The Kovats house has been busy lately. Apparently, parenting is a full time job. Now they tell me.
So it took us a while to realize the piece of crap TV we were accustomed to staring at (with our kids) for hours every evening. Say what you will about the boob tube – sitcoms are crap, programming generally lacks original thought and crams advertising into every possible nook and cranny, it’s why kids are obese, etc. I’m sure there’s a lot of happy vegan families out there without TVs who enjoy their down time sharing impromtu sonnets and making organic soy candles together (or whatever), but we Kovatsi (plural) like to drown the day out of our heads with comedy reruns.
We’ve always run about two years behind the latest and greatest, playing a VHS tape of a recent movie on our 27″ Zenith wasn’t archaeic to us, even in 2007. But, when the “bad spot” on our TV started to overcome Dr. House’s entire head, we broke down and set out to invest in a new one.
