    PAL? PAL?! Why, when I was a kid, we had to live with NTSC. None of that fancy higher resolution for us!

    We had 2 English & 2 French stations when I was a kid. Talk about choices.

    Of course we all read “Cul de Sac” looking at a TV screen.

    Analog TV only, but we lived near LA, so we got 7 channels. No UHF, no cable (PAY TV? Horrors!) On the bright side, we got Beanie & Cecil when it was still a puppet show, Sheriff John, Engineer Bill, the OLD Mickey Mouse Club………

    Well this is depressingly realistic. Wait, Not one of them is playing video games?

    When are children going to realize that TV, video games, and the internet are not your playmates, your real friends are?

    EDIT: Not spam! It’s related to the strip. It may take a stretch of the attention span, it’s nearly 11 minutes long! (also relevant. I’m being cryptic intentionally so people watch this.)

    In my day, we didn’t have these fancy remote controls. If we wanted to change the channel, we had to walk across the living room to turn the TV knob, in five feet of snow, uphill, BOTH ways.

    We didn’t have a TV until after I was 10. My brother and I played a lot of records (78s) and listened to Sky King, and Sergent Preston of the Yukon, on the radio.

    I regret spending so much time watching t.v. as a chold , I’m so glad my sister’s raising her daughter without a t.v. in their house .

    I love how they’re all admiring their work in the last panel. Our family was one of the first to have TV, but it was in the early 50s (when I was already in HS).

    I use my summer vacations just lying in bed reading, and talking on the phone for hours, and reading comics and emailing everyone I know and learning new stuff and playing badminton and, of course, watching TV.
