I found it really surprising that they tried to make the first TV's with a mechanical rotating disk. It just sounded like a really really dumb idea to me.
Yeah I'm kind of more interested in the tech then all the political and social stuff the book rambles on about forever.

Old and new TV
I watched the Waltons, Because my mom watches it sometimes...
It's very different compared to newer TV shows, first of all the overall story; I don't think that if today someone made a show with a similar story that it would last very long or even get singed in the first place. It is just to boring for TV now a days. Second of all there is no reference to sex (from what I saw anyway) There are no girls in scantly clad clothing or anything like that. In TV shows now a days it's hard to find a show that dose not have the things I just mentioned.
Also the show seems to be a little bit more goofy, or less serious.
It seems today that movies especially they are all trying to be "gritty" and mature, etc...
The new TV I watched this week are the same three shows I watched last week, those would be. Battlestar Galactica, LOST and Fringe. Battlestar dose a great job with this "gritty" atmosphear. Even the way the camera moves adds to it. And the level of detail on the computer modles and the set versions of the same modles are amazing. They really add to the grittyness and the realistic aspect of it.
I really think that for a true TV show (not some stupid "reality show") to work, they cost a lot more money then a TV show would have cost 20 -25 years ago, or even longer ago.

What I watched this week.
This week the only TV that I watched were the TV shows that I like.
Those are as follows:
Battlestar Galactica, I watched this because it's an amazing show and I've been following it sense the mini series. It's now playing out the final 10 episodes.
Epic Trailer
LOST, This show is cool, I've been watching it sense season 1. Despite what people say about it;its really quite intriguing.
Fringe: This show is made by one of the writers of LOST I do believe, so I watched the first episode and then I was hooked! I really like it, sci-fi stuff always gets me.
