9. The Ed Sullivan show was the ONLY show we were allowed to watch back in the early 60s.

That's right folks - TV was on for one hour a week - probably considered inhumane today

AND, we only got the old B&W cuz a relative died in 61, and no one else needed, or wanted it.

Looking back, I don't regret having such limited access to the tube.

Now - I practically live on the web

(sigh)
