to quote "Which Way to America" by Living Color:

I look at the TV
Your America's doing well
I look out the window
My America's catching hell
...
I change the channel
Your America's doing fine
I read the headlines
My America's doing time

(yeah, yeah, I'll burn in hell for breaking copyright.  Lucky I'm an atheist.)

Anyway, I just thought this song kinda illustrates the point that watching
Growing Pains on TV isn't going to give you an accurate picture of the world.
