Blast from the Past 0
We have been watching the old NBC show Emergency on Cozi TV, which is available on our cable.
I remember watching the show when I was a grad student at UVa in Charlottesville and could get only one station, the Richmond NBC affiliate, on my television in my basement apartment in a student slum.
It is hardly the best-acted or best-written show, but I liked it then and I like it now.
I think one reason I like it is that almost all the characters are good guys, who are either trying to help the victims of misfortunes or are, indeed, the victims themselves. And it has frequent doses of humor.
Sure, there is the occasional character who is a jerk, but never a character who is truly a villain.
I’m enjoying seeing it again.

It continually amazes me that folks will fall for stuff they read on a computer screen just because they read it on a computer screen.
Unfortunately, this same gullibility extends to what persons “share” as “news” on “social” media, dodgy websites, and Fox News.

I must confess, I was mildly surprised that the stenographer was a he, because, when I was a young ‘un, stenographers were assumed to be shes.
We may not be able to shed the prejudices with which we grew up, but we can certainly make ourselves aware of them and thereby liberate ourselves from their blinders.
