SCENE: 1950s-early 1960s. Mom, Dad and Buck are in their TV room. Mom is trying to use a remote control--which clearly didn't exist back then--to change the channel on the old TV. Dad is reading the newspaper. Bucky's face is on the TV screen. Meanwhile the real life Bucky is playing with a train set on the floor.

MOM: Why can’t I change the channel? I want to watch the Golden Bachlorette!

DAD: Sorry, dear, Bucky has the parental controls.

BUCKY: It’s for your own good. I can’t let my mom...watch brain-draining reality TV shows.
