My 19 year old tv just died on me
in the middle of watching last nights Daily Show while I'm sitting at home in the waiting out a snow storm with my son who's home from school.

I guess it's time to get creative :)

6. So true
you know I'm not sure I'd even go out and get a new TV if it wasn't for my son and the sometimes company I might have over to watch movies etc

If you have cable, you can get a great set for very low price.

9. Nineteen years of commercials can only be fatal.
I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.
