Do you know why?<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/misc\/TV\/newHeroesTV.jpg\" target=\"blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/misc\/TV\/newHeroesTV-thumb.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\"><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/heroeswiki.com\/Yatta!\" target=\"blank\">Yatta!<\/a><\/center><br \/>\nYep, we got <a href=\"http:\/\/reviews.cnet.com\/flat-panel-and-plasma\/panasonic-tc-32lx70-32\/4505-6482_7-32414590.html\" target=\"blank\">this little baby<\/a>.  This is the second TV in a row that Dad has gotten for us after our old one gave up the ghost.  He gave us a wad o &#8216;cash and sent us on our merry way.  I looked <i>everywhere<\/i> for the TV we wanted, and couldn&#8217;t find it anywhere except Circuit City.<\/p>\n<p>Circuit City is always the last resort because of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2007\/03\/28\/AR2007032802185.html\" target=\"blank\">ill-considered and callous firings of long-time sales staff<\/a> they did earlier this year.  The only place in town I was able to find any Panasonic flat-screen TVs at all was a local hh gregg, and it was 4 inches smaller than the 30 inch we wanted, and it was turned off in the store, <i>and<\/i> nobody seemed to know anything about it.  Three strikes!  So I was forced to go to Circuit City.  They happened to be having a Labor Day sale and had $200 off the price of the 32&#8243; model, so that decided it.  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/misc\/TV\/muppetTV.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" align=\"right\">I felt a little better about my purchase after reading that their firings were coming back to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2007\/05\/01\/AR2007050101623.html\" target=\"blank\">bite them in the butt<\/a>.  How the heck they didn&#8217;t see that coming, I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>I got the assistant manager to help me, had it loaded into the car, and it was set up very quickly by my geek husband.  Emily proclaimed it to be a very pretty TV, and &#8220;soooo nice!&#8221;  She commented on its niceness a couple of times through the evening, probably because we put it to immediate use for her, as pictured to the right. Is it normal for an eight-year-old to say they want to see Connie Stevens?<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re thrilled, and have been going through our DVD collection to enjoy the wide screen beauty.  And do you know what looks better on this TV?<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/misc\/TV\/newTVNbNW.jpg\" target=\"blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/misc\/TV\/newTVNbNW-thumb.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/misc\/TV\/newTVFF.jpg\" target=\"blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/misc\/TV\/newTVFF-thumb.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/misc\/TV\/newLoATV.jpg\" target=\"blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/misc\/TV\/newLoATV-thumb.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\"><\/a><br \/>\nEVERYTHING.<br \/>\nTHANKS, DAD!!<br \/>\n<\/center><br \/>\n<br clear=all><\/p>\n<p><i>(Jayne hats up for: S.
