I watched about half of Terra Nova last night on Fox.
”Terra Nova is an American science fiction drama television series that began to air on Fox on Monday nights. It premiered on September 26, 2011 with a two-hour episode.[3]Plot
The show begins in the year 2149, a time when all life on planet Earth is threatened with extinction due to dwindling worldwide air quality and overpopulation. At Hope Plaza, a massive ring shaped structure in Chicago, scientists discover a rift in space-time that allows people to travel 85 million years back in time to the late Cretaceous period on the prehistoricEarth of an alternate reality, offering a chance to save humanity. The Shannon family (father Jim, his wife Elisabeth, and their three children Josh, Maddy, and Zoe) join the tenth pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, the first human colony on the other side of the temporal doorway.[4]
The Shannon Family starts a new life in Terra Nova while having to deal with carnivorous dinosaurs and the Sixers (a splinter faction that has been opposed to Terra Nova ever since arriving in prehistoric times during the sixth pilgrimage)…”
That should be the type of TV show that I like. But it just did not do anything for me for some reason. I am not sure why it did not appeal to me.
There is just so much other stuff on TV.
I remember when there was no TV. I can remember waiting for the first TV broadcast. Then later we had 3 TV stations and then later our first UHF station. A few years ago before cable and the Internet and a show like Terra Nova would have been great. Now it is sort of oh hum.. big deal.. who cares.
The photo above is from December of 1950. The TV was black and white of course.
On the left is my mother’s father. Yes, the one that was in the KKK back when he was much younger.
That is me on the right. We were watching cartoons.
