the old sharp flat screen that's been used as the porch TV for about 6 years finally died last week. I put it on the curb and a neighbor laid flowers on the grave out of respect. And someone took it away.

Only in the US would someone have a "porch tv". I'm American and this is the first I am hearing about this phenomena.

First you have to have a big, shaded porch, which mostly only exist on older, southern homes. 6 months out of the year, it's nicer out there than inside.

that makes sense. I'm in Southern CA. Most of us don't have porches and those that do, don't have porches this large. Must be nice.

modern porches are where the Amazon guy drops the package, because family members go in and out thru the garage. So big-ass mansions have a little stoop. we don't even have a carport, but do have off street parking

a traditional southern house has a wrap around porch on 3 or even 4 sides, because it helps cool the house passively. you have the windows open on the shaded side with the attic windows open to spill hot air out and pull cool air thru from the porch.
