Oh you young whippersnappers.
You are so used to your iphones that you missed the golden age of black and white TV. :)
I was about 12 when my parents finally got color TV and cable TV was years away. I was sure my parents were cheapskates
NFhale, you definitely relate to Panic in The Year Zero. Right?
Speaking of cheapskates, you are talking to the youngest man in America who’s phone is not so smart.
My uncle rolled his eyes at me!
“...I was about 12 when my parents finally got color TV and cable TV was years away...”
It was about 1968 when we got our color TV - either a Motorola or Magnavox (I know it began with an “M”) Console TV - had a, AM/FM Stereo radio in one side, a 25 inch color CRT screen in the center, and a turntable “Hi-Fidelity” Stereo in the other side.
Saturday morning cartoons became alive at that point. And - you’ll laugh at this - I remember seeing black and white 1950s monster movies on it and being TOTALLY confused... “but this is a COLOR TV... why aren’t these in color???”
I was about 7 or 8 then.
