It all started with Fred’s idea of doing a “commentorial” on the various ways people have these weird and almost co-dependent relationships with their tvs, told in the medium of a contemporary fashion spread. The idea probably stemmed from the fact that we both (independently) opted out of tv a number of years ago (Fred for more than 13 years), and in fact no longer have a single tv set. 

Wait. Correction... we now have 6 tvs, which we have no idea what to do with. I may post one of them on Craig’s list as it has a pleasing red glow and a retro faux-wood exterior; I think it could make a cool ambient light source for a mod apartment.
