  Television played an interesting role in my life. Of course, as a toddler I had my favorite shows – I even had a ‘Barney’ doll that I would sit with any time Barney and Friends came on. However, as I got older, I stopped watching TV as much. With a dad and an older brother who didn’t share my television tastes, I preferred to read books instead or watch the odd movie with them. As the Internet got more extensive, streaming movies and TV shows became easy. It opened a world of viewing without commercial breaks, and I loved it. Gus Silber, Pop Culture expert
