To: Fierce Allegiance

I remember wanting to watch Shirley Temple on Sundays, but my dad wanted to watch bowling. I do remember him griping about watching The Wizard of Oz yet AGAIN. Now I agree with him. We had 3 channels, but only 2 came in well. My mom ironed to Arthur Godfrey. One Christmas, we went to visit friends of my parents. I saw Perry Como's Christmas special in color. It wasn't too long after that that my dad bought our first color TV so he could watch Bonanza in color.

I heard that Murdock of Fox soon will offer cable station viewing for free in the U.S. No more paying a monthly bill for all those TV channels. Apparently, this is already the case in Europe. The loss in money revenue is offset by consumers willing to buy the extras, pay-for-view, special sports programs, etc.
