Thus far, what have I learned that was particularly interesting, surprised me and was new information.

One of the things that I learned that was intriguing to me was that radio was as an evolution to TV being invented. One thing that surprised me was the company names RCA, GE, and AT & T all companies that are still in existence today. Everything has been new information for me. I can't say one thing sticks out more than another, because I had never cared enough to know before this class. However, I find it really interesting and now if I had the courage to open up a TV to see what really makes it work would be even more exciting.

Not much TV this week

This week I have not seen very much TV. I have seen parts of the Gatorade 150 Nascar races as well as part of the Busch race today. I think I even watched one episode of One Life To Live. I watched the morning news at 5:00 each day, that can be depressing. I mainly watch the weather portion. Perhaps once basketball season is over I won't have to run every day which will allow me to watch more TV. I haven't even had a chance to watch House this week. :(

Comparisson of Magnum PI and whatever someone else was watching

This week I have been trying to get some TV time. Usually whatever someone else was watching. It is not always easy to get my own TV time around my house. However, this morning I finally got to sit down and watch an episode of Magnum P.I. that I recorded a couple of weeks ago. I was so excited that it fit into the assignment this week. While watching it I tried to pay attention to a couple of details. One the colors are not so vibrant as they are today. Such as the green grass really wasn't that green, almost brown. However, it was a favorite of mine in the early 80's and I enjoyed it just as much today as I did then. Secondly, I was trying to hear if there were any differences in the audio. I didn't notice any, but will continue to listen for them.
Another thing I noticed was that the men wore extremely short shorts.

One Life to Live

Each day the dvr is set to record the Soap Opera "One Life to Live". Usually I try to find time at night to watch it. However, between my son buying a Xbox 360 and my husband being home evenings I had to wait until Sunday morning to watch three of the episodes.

House

It is so amazing that my family has finally found a program that we all enjoy. I like the TV show House because of the cranky Dr. House. Some of the things he comes out with get me laughing. Thankfully we got to watch House for a great share of Sunday night instead of the Superbowl, because I am not a football fan.
