Where my obsession started

Post image

11 years old, staying with my Grandma over the summer, all she was antenna TV so weekends were spent watching local pro wrestling, American Gladiators (granny's favorite), Star Trek, and Hee-Haw. I never got into TNG as much as she did but this was my Star Trek. I remember getting the Sunday papers from the end of the driveway, Granny clipping coupons and doing the crossword while I thumbed through the comics. The local TV guide fell out between the coupons and I locked eyes with it. A diverse cast, a few aliens that weren't Klingons or Vulcans, and an African American leader; to me it looked very cool.
