Still lacking cable, P.L. Islanders fondly reminisce about tv shows they once thought they hated.

In a Pondering Lake poll conducted 12 years ago, 95% of all residents classified tv programming as "mostly crap," citing broad humor, cheesy jokes and bad acting as chief culprits. In fact, "No cable access" was cited as a primary reason they loved living on the lake. This past week, Pondering Lake News went back to the same group, and was surprised to learn that 95% now remember tv as being "mostly really great," and "a really fun time." Pressed for an explanation, sitcom fan John Wicklow said, "Right now, you might say you hate Spam. Hate it! But come see me after having nothing at all to eat for a week. You'll think it's filet mignon."  

Another classic.
