Wow!

There have been long stretches of time when I have gone without a TV, or not watched it, by choice. But I cannot conceive of a world without it. 1976? Yikes! America was celebrating its 200th birthday, and on TV. Most homes in the U.S. had TVs in the 1950s. I wasn't even born yet. But I think a world with books is far more interesting and worth living in than a world with TV. And you have excellent reading tastes.
