I’m 66 and I recall staring at the TV and at this exact test pattern for long periods of time, waiting for the Houston TV station to come online with a program from the “network”.

You people are missing the point! This thread is about the instrumentals, not the patterns themselves!

Here is a YouTube video set to Kaempfert's That Happy Feeling, the greatest test pattern instrumental of them all. Does anyone out there know any of the titles or performers of others?

How many people are nostalgic for watching the tv picture tube turn completely OFF as the picture shrank down to dot before fading out?
