Couch potato �看电视的人

Why should I go out to see a movie or a concert---it is a lot more comfortable to stay at home. I have cable TV, which gives me a choice of 30 different programs. Why, I can see a championship fight right in my living room. Or I can rent a good movie for a couple of bucks and watch it on my VCR., K: r' T' @# N4 t' F* g1 C

Ten different movie theaters, and a whole lot of people to watch, you know? I can, like, spend the whole day there, you know?
