I remember growing up with television, from the time it was just a test pattern, with maybe a little bit of programming once in a while.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I started working in the mid-to-late Seventies, when television was not what it is now.
With the advent of cable and such, you guys are calling it the golden age of TV in terms of the writing and stuff. But it's like different branches of a big tree that TV has become.
The whole cable-TV original programming just changed the nature of television.
I did not, like my children and people today, grow up with television as part of my life.
I grew up on the golden age of children's TV.
I grew up without a television. It meant that I read lots of books and entertained myself.
Television is what it's always been. The best of times and the worst of times at the same time.
I have to admit, I never watch television; once in a while I'll see things, but I grew up without it. I had a father who said, 'I hate television;' it came into being when he was a kid, and he didn't have it, so he didn't think I needed it.
I had no television when I was little, just a stack of old, beat-up comics from the 1950s and 1960s.
I was raised by television. It was my first cultural window. It was a constant companion.
