TeeVee for Beginners, Friday Period Two
"We were going to talk about early TV today," Mitchell announced. He was looking just a little antsy. Might've been the monsters outside. "But considering the circumstances, I'll leave you to the television itself. Er... they used to stage TV more like plays back in the day, with programmes that had a completely new story with different writers and cast every airing. This is an example of a show a bit like that, focusing on the strange and unexplained."
Mitchell just wanted to sit down and watch TV and try not to think about what was going on outside. "Please stay in the class," he said, "I've never seen one of those things before." And he'd seen quite a lot. He held up a hand. "Just-- stay here. The administration will handle what's going on outside."
Then he snagged the remote and turned on the set. "See what you can learn from the television," he said, and draped himself over the couch.
After a beat, he added, "That goes twice for you, George."
