on the other hand

I highly recommend the program Bravo's shown called TV Revolution. It's a look at how TV treatment of controversial and important topics in American life (sex, violence, race, gender issues, women's rights) has changed over time. They aired it the last week of May, but I expect they'll be showing it again, and I'd encourage people to watch it if they're interested in issues of popular culture and society. I found it fascinating, much of it in a "I had forgotten how much the world has changed since I've been alive" way. Fascinating.

Thanks for the tip! I'm sure I'd enjoy those programs, if I have a functioning TV by then, of course. Unfortunately, I don't see any repeats scheduled for June.

(BTW, you don't mind if I comment in your journal, do you?)

Mini-advertisment: I have a 19" colour Mitsubishi TV going begging, if anyone has a spare $50... It's surplus to requirements, but it works fine, even though the remote looks a bit clunky and unfashionable.

Not at all! Why would I?

Ooh, I would be interested! I'm not quite sure when I could get over to your neck of the woods, and things would somewhat depend on whether I could squeeze the TV into my four-door Sunfire sedan. Also whether I could maneuver it into my condo (no, you do NOT want to see my filthy abode).

But yes, for $50, that would at least give me the chance to watch my few favorite programs and DVD movies without having to warm up the TV for an entire afternoon. Thank you for the offer!

As far as whether you mind if I comment ... some time ago you were complaining about women who don't tell you everything about their past right away, and I poured out this big long story to you, and you didn't say anything, so I just figured that you were pissed off at me or something. Guess not!

It shouldn't be a problem to fit in. The TV that's replaced it has a slightly larger screen but a much hugerer cabinet. The Mitsu I was able to stick in my Geo Prizm sedan and drive home (I bought it a year or so ago from a coworker).

It's not going anywhere, just sitting quietly in a storage room.
