Just thinking about all the things I learned from TV that I never learned in school.

I think the best was watching MASH and learning how to do a tracheotomy (sp?) when Hawkeye had to talk Father Malchahy through the procedure.

Learned a lot of cool stuff from the first two seasons of MacGuyver, but forgot it all. And the networks won't show those in repeats for liability reasons. Hope they come out on DVD some day.

Edit- Oh yeah, I learned how to turn bamboo and a bubbling swamp into exploding methane spears and how to use a bubblegum wrapper to replace a fuse form MacGuyver. -End Edit

So, what have you learned from TV?

Dent,
I think everyone learned how to do an emergency trachiotamy with a pen knife and a ball point pen because of that show,
I just haven't been able to put it to good use yet.

You don't wait for the opportunity, you MAKE the opportunity happen. And yes, I remember that episode as well.

I also learned from that series that you can turn a dead baby into a chicken.

I learned that there are no black people in New York.
I learned that if life had cut scenes, we'd all be having a lot more sex.
I learned that book editors get the most pussy EVER!!

I learned most high school students are middle aged.

if you live in beverly hills you're bound to be driving a really nice car!
