Don't give me that "NOVA is good, Jock Coostow is okay" dreck! TV is trash! Okay, so what? It's SUPPOSED to be trash! Every closet pseudo-intellectual commie-hippie-pinko-dope-fiend just loves to crawl out from under his or her rock and grab a borrowed flamethrower whenever this subject comes up... TV IS OK! If it's good enough for Sir John Gielgud, it's good enough for all you Masterbore Theater (no "re" in America, bud) simps. What's so bad about mindless entertainment! Read a book if you want to get uplifted - I'd rather watch "Leave It To Beaver" or "Green Acres", or "Eight Is Enough" (gag! what a deliciously horrible show!), or "Battlestar Ponderosa", or - show of shows - "Gomer Pyle"! And the trash that comes on today is just as good as the trash that came on yesterday - "A-Team", "V", "Dynasty", "Wheel Of Fortune", "It's Your Move", "Mike Hammer", all great, monumental trash in the fine American tradition - go to Jollye Olde Englande and watch cricket or snooker or dog shows - "And the Queen is wearing an absolutely mouthwatering shade of tangerine! Oh my!" - just don't complain about TV in the land of the free and the home on the range! You guys probably don't even have a Ginsu Knife or a Popeil Pocket Fisherman or the twenty-album set of The Roots Of Soul, so how could you even begin to understand what TV is all about? Sheesh - I bet it was YOU who made them take Buffalo Bill off the air. Sniff, sniff. Davis Tucker AT&T Information Systems Denver, CO "Oh well, there's always reruns..."
