How far we’ve come

I love my TiVo. I have it set to look for “pierced” or “piercing” in show descriptions and then record those. It picked up an old episode of the Cosby Show from 1985 when Theo had his ear pierced. I forgot how funny that show was. That was 18 years ago! The sad thing is that I remember when it was on NBC, Thursday nights.

Isn’t it funny how something like a guy getting his ear pierced was such a big deal back then. Today, it’s not a big deal. Today, it’s gone beyond the earlobes. It’s not just about where, but how big.
