H<\/span>appy 4th of July to the\u00a0makers of sutures, managers of burn clinics and freelance arsonists: What a busy day you have in store!\u00a0<\/p>\n In the\u00a0meantime: Every so often,\u00a0a Facebook post lists a bunch of TV shows that were \u201cfar worse than you remember” they were. I\u2019m not sure what the point of a post like this is. I already have a pretty good memory for dreck.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9mZWF0dXJlZF9pbWFnZSIsInNldHRpbmdzIjp7fX0=@” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _dynamic_attributes=”src” width=”80%” width_tablet=”93%” width_phone=”95%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” max_width=”95%” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_alignment=”center” border_width_all=”1px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Caption” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ text_font=”Georgia||on||||||” text_font_size=”14px” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-16px||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n TV or Not TV<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Is the point of these posts to destroy one more vestige of nostalgia? We already know that Santa Claus wasn\u2019t a real guy (or so says the Easter Bunny) and that when we become parents we make the horrifying discovery that we’re the Tooth Fairy.\u00a0For a quick moment, please allow me to divagate (mainly because it’s my favorite new word).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n When my daughter lost her second or third baby tooth, I thought it would be funny to leave a check under her pillow instead of coins or cash. I even drew a bogus draft from the Bicuspid Bank of Molar, Michigan, with the Tooth Fairy\u2019s address and phone number on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n But my daughter\u2019s mom told me, in the manner of telling someone he or she was being laid off, that the family had \u201cdecided to move in a different direction, Tooth Fairy-wise.\u201d\u00a0We now return to your regularly scheduled column, joining it in progress.<\/p>\n The fact is, almost\u00a0all\u00a0of the TV shows we remember probably sucked, though we didn’t always think so at the time they aired. I watch some of the old Warner Brothers westerns like “Cheyenne” and “Maverick” and except for their tendency to use extensive footage from older Warner Brothers westerns\u2014after all, why re-stage a cattle stampede when you already shot one for a 1940s movie which was also in black and white (ergo, the images and even the costumes match)?\u2014they hold up pretty well. Same goes for “Gunsmoke,” which ran for several hundred years on CBS and was probably canceled only because viewers had passed their sell-by date.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Adsense Horizontal” _builder_version=”4.10.7″ width=”90%” width_tablet=”90%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” max_width=”90%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_module=”1433″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”]
