In the PBS documentary, The Pioneers of Television, there is a chapter about the greats who started late night TV in the 1950s. Namely Steve Allen, Merv Griffin, Jack Parr & Johnny Carson. Personalities that won over viewers, in the still very new landscape, of late night TV viewing. Late night TV was a good source of laughs before going to sleep, for many decades.
I surf around the internet quite a bit, and one of the main things I visit are TV related sites. Mainly I seek out message boards because they can be quite fun. That being said, they can also be very weird or way too serious about the subjects at hand.
The world of modern TV sometime ago put in a ratings system so parents could gauge what's acceptable for their kids to watch. This is certainly soething that comes up in discussion about FOX's Sunday night schedule of animation. Someone I know recently said, "Oh I think 8 years old is a good age to let them watch that."
I'm speaking for myself at the moment but.....
I am really tired of people who watch a sitcom or a movie and instead of just enjoying what they're watching and getting lost in it, they have to try and rationalize or make total sense of everything that's not completely possible in the real world.
