Nickelodeon/Nick-at-Nite easily wins Saturday nights among teens most weeks, and that’s with or without new episodes.

The color TV had been a Magnavox which lasted ... hell, it must have lasted 15 years and never blew the tube; just got replaced. I took that b and w tv to college and used it,sparingly, until 1985 or so.) Point is, today I notice adults use the teens they are watching with to figure out what the hot shows are. Teerns are the trend setters, esp, teenaged women. ( One of the few funny episodes of Sex in the City dealt with that medialand truth in the episode where the guy ... well, anyway, I'm sure some rfans of the show remermber which one I mean.)

There may be some children that age group who shoulder adult responsibilities, but they are not adults. Well gosh, as I remember, way "way" back to the sixties, when I was 12-17, I wasn't watching TV on the Fourth of July either. We went somewhere to eat and then watched fireworks.

They are only teenagers in the first paragraph. I'm sure NAMBLA is happy with that. Ages 12- 17 are adult, men and women, now? They are only teenagers in the first paragraph.
