My Life As A TV Fan Part IV

Jul 17, 2013 13:01

In the summer of 1979, we moved again from Pittsburgh to the Tampa Bay area. The second TV was placed in a "Florida room" of the house, that was originally designed as a garage but never actually built as such. After some months of sharing a bedroom with my brother I somehow persuaded my parents into replacing the old sofa in the Florida room with a Castro Convertable bed and took the room over as my own bedroom. As a result, I was watching a lot more TV...even though I was just as scrupulous about curfew times as I was in previous years. Except in summer of course, when I began watching a lot of late late shows--and network reruns of prime-time shows in latenight slots.
