TV

I remember watching 'The Walt Disney Show' on Sunday Nights as a kid. It was a big deal for us. Every Sunday evening there would be a different 1 hour show. It was usually a story about an animal or a boy. Something similar to 'Old Yeller' except it was one hour long and it was a different story each week. The family hardly ever missed it.

We also liked to watch the weekly episode of 'Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom'. That was a favorite too. We didn't have 300 channels to choose from in those days. Just the 3 network channels. There was only one TV, and no way to record an episode in orer to watch it later. If you missed your show, you were out of luck for that week.

Now days, there are so many options available. Hundreds of TV channels. Internet. Gameboys, PS2, Xbox, Movie rentals, TV on Demand, etc.

Still, a good episode of Wild Kingdom today is a pretty good view. Grace and Rose spent hours watching 'River Monsters' this weekend. Have we really come a long way, or does the 'old stuff' still have what it takes?
