In the 80s it was a right of passage to camp out for days to get tickets to a concert. Today I’d rather eat gas station sushi than go out and wait in line for a tv or anything. Just order online or go without.
And honestly who doesn’t already have a tv? And kids don’t even watch tv (well, YouTube) except on phones these days!
I remember the "Cabbage Patch" craze of Christmas of '83, remember when a B-29 bomber was supposed to fly out, take a picture of your Credit Card (you held it up to the sky-norden bomb site), and then 1 doll would be dropped from the WW II nuclear bomber.
Not that this was a feasible idea, but the fact that the stadium (Cincinnati?) actually had people in it.
It's everywhere.... The hype. I made the mistake of going out on Friday (subconsciously thinking it was an online thing) to Boe, the out of town pre-fab shopping zone outside Agen (SW France)... The busiest I have ever seen it. Plastic tat a-gogo... I try hard to be a humanist but days like that...

I used to have a TV but then the cowboys lost even against the Texans and I just had to trash it 😀
