I do find it funny that people in smaller cities and such considered it a worthwhile expense to buy a TV when there was only one channel to watch.

You could see the local news, and sometimes a football game, and "The Wizard of Oz" once a year!

We had SIX tv stations...abc, nbc and cbs. Yes, SIX: We got both twice. Halfway between Bakersfield and Fresno, we got each from each.

TV, however, DID have a short day...starting at about 6 in the morning and ending at 12 or 1 AM. The TV day began and ended with The Star Spangled Banner.
