thing grandparents were sure would ruin the younger generation. A lot was put into television when it first came out. Makes sense. Now there are many more channels and cable and live screening. Cable is getting its butt kicked with live screening. Change is always happening. Kids are turning off expensive cable and using Roku channels. I just had a talk about this with the representative I saw when I went to change our cable last week. Things are not the same as even five years ago. Cable is losing ground fast. Our company is pushing internet and live streaming, not cable. As one who enjoys the now, I can say most TV bored me from early on. And it still does. I don't think of television as classy in any era. I wouldn't mind not owning a television if not for sports. And the trashy Judge shows of course :). When I watch very old shows now, I'm talking black and white, I can't relate. Seems before my time and very dated. I chuckle at how couple's slept in separate beds! (Hehe). Even later shows like All in the Family, that I once liked, seem very dated now to me. The politics of that show is from the 60s. I can't enjoy it anymore. [/QUOTE]
