Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for January 21, 2020

OK, boomer… wait..

Dang. And all this time I thought you were supposed to look up the details about the program on the phone and Instagram on the tablet.

Old science fiction movie ‘Rollerball’ [not the stupid remake] had ‘multivision’ sets in the best houses.

iPhone catatonia is pandemic.

Pam is the only show I would want to watch!

I remember when watching a show only required a choice between three FREE channels.

(I also remember “The Lone Ranger” and “Amos and Andy” on the RADIO!! But that’s another subject.)

I take photos with my phone, read books on my tablet, paint pictures with my computer, and sometimes listen to the radio on the tv.

I look up info on movies and TV shows on my laptop while I’m watching them because inevitably I’ll see someone who looks familiar and I’ll wonder “who is that and what else have they been in?” And yes, I’m a boomer.

One screen, three channels! What more does a kid need?

What else are you supposed to do during the 20 minutes of commercials they show every hour?

I multitask, I can ignore more than one thing at a time.

I remember the first picture-in-picture.

No you got this all wrong. You first get the review for the show on the tablet. watch the show on your Smart TV, then tweet about it on your smart phone. After that you play the game on your PlayStation 4. Well unless the game came 1st, then you just reverse the order. Either way it cost 10K in equipment.

These days one has to check IMDB to see if the show is even acceptable for your family.

I still only require one screen. I watch shows on my laptop.

Do Pam’s grandparents remember “watching” without a screen? As the radio drama progressed, the scenes played out in the imaginations of the audience.

Watching TV is harder than it sounds.

Pam … I like to watch.

And, after all that, he’s still not sure what the Show was about…

But, he does have the names of all the Actors memorized.

I thought this comic took place in the future… is this like a reverse BC

“…and we watched television by whale oil lamp light.”

Inception.
