*In the robbery arc, the TV gets stolen.
'''You'd Expect''': Since Calvin's parents don't appear to care much for TV (in an earlier strip, Calvin had mentioned that his Mom doesn't watch TV at all while he's at school), they wouldn't feel the need to have it recovered or replaced. Furthermore, as much as Calvin likes TV, he also likes to read about dinosaurs and present-day animals, and he also often has questions about how appliances work.
'''You'd Therefore Expect''': Calvin's parents would replace the TV with an assortment of books (held in place by metal bookends) that both they and he would find enjoyable, such as (the year was 1989)...

'''The Result''': Calvin detests Rosalyn after every subsequent visit, even when she tries to be nice and offer to make popcorn. He's, in no order, called the cops, tried to run away from home, tried to tie her up, locked her out of the house, and threatened to flush her homework down the drain. After ''several arcs'' of this, only then does Rosalyn get the idea to bribe Calvin by offering to play his favorite game after he finishes his homework. While he's upset that she wins because they're playing CalvinBall, and she's better at making up rules, it's the only time they actually enjoy each other's company.

* Calvin and his parents go to a wedding (Calvin forgets to bring Hobbes).
'''You'd Expect''': Since Calvin doesn't know the bride and groom, his parents would introduce him to them.
'''Instead''': They don't; in fact, Calvin's Mom seems to be the only one with any interest in the wedding.
'''Later''': When the family returns home the next day (they spend the night at a motel), they find that their house has been robbed. Calvin's Mom finds Hobbes under the bed covers. Among the stolen items is their TV.
'''You'd Expect''': Since Calvin's parents don't care much for TV, and Calvin actually does enjoy reading about certain topics, e.g., dinosaurs and other animals, his parents would replace the TV with an assortment of books regarding topics that they can all enjoy together. Good choices would include:

This way, even if the TV were recovered by the police, they could either recycle or donate it. As much as Calvin enjoys watching TV, books such as these would provide him with important pieces of information that he had presumably never obtained from TV. From #26, for instance, he could learn how a carburetor, lightbulb, and vacuum cleaner work. Soon after the robbery strip, he asks his Dad how the latter two appliances work, and his Dad answers that they work by magic. Earlier in the series, Calvin had asked his Dad how the first appliance works ("It's a secret", he answered). Most of the books would fit on top of the cabinet, held in place by metal bookends, and some could be put inside of it. Calvin would thus realize that maybe not having TV isn't so bad, after all.
'''Instead:''' Either they replace the TV, or it is recovered. Either way, as much as Calvin's parents don't appear to like TV, they don't seem to want to part with it any more than he does.

This way, even if the TV were recovered by the police, they could either recycle or donate it. As much as Calvin enjoys watching TV, books such as these would provide him with important pieces of information that he had presumably never obtained from TV. From #22, for instance, he could learn how a carburetor, lightbulb, and vacuum cleaner work. Soon after the robbery strip, he asks his Dad how the latter two appliances work, and his Dad answers that they work by magic. Earlier in the series, Calvin had asked his Dad how the first appliance works ("It's a secret", he answered). Most of the books would fit on top of the cabinet, held in place by metal bookends, and some could be put inside of it. Calvin would thus realize that maybe he doesn't need TV as entertainment, after all.
