Fantastic!
But the only reservation I have is that if that television receiver was tuned to any one of the US major networks then it may qualify not only as hazmat, but that it should perhaps be removed by a bomb squad after processing such poisonous programming for so long. Under Massachusetts or California regulations it may be possible that removal of the TV is not permitted under safety laws written.
Be it in the Commondearth or the west co$t state the whole house would probably need to be burned to the ground under a special tent.
Bear in mind that the state of our union that shows up in phrases such as "This chemically pure water is known to the state of California to cause cancer..." is the same state that is creating the programming that we are seeing.
God bless the writers' strike; we may get decent television in the meantime....
Forgive me; I know that I'm perhaps being in some eyes a snot and a snob here, but I'm a crabby old New England grump, and such drivel as these writers show on the major networks are in my opinion best saved for those that would waste their time watching such.
I'm a little old fashioned, I guess. I hope I haven't offended anyone; just speaking my mind, and how I feel.
Back to the set, I have several of that ilk aroung here for when I want to watch TV--which is seldom. All my sets say SONY in their bold letters....But I will give a plug to Toshiba and Panasonic as well....
In this country we have Zenith (God knows where it is made now!)
And we have--I mean HAD--RCA (which made some good television sets in earlier years!) and GE (Which in my humble opinion.....?) But now both seem to be made by Thompson (TCE), a brand which I wouldn't pay to keep in my living room.
We've all sold our souls to the Asians at this point. We need to get on with it. We made this bed, and now it is beddy-bye time. This means that nearly every brand that was king in this country back in the day is no longer. G'night, folks!
Sad.
