Entertainment

Entertainment has changed through the years ,
Or at least what we accept as entertainment.

Now I was born in 1957 , the television eas in 1927 and in the 60’s most households had a TV, -
-one TV- and it was most likely black and white with all kind of tubes in the back of it that you could see through the holes in the backboard. We had three channels to pick from and we all pretty much watched the same shows - Andy Griffin, Dick Van Dyke, Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason and The Honeymooners , Bonanza - all light entertainment that mostly had a positive, fun theme to it.

We watched as entertainment and access changed through the years.

One other thing that changed was News- somewhere along the line is the News became entertainment and we allowed it to happen because it is all about money and ratings and people like controversy and drama and it took over. We now have people on the news pushing drama not facts , we have people that are not journalists presenting stories and sharing their opinions.

We now have hundreds of shows and many ways to watch them and we have chosen themes of violence, murder, “ reality” shows where people just yell at each other and if that is not entertainment for you there is video games with violence and murder.

It has been very odd to watch this all evolve and through it all we dictated it, we chose what we think is entertainment and then we question as to what has happen to our kids and where our priorities are.

What do you think is entertainment?
