[Blindtlk] New NBC Show is about a GraduatefromGuideDog Foundation

[Gary Wunder]

Hi, Erica. I agree that we see many shows on TV that slam any group they please. They have taken on every minority one can conceive of and all the groups that comprise the majority. Nothing is taboo on these shows. The only thing I can hope is that no one takes characters on South Park or Family Guy seriously, and some of these shows to purport to portray people who actually could be one's neighbor.

Writers and producers done some things on Simpsons and South park that weren't Kosher either.  I guess the older generation doesn't watch these shows but they remember "Mr. Magoo" and "The miracle Worker".  I'm glad there will be a show focused on a  blind man doing things like the rest of the world does them.  it will get people hopefully seeing that  Helen Keller isn't the only disabled person who can live life to the fullest.  Just getting the world to see we marry and divorce like anyone else is a triumph. 
Most people don’t' know that Annie Sullivan was visual impaired herself. 
That shows that we can be independent more than anything else.  Annie was just there to supplement Helen's hearing loss.
