It's somewhere around 1977 and I'm about 10 years old and I'm up past 10 pm watching juicy riveting prime-time "Magnum, P.I." (or whatever), and of course right at that moment I want nothing more from the universe than to stay up another hour and watch even more TV so as to feel, you know, older, and wiser, and somehow cooler. And right about then my mother walks in and says hey kiddo, time for bed, and I plead and whine and protest and say no no no please please please why why why, and she says, slightly exasperated and motherly, well, because I said so.
She had her reasons, of course. After all, you gotta set some ground rules, gotta establish the boundaries and make the wee ones understand that the world ain't always full of clear explanations and justifiable details, and sometimes you, as the dumb oppressed plebe, you just gotta shut the hell up and do whatever the elders say because, well, they said so.
You loathed that line then, and you'll hate it even more now.

Amazing. I didn't know his mother could speak. I thought all she could do was bark.
Why are Morford's panties constantly in the wad mode?
Wrong, she can growl and snarl too!

It's all about him, ain't it -- Morford, his wants. He comes across as a very lazy man.
I don't think Magnum P.I. was on in 77, but he had to use a show with a political conservative star as his example.
Magnum PI first aired in December, 1980.
