A Perspective About the Growing-Obsolete Pay-Phone

A pay-phone may be as obsolete as a black-and-white television set. Currently, it is unusual to find them. We can still find a pay-phone when we are in-need, at hospitals and grocery stores etc... but not so much at gas stations and party stores, like we were once able to.

The cell-phone has basically replaced the ol' pay-phones. The places where the phones used to be located/anchored, may only have a remnant of a place where a pay-phone was housed and engaged to. Perhaps, because of the costs for the lot owners to keep the pay-phones up... the pay-phones that used to be so receptive our our coin -- are now just memories for us, of a time that never 'included' the cell-phone.

We now live in a time, that seems to be 'excluding' the pay-phone.

What Could 'Bewitched' - 'Three's Company' - and 'Two and a Half Men', Possibly Have in Common?

My first thought is this: You can take the Charlie Sheen out of the Two and a Half Men, but if you take away that kind of unique wit, and try to replace it with a substitute, it may be like replacing Suzanne Somers (on Three's Company), with Jenilee Harrison. The character may be a part of similar dynamics in the show, and allow the show to carry-on -- however, the primary association of the actor playing the original character will (undoubtedly) be greatly missed by many. The program may seem to the viewers, that something is (obviously) missing.

Hopefully, Two and a Half Men will have many successful years with Aston Kutcher, and he will add to the show in many positive ways. Perhaps, we can see how well (back-in-the-day) we (as viewers of Bewitched), adjusted to Dick York being replaced by Dick Sargent (as the part of Darrin); and apply the same kind of openmindedness, that we did back in the days of Bewitched.
