There was a time when friends and relatives would gather 'round and share stories, recounting exciting adventures or risky escapades with one another, sometimes in a show of one-upmanship and other times as a means of embracing a commonality (or camaraderie?).
Lately though all the faulty recollections of misspent youth have fallen to the wayside, replaced by shared memories of favorite episodes of television shows that were projected by cathode ray tubes onto small phosphorescent screens boasting 480 lines of dodgy resolution.
Nothing sparks the good ol' warmth of nostaglia like a shared memory of a favorite episode of the original Hawaii 5-0, especially when the memory of the episode is augmented by a sidebar expounding on the adjustment of either a set of rabbit ears that sat atop the television set or a huge, roof-mounted antenna to improve the signal reception.
