\"TelevisionThe first TV my mom ever bought cost her $10 a week for a year\u2014money she could barely afford. It had something like a 15-inch screen, a picture tube that had to warm up and disappeared into a pin light when you turned off the set, and rabbit ears on top that routinely had to be adjusted to get the best picture. It was black and white, of course. We picked up CBS, ABC, and NBC, and we had to get up to turn it on, change the channel, or adjust the volume. And we thought it was a miracle! I was about four or five at the time. Thinking back, it now seems ridiculous. Hubby and I have a 48-inch screen that fits flat against the wall, in blazing color and an auto tuner. All we have to do is click a button to turn it on or to change channels. And we have what many consider a \u201cbasic\u201d set!<\/p>\n

So over the years I\u2019ve watched quite a few TV shows: Sea Hunt<\/em> was a favorite, as was Captain Kangaroo<\/em>, way back when. Burke\u2019s Law<\/em> was always good for drama with a little humor thrown in. For comedy, we loved Mary Tyler Moore and Bob Newhart. We watched silly shows, too, and variety shows like Ed Sullivan, Hee Haw<\/em>, Barbara Mandrell, and the Smothers Brothers.<\/p>\n

But for my all-time favorite, I guess I\u2019d have to say Law & Order<\/em> is it for me. \"LawThere was rarely any humor, true, but the writing was just so damn good that you got caught up in the show anyway. Plus, whether it was or not, it seemed so realistic. There weren\u2019t romances going on between the men and women\u2014it showed a professionalism that I appreciated. And the cops didn\u2019t always get their men and the lawyers didn\u2019t always win their cases. Each week was a story \u201ctorn from the headlines,\u201d and the show made you feel part of the action. Since it went off the air, I\u2019ve watched it over and over in reruns. I can almost repeat the dialogue for some of the episodes, but I don\u2019t care. Good entertainment is good entertainment forever!<\/p>\n

What is your favorite show?<\/p>\n
