Guess I’m dating myself.

I’m old enough to remember the seventies when each of the Big Four networks would put on a big evening season kickoff extravaganza proudly previewing all the glorious new shows they would be airing.

Remember the one where Dick Van Dyke has been hired to emcee NBC’s season opener and shows up early to rehearse but gets lost in the studio headquarters and wanders through all of the sets of the various shows, inadvertently wreaking hilarity?

I shouldn’t be too wistful. I think it’s fair to say that network TV has made some major improvements—now that they have so much competition.

I’ll go retie my graying ponytail now and powder my balding forehead.
