On the first day of class, Dr. Coyne asked us what our favorite TV show was and why! As I contemplated all of my favorites: The Andy Griffith Show, I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, I Dream of Jeanie and Bewitched. I seemed to notice a theme... these are all of the classic oldies!
Why do I choose to watch old movies? Let me tell ya:
1. In this day and age of crude and cheap humor, it's so relaxing and comforting to watch something that doesn't require a single cringe or awkward laugh. Classic humor takes brains and creative acting.
2. It's quality entertainment. Not only am I being entertained, but I'm learning life lessons and good morals.
3. Old fashioned shows are just nostalgic for me. My parents were born in the 50s, so they grew up with these shows and passed on the love for these classic shows to me as well. It is also a way for important interaction with my family since we all love these same shows.
Media is important and I love that there are shows that really connect to me.
