Why I Don't Watch Much Television

Peter and I were watching Scooby Doo in Where's My Mummy? and saw Scooby and Shaggy padlock a "zombie" in a sarcophagus during a classic "run from the monster" scene. The tomb is later flooded, and it is discovered that these "zombies" were Velma's friends, helping to scare tomb raiders. I kept thinking - did anyone go find him, did anyone recognize he was missing? Did he die, locked in the tomb, when the whole thing flooded? Just because of a mistake? I started panicking, just a little bit. I had to keep telling myself, "It's only a movie. It's a cartoon, for heaven's sake".

I've had nightmares from commercials for movies. I've had nightmares from commercials for other shows.

Can you imagine what would happen if I watched a Steven King? I could die of anxiety. I'd better stay on the meds, and keep the TV off.
