All American Family
I really liked “The Munsters” TV show when I was 4 and 5 years old. At the time, I couldn’t imagine anything more entertaining on television, but one day the unthinkable happened! ABC began running promos for a new program titled “Batman” that looked like the greatest show to ever grace the world of television. Two things to keep in mind, I was 5 and television hadn’t really been around all that long.
What was I to do? Sorry “Munsters”, but the Dynamic Duo won out, but not before much soul-searching and toddler angst. Honestly, I’m not sure that it was actually my choice, even though I remember it that way. I can’t really believe that a 5-year-old with 4 siblings made the decision regarding the family’s viewing choices. It’s possible that I just liked TV way more than my brother’s and sister’s and my folks deferred to us in the early viewing hours.
Perhaps, with five children to watch over, my mom tuned to whatever she thought would keep us the quietest, or maybe my parents were secretly bigger Super Hero fans than even I was, though I doubt it. Well for whatever reason, “Batman” ended up on our television and my life was forever changed. Not really, I just thought the blog needed a snazzier ending.
How about a nifty theme song instead?
