When I was a kid—long, long, long ago—my family was
watching a television sitcom, one evening.
It was a show called The Munsters.
(Remember that one?)
At one point, during the broadcast, my mom said, “Oh,
come on!”
She was indicating that what was happening in the
storyline of the show was unrealistic.
I just was sitting here and that moment from long
ago popped into my mind and I laughed.
Are you enjoying the humor of this?
My mom was accusing The Munsters of not being realistic.
“Really, mom?
There’s something in the plot of The Munsters that isn’t realistic?!?”
I know, I’m easily amused. But it really is fun for me to think about
the fact that my mom was charging The Munsters with an inaccurate portrayal of
reality. She really could be a riot!
Fortunately, in those days—even though we had to put
up with the silly nonsense of The Munsters—there were also moments when we
could balance it out with the gritty dramatic realism of Gilligan’s Island.
