We asked writers: Did you grow up with a black-and-white Motorola or maybe a Blockbuster Video membership?  Did you witness the birth of MTV, when “video killed the radio star?” Did you binge watch game shows or soap operas while home sick from school?

When we want a story other than our own, we often turn to television. Has a TV show or character changed your life? Have you hosted a group viewing event like the Super Bowl or the Academy Awards? Maybe you’ve worked in television as a writer, producer, or crew member; or perhaps you’ve been on camera, delivering lines, waiting for the red light, or clicking the buzzer on Jeopardy!  Who shares the couch and the popcorn with you? And how do you decide what to watch? Stay tuned and tell us your TV story in 650 words.
