    The don’t sit too close part was because kids with bad eyesight would sit closer to the TV, so parents started associating it but reversed cause and effect; they believed that sitting too close made their eyesight worse, which it didn’t

    I mean the 50s ones probably did but everything in the 50s was harmful
