There used to be static. Static in the air, speeding across cities and towns, then hurtling upwards and into the infinity that is space. A blank visual white nolse that lasted for a brief moment. And then, in 5, 4, - to silent countdown with hand signals - 3, 2, 1: A test pattern appeared for a few scant seconds only to be replaced by images and words. Information, communication, entertainment, advertisement, instantanious.
Through the air, then through the wires, and eventually to the eye in the sky and back again. From colorless to technicolor to high definition. Truth, lies, education, misinformation, mock childcare, re-runs, mindlessness, video game consoles, big screen, flat screen, pay per view, networks, and local access. All to lead us to one question:
What are your three favorite T.V. shows of all-time?
Mine:
Northern Exposure
Pickett Fences
M*A*S*H
