One time at dinner, we received a phone call asking whether there was a 12 or 13 year old boy in the house (that's me). I was asked what my favorite show was ("Daktari", also inane in retrospect). I was then asked what I thought about "It's about time". I said that I never watched it and thought it was really stupid. Shortly thereafter they canned it. I guess they got a similiar response from the other members of their target audience (i.e. adolescent kids). Sometimes when I wonder whether it is all worthwhile, I think back ad and realize that I had a little hand in making TV better. Then I think about what TV is like now and realize that it made no difference. Sigh....
