A much-belated Friday Five. Jolly good.
1. How many TVs do you have in your home?
2. One in the parents’ bedroom, one downstairs. We also have one in the guest room-ish-thingy, but since it’s detatched from the actual house, I’m not counting it.
2. On average, how much TV do you watch in a week?
None, unless someone brings a tape of MST3K or Invader Zim or Farscape or summat to Advisory.
3. Do you feel that television is bad for young children?
Think of it this way — if I had not been nurtured as a youth by the madcap exploits of Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake, and CareBears, would be a very different person.
4. What TV shows do you absolutely HAVE to watch, and if you miss them, you’re heartbroken?
I miss Invader Zim.
5. If you had the power to create your own television network, what would your line-up look like?
I would hire people to come up with ideas for the network, then go off and spend my time on more worthwile pursuits. Then I’d cancel the station and spend the money I’d most likely lose anyway buying plane tickets to meet Alicey, Mon, Jia, Brenna, Mags, Tanja, and the rest of the gang. Or maybe get each of them a ticket to a central location so we could have our own mini-convention. That would make me happy.
