Commentary:

They are easily hypnotized by television. I guess Cyan appreciates it because it reminds him of home, all the communication using pictures. Red is just entranced by a sitcom. No one in the town owns a television, so this is a very special find. I’m haven’t decided if the television is in black and white simply because it’s an old TV, being locked in a cave for who knows how long, or if they just haven’t gotten color television in Grumblecamp yet. But now that they have a TV in a cave, it becomes another one of their occasionally visited hang out spots.
