Are you suggesting they had a choice? The comparison would probably be with those who *chose* never to see a movie in those days. (Excluding all those who couldn't afford to go of course)

So do you really think you could have been smarter than her by simply NOT watching TV?

**Indeed.
There are lots of good educational
**In those days government schools could hardly afford TV sets. Hell, by the time I was in high school, there was only one TV set in the whole school. We all sat around it (1,000 of us) watching the Moon landing. **No TV is the school back then. Not one.**Possibly.

A TV shop across the street from my elementary school brought over two color TVs and put up an antenna to let everyone watch the first televised 'Project Mercury' manned mission.
I had a Zenith 12" B&W portable TV in my bedroom to watch the moon landings along with a reel to reel tape recorder to record the news coverage of each mission. Unfortunately the tapes were stolen, and taped over before they were recovered.

We had a TV from the time I started school, but we only got to watch a couple hours a day, and only after our homework was done. I scored the highest in most categories in the aptitude tests, and in some I was the only one to get a perfect score in the entire school system.
