What did people do before tv? Watch the boring lives of neighbors? 🤔

I was 8 when our town got the one national broadcast channel, and 11 before my family got a TV. Until I was about 15 there was just the 1 channel with maybe 4 hours of worthwhile stuff on it in a good week. I read books and played outdoors a lot. That was a very primitive time.

Knew all my neighbors too. The whole setup sucked.

Books are basically the assembly language of entertainment. They suck. Never read a book if a tv show or movie version is available. What are you, some sort of masochistic barbarian?

Played instruments like pianos, sang, played cards, fought alot, drank plenty. Knew the outdoors. Cared for children and elders.

Oh yeah I’ve sat through several awful evenings of bad musicians performing for friends and family where you have to pretend to enjoy it 😆
