Some Things Never Change

Chadd Wheat has a new column posted over at The Sitcom. Funny, subtle and slightly strange: all the things he evokes best.

He was helping clean out a grandparents house, and ran across some old family treasures. But he also encountered The Lebanon Reporter, circa 1970. Here's a teaser quote:

The Opinions page featured various editorials complaining about the President, the school board, and religion in Russia. Obviously some things never change.

Another refreshing thing about yesteryear: the television listings. No reality shows, except for sports. “I Love Lucy,” “Gilligan's Island,” “Wagon Train,” and “Andy Griffith”. There was no mention about “Who Wants to Marry My Midget Father's Chihuahua” on Fox. (In fact, there was no Fox network. Talk about refreshing.)

Funny stuff: give it a read!
