What every family wants to know about Television (Jan, 1949)

Will TV really change America’s family habits? A blast from the past from Modern Mechanix.

"... One night just about a year ago, Phil Young came home from his advertising office a tired but not unhappy man. He walked through the living room of his home in Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., looking for his family and then headed toward his den.

As he entered this room, he saw a strangely disturbing sight—16 pairs of eyes glowed up at him from the floor. ‘What’s going on here?” he asked. And from among the eyes his two. children answered reproachfully: “Shhhhh, daddy.” Television had come to Phil Young’s home."
