The Idiot Box

Despite what I know about the effects of frequent television viewing, I love watching tv. For the past few days, our DirecTV receiver has been on the fritz. Consequently, we've had no tv--not even local channels. George loves it--he is frustrated with my attention to the modern day hearth--but I'm beginning to get cranky without the necessities like Mystery Diagnosis, The First 48, and, of course, Law and Order reruns.
