Same here. Once a year, on one of the three channels we received, it was a rather Big Deal at our place. The only time I ever saw a Dolly Madsen commercial (!). Hot Cocoa. Popcorn. We really had a good time. The family finally got a color tv in around 1978. It might have still been 19”. The moment we realized the movie changed to color once Dorothy arrived in Oz, we all went nuts. A wildly creative surprise for all of us. Things were quite a bit simpler back then, and honestly, maybe quite a bit more fun as a result.

Exactly the same here! Same lived experience. Good times. Thanks for sharing those memories. They are my memories too.
