I also remember the very first tvs to the public. They were like a piece of furniture with a very small screen.

My neighborhood and especially my house was late to TV, but I do remember Kitirik on TV, and chasing the DDT fogging trucks while running full speed, lungs gasping for air.
The DDT fogging trucks looked like they were laying down military level smoke fields over our streets and homes, we loved them as kids, both for the “smoke”, and the fact that they were killing the hated masses of mosquitoes.

there are few places in the world less comfortable than the Deep South in August...the combination of humidity and heat is roughYou really have to add in the swarms of mosquitos and the chiggers to get the whole picture.

Most of tv was a screen with those odd marks due to no one having anything on them. When they got better my great grandmother loved wrestling even if it was fake. My great uncle ran the Robinson Auditorium in Little Rock for years. He told us they were fake.
We were not allowed outside when the fog trucks came in.

At my first job in the mid 80’s we had a server room that needed extra cooling so they inserted a window unit in the wall and exited the hot sticky air into the room with the consoles where we worked. Then they bumped up our flow from the building air so we would be alternately hot and sticky or freezing, but it was always noisy so they bought us hearing protectors. I still have that pair.
