I am child of the TV Golden Era (1965 to about 1990 and the explosion of Cable TV). As kid on any given weekday evening the dinner table was a TV tray, and the meal was eaten from preformed aluminium gratis Swanson's and included: 1) a Chicken leg with mashed potatoes and corn, 2) Swiss Steak with mashed potatoes and carrots & peas, or 3) Turkey breast on stuffing with mashed potatoes and green beans. And then nightly news followed by a stead stream of whatever was the most interesting TV programs on the air.
This it comes again, that at the end of the year, I am drawn to remember the actors who have passed and whose presence with me during dinner created such a false sense of intimacy...a faux family.
