The show is called "Hyokkori Hyotanjima" (Popped-up Gourd Island). It was an immensely popular children's show at that time (1966). Several characters that appeared in the film were amazingly realistic. The theme song of the show was also very popular. We see Taeko getting over her disappointment, singing this song with the refrain "We don't want to cry, so let's laugh - Go ahead!" For other cultural aspects of this movie, see the script.

No. Our eyes benefit from being used. If eyes feel “tired” or “strained” they should be rested, but normal activity won’t harm vision.

I like to read, write, and think. I like to stay up all night contemplating life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Not at all. Our eyes are meant to be used. Like other organs of the body, they benefit from exercise. Should our eyes become tired or "strained," they can be refreshed with a rest.

Please check "Sound System" set in "TV" menu, make sure you have selected "I". There is no sound output when you select "DK" or "BG". TV panel and tuner box couldn't be used separately. It is because tuner box would transmit signal to TV for turning on TV panel.

For watching tv in linux using a tv-tuner card the most common way of getting the tv sound input is by using a short audio cable that connects on one end to the tv card and the other end to the line-in jack on a sound card. This way there is always audio data being pumped to the sound card's line-in. The most common problem is that the tv-tuner audio output is not connected correctly to the sound card input (usually line-in).

The reasons for this have as much to do with the physical effects of the medium on the developing child as with the (to say the least) questionable content of much of the programming. Electronic media are believed by Waldorf teachers to seriously hamper the development of the child's imagination - a faculty which is believed to be central to the healthy development of the individual. Computer use by young children is also discouraged. Waldorf teachers are not, by the way, alone in this belief.

Please enter the viewing of the child under two years of age by writing their name in a blank column. Record what they watch just as you would for any adult.

Draw a line down all of these columns from the "X" to indicate how long the child watched the program or movie.

If the TV is on, but no one is watching or listening, mark an "X" in the column labeled "TV on but no one Watching / Listening". The column is located at the far right side of the diary pages.

Kibo's not on one of the channels you can watch. He's on one of the channels you can FEEL. The Special Channel. You don't need a TV set to get The Special Channel, you just have to stand in the middle of a busy intersection with your hands over your head, which must be wrapped in aluminum foil. If you concentrate real hard, you may PICK UP SOMETHING!

WTTV and the other TV stations in Indianapolis utilize the Nielsen ratings service to determine the ratings of their programs.

The problem is to do with how mplayer grabs video, versus audio for playing television. Mplayer grabs the video from the TV card and runs it through it's own layer before putting it on the screen, the audio, on the other hand, is passed through a cable from the TV card to your sound card (in most cases) and thus there is a delay, depending on the speed of your machine between the audio, and the video showing up the screen since the video must pass through mplayer first.
