Can you do without color?

Who cares whether Rachel's throw rug is azure or maroon?

This quote pretty much sums up my opinion of color television and I have said it for years. I can't believe that most people I have told it to look at me as if I'm crazy. Of course these folks usually of the mindset of not watching tv at all if it werent color AND remote control. God forbid having to move a body part to adjust a television set!

I don't remember it being a big deal to get up and change the channel back when it was the more or less the norm. Of course we didn't have 200 channels. Now THAT could be a work out! Hey maybe thats why we need all of the abdominal workout info-mercials these days and the kids are pudgy....
