Pickles by Brian Crane for July 21, 2019

From the times I visited my grandparents, I don’t recall watching any TV that was unknown to both me and them.

One finds freedom but another is ensnared.

The true opiate for the masses…when opiates are unavailable.

Why do kids, who usually have good eyesight, sit so close to the tv, and adults, whose eyesight gets worse and worse as the years go by, sit across the room? I mostly wonder the second thing. If you can’t see that well, why not sit closer?

I was watching my grandparents’ tv when Jack Ruby shot Lee Oswald live. Probably not a good thing for a child to watch.

Do as I say, not as I do. An oldie but a goodie.

Opal just take Nelson outside with you and have fun ! Tis summer enjoy ! Just avoid the heat of the day ;-)

When TV was invented, only few people had them. One person on my street had one and every week, we would be invited to watch the Sunoco Hour, Milton Berle…..the screen was about 5”. We’ve come so far from the good ole days…Kids played outside from morning till the street lights came on! Memories are made of this!

Sounds like he was watching a soap opera.

If you don’t know what the program is, then you probably shouldn’t be seeing it…

Opal, “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander”

Don’t do what I do, do what I say!

Look at that – disgusting! Good thing he isn’t watching it!

Animal channel?Opal doesn’t want to explain the birds and bees ;)

My grand parent died before tv.

I was so sheltered! Recently i bought Lady and the Tramp. I wasn’t allowed to watch it when it came out in the theatres because my grandparents and mom knew I would cry. I cried the other day watching it, so I can see why they protected me.

I at least knew what I was watching. But no one ever asked.

Why doesn’t Nelson have a phone and some kind of gaming system?

My grandma watched Pro wrestling. She’d get all excited and start yelling “Get ’em! Get ’em!”

LOL
