A new boob-tube is in my house. Do people still reference a
television as a boob-tube anymore or is that old school? I’ll tell you what is
old school…the classic high-rated sitcoms (in their time) that still dominate
many stations in the form of re-runs.
I love watching old re-runs of the shows I grew up watching.
With the fun of having a new picture box in the house, I’ve been strolling
through sitcom memory lane and loving every minute of it. Watching these old
shows was great the first time around and even sweeter the second time. These
shows have managed to withstand the test of time, and it’s thanks to the writing.
Current shows today seem to lack class and creativity; What
happened to good writing?
Calling a television a boob-tube maybe old school, but it
seems fitting due to all the current characters you see on TV acting like
boobs.
Influence yourself with programs that are classic, not
classless…even if that means you have to hold the channel button down until you
find something worthy of your attention.
Why is this important? Because where you place your focus and
what you allow to influence you, has great impact on how you perceive yourself.
I applaud all my favorite old shows that not only kept me
laughing through the years, but also allowed me to learn a couple of great life
lessons.

your dreams, even when they're doused in sorrow, because even though they seem
far away, they could come true tomorrow.”
