Description: I'm looking at a dangerous new 32 inch wide flat screen hole in my living room and in fact in my life and yours. You can disappear down that hole... and boldly go... nowhere. And lots of people do. As you may have figured out, I had to replace an almost perfectly good twenty some odd year old TV set before its time. I wanted to wait till I could afford a new 3d TV, so I could watch Catherine Zeta Jones movies the way they were intended to be seen. Through slightly steamed up glasses. But my trusty old Zenith was driving me nuts with the closed captioning which it decided to turn on all by itself, and I couldn't turn it off... without the original changer, which has long since joined the original rabbit ears in Howdy Doody Heaven. And I didn't want to hear what most of the tv people were saying the first time around, without having to read it fifteen seconds later, in a voice recognition printout that has switched the language to the Klingon setting. A long time ago, when the kids were little, I always wished there were an early morning kids show called, "Let's Go Back To Bed And Sleep A Little Longer." It would be a puppet show like Howdy Doody. The Howdy puppet would say things like, "My it's early." Then he'd yawn and say "I'm still tired. Let's all lie down and be very quiet till about 8 Am." I think it would have been a smash hit with daddies. And that's where the commercial money is. But only until daddies hit 49 years old.
