From special event to money grab

  When I was a kid, right up to my 30's maybe, The Wizard of Oz was an annual rite for me. It was showed once, and only once a year. I admit it, I looked forward to it. It was special, something I shared with my grandmother when g I was younger. You looked forward to it every year, and got excited the closer it got. You couldn't even buy it on VHS, or later DVD. The only chance to see it was that one time a year. Then, all of the sudden, someone obviously realized that a ton of money could be made by releasing it to video, and subsequently showing it on t.v. Now, it seems its on constantly, so much so that we'll turn it on, only to get bored and change the channel. Yet another thing from my childhood that actually meant something to me ruined in the name of the almighty buck!
