What's on the telly?

Dad blogs about the TV going away; Mum blogs about the TV coming back. Apparently it was necessary for the World Cup, which means the grown-ups caved before the kids forced them to. Are there no pubs in Berkeley?

I do have a television, which is connected to a DVD player, but it's not connected to any TV. Which is fine by me. Watched Out of Sight on DVD tonight. It's kinda perfect, judged on it own merits. If I ran a rep cinema, I'd screen it as a double feature with Ghost Dog.

I'm glad you're returning to important topics.

At one level, it is a story of grown-ups caving. But it's also a story of power. Our children may have deeply desired to cave in, but it wouldn't have produced a television.

It may be that the return of the TV is a great mistake. If so, we'll retire it after the World Cup (or maybe hold on until after the US Open tennis…).
