BookThief January 21, 2015 Share January 21, 2015 T is for the TV I'm not sure we ever actually saw... but we know they watched The Cosby Show on Thursdays, and Blanche and Rose watched an I Love Lucy marathon, and Dorothy probably watched her favorite nightly show, Jeopardy (Wowee!), and Sophia had a few schemes to buy a nicer one. And of course, long ago Dorothy and Sophia were both going to buy the other a TV and get the family together to watch Make Room For Daddy(?). So for something that sure came up a lot in the writing, we sure didn't see it much... 1 Link to comment
Miss Chevious January 21, 2015 Share January 21, 2015 BookTheif, we did see a TV in one episode, a giant TV Sophia bought when she thought Dorothy was earning extra money with another job.
