Considering the class of people who stay at the Salem Inn, the management is probably afraid to put flat screens in the rooms. Why spend good money on modern TVs when they are likely to be smashed during a guest's temper tantrum, wrecked during a brawl, knocked over while guests are in the throes of passion or hate boinking, or even have bullets fired into them during the latest murder attempt? Instead, they probably cruise the streets of Salem looking for old sets that have been left at the curb, fix them up a bit, and then stick them in the rooms.
