Television. This is how my race familiarized ourselves with Earth culture (at least in the U.S.). I tried watching some sitcom from India, but after ten minutes, I was completely lost. I'm sure there was a moral in there somewhere, but just way too much dancing for my tastes. Give me "Married with Children" any day. Glad to see Al Bundy is still working.
Can't say I'm a fan of the newer "reality TV shows". First off, being famous for no apparant reason (the Kardashians, I'm looking at you) makes me crazy. At least on shows like "Survivor," they gotta eat raw octopus and sea slugs (who look a lot like the inhabitants of Venus) and other gross stuff for a shot at fame. Because you have rich parents, no need to work and can party and be photographed at all hours of the day, doesn't make you important. It makes you "famous" which doesn't really mean what it used to. Ahhh,... Ricky Ricardo , where are you!?
