When we bought our first house in 1983, It still had a party line.

I remember these rabbit ears.

Kids don't watch much TV anymore.
Because technology advances us humans don't ya know....

Today kids are;

We had a small black and white tv with rabbit ears. Later on my father bought a color television. I can remember the vacuum tube replacement shelf at the corner neighborhood store.

I remember the T.V. Repairman coming out and replacing some tubes.

The market had a tube tester and I frequented it!

Me too. Plus Davy Crockett with Fess Parker around 1954.

I don't even have a TV any more. Haven't had it for decades. Turns out the Newton Minnow was right after all.

I was handed down my family's black and white TV when I moved out on my own at 17. I figured I'd upgrade to a color set when it died. It was still working fine in the mid-eighties when my then girlfriend, now wife made me buy a color TV.

Does anyone remember when TV stations would play the national anthem before signing off?

Dang Lugnut you are old if you remember the sign off music. I do quite vividly. Black and White times.

I think I use to hear that after watching late nite Chillie Billie Cardille of Chiller Theater. A few buddies use to get together and watch the spooky and outer space stuff.

Doesn't seem like it was that long ago to me.

Bob, when I lived in SW PA, I remember watching Chillie Billie. He was a local celebrity. By coincidence, when I was in Las Vegas in 1978, Chillie and the black haired young girl on his program sat two tables from me at a Vegas show but that is another story since I don’t think I was supposed to see him.
