![]() That feeling is also true for The Monkees. ![]() Whenever I catch it on TV now I cringe and wonder how could I ever been so easily amused. My friend Connell and I use Gilligan Island as our example of being young and stupid. But as I got older I could no longer watch it. I loved Gilligan’s Island back in 1964 when it first aired. So I’m developing some theories about why my brain is broken. Every once in a while, I find one that my mind will latch onto, but it’s getting rarer. Every evening I try getting into several movies and TV shows. The TV watcher part of my brain has broken. I started watching television with the 1955-1956 season, but sometime in 2021, I began noticing I had a problem, maybe even earlier, but it’s painfully obvious in 2022. ![]() I’ve got sixty-seven years of solid practice watching TV, so why am I losing this skill now? Some of my earliest memories are of watching TV when I was four. Because I’m a lifelong TV addict used to filling my evenings with the boob tube, this is disturbing. If I’m watching television with Susan or a friend I have no trouble settling into the show, but if I’m alone, I often abandon a show after five or ten minutes. In the past year or two, when I try to watch TV by myself, I have the hardest time getting into a TV show or movie. I seem to be losing my ability to watch television. ![]()
