TV EXPERIENCES

Cleaner back then than now

Nowadays television have shows that involve

“inappropriate behavior”

She would rather us watch television shows that

were on back in her day rather than nowadays

No choice in cable or satellite (parents choice)

MOVIES

Exciting movie experience. First movie- Elvis Presley

Love Me Tender, Lady and the Tramp, King Kong-

amazing

Loved the movie Gone with the Wind

Parents did not let her watch any violence, killing,

cursing or kissing

To Sir with Love- about a teacher dealing with social

and racial problems and tried to turn students around-

like freedom writers
