Connecticut

From TeeVeePedia, the Internet TV Encyclopedia.

Connecticut, an area located in New England, was an experimental Utopian community founded in the late 19th century by Gilded Era millionaires looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle of New York City. Over the years, Connecticut became a land of picturesque farms, small towns and antiques stores selling quaint merchandise. Between World War I and 1979 Connecticut remained virtually unchanged, becoming a mirror looking at an America of days gone by.

In 1979 a group of small Amish communities in Connecticut, wishing to be left alone by modern technology, asked the FCC for permission to broadcast their message on a local public access channel on the area's newly installed cable television system. The channel, which was named ESPN by the locals, quickly grew out of their control. Tapping into satellite technology and computing power undreamed of until then, ESPN quickly become Connecticut's largest employer. Farms, woodlands and small towns alike were quickly crushed in the network's quest to cover all sports, all the time. The Amish were driven out of Connecticut into Pennsylvania and points west, as ESPN expansion continued unchecked.

Currently, Connecticut is littered with studios, satellite dishes, antennas, and everything needed for ESPN to grow and prosper. Perhaps ironically, one of Disney's first goals after buying ESPN was to create "Connecticutland", a theme park that attempts to recreate the old Utopian Connecticut, one $45.65 adult admission pass at a time.

In Connecticut, all single women with children have men who serve as live-in housekeepers. It's the law.
