    They would probably pay you not to watch your show, Calvin.

    I remember trying this as a kid with a piece of paper, but it was difficult to cut a square in the middle with scissors.

    Funny thing is the “TV” he has there is more like the flat screens of today and not the blockish cathode ray tube devices 30-40 years ago when this was originally published!

    Calvin’s version of the Gerry Springer show. Mo would be the next guest.

    Wanna bet? Mom and Dad can turn you off with one click of the remote—or one swipe at your backside!

    Maybe Mom and Dad could provide enough hazard pay to invite Rosalyn to watch over him.

    “The Calvin Show”, each episode will end with Calvin developing character, unbeknownst to him.

    Calvin would be a natural today, when anyone can be a video star by posting his or her own videos on the internet.

    A local radio station, in a self-promoting advertisment, made the claim that unlike other forms of advertising, radio required the listener to sit and listen to it, as a captive audience, no skipping through.Problem with that idea is, I frequently turn it off as I get fed up with it.

    Exactly how does TV “force” itself upon us? I have never yet seen or heard of a TV that doesn’t have have a power switch. Nor have I ever heard of an armed intruder barging into a home and forcing the occupants to watch TV.

    Oh I’d say Calvin managed to get into a couple million homes in his heyday. I don’t think I’d call it forcing, though.

    In fact, once Calvin’s forced his way into their awareness, no one can turn him off.
