For those that did not 'get' my reference to TV as the 'vast wasteland' --- that is a shout-out to Newton Minnow, the FCC Chairman in the 60s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_N._Minow?useskin=vector

The TV industry was ticked off by that comment, and do you recall the name of the ship on Gilligan's Island? The S.S. Minnow
