Remember when TV didn't suck?

TV today is just no good. I suppose that's why I don't have one nor do I want one. However, I was thinking back today on a much simpler time...Remember the TGIF Friday line up? One of our favorite things to do on Friday night was hang out with the Winslow Family from Family Matters, or Corey and Topanga from Boy Meets World. A-Team provided us with hours of entertainment as we took turns being Mr. T. Who could forget our rock concerts with headbands over our eyes inspired by Star Trek The Next Generation's Geordi La Forge? The Cosby Show, I watch it today and am seriously considering bringing back their sense of fashion. All that color and fabric was truly an art. Growing Pains, with guest appearances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Kirk cameron and all of his shenanagins....oh and one of my all time favorites was of course Charles In Charge. This kind of TV takes me back to the days when life was much simpler. Back when my whole family lived under the same roof, when I spent my summers playing outside with my brothers and eating fresh peaches while mom canned. Back when we had skinned knees and made mud pies. Back when we would play everything from explorers to G.I. Joes to tag, hide and seek, cards, cars, dress up, school, office, and everything in between. We had no worries or cares in the world other than who's turn it was to have a friend spend the night. I miss those days. I miss the families on TV that consisted of Dad, Mom, and kids, with much simpler problems than today's world. I can't go back, but luckily you can find almost all of these shows on DVD :) I'm filled with warm fuzzies and reminded of my brothers so this post is dedicated to them (although they will probably never read it).
