Black and white TV
So, the president thought the GOP convention was from the era of black & white TV.
Lots of thoughts ran through my mind when I read that.
First was, how would he know?
All of NBC’s programming was in color in 1965. The other two commercial networks, ABC and CBS, were broadcasting all prime-time in color the next TV season, with daytime following by Spring 1968. Even NET (now PBS) was all-color by Spring ’68.
Obama didn’t even move to this country until three years later. So, how would he know?
Reruns? TV shows from an earlier time?
So, the GOP reminded him of loving families where everyone works together to make things better for everyone?
And that’s supposed to be an insult?
And Obama is always tripping over the ottoman in the middle of the livingroom.
The era of black-and-white TV was a good era. Unfortunately for Obama, the Democrat convention will be from the era of “Jersey Shore.”
his teleprompter told him so
I think they had black and white in Indonesia. And I know damn well that there were black and white kids shows around 1970, including Gilligan’s Island’s first episodes.
The first season of the CBS comedy Gilligan’s Island aired in 1964-65. It was in black and white. Seasons 2 & 3 (1964-67) were in color. Last new episode aired April 17, 1967.
If I thought Romney could take us back to the 1950’s I’d do whatever it is I could legally do to get him elected. Back to a time when people knew what integrity was and practiced it, back when children born out of wedlock was a bad thing, back when teachers educated students in reading, writing and arithmetic and parents educated children on morals and life. A time where trash was something you put out at the curb, not something that comes into your home through the TV or computer, a time when people talked to each other in person, not texted people on cell phones. A time when people cared more about doing the right thing than doing what everyone else was doing. 1950’s Dick Van Dyke show vs Family Guy. No contest, I’ll take Mr Van Dyke.
For Obambi, everything is black or white, except legal concepts and regulations that can be “nuanced”.
The theme of the Dems convention IS going to be Leave It To Beaver.
