When I was a kid there was nothng BUT black and white TV. And you had to tune in the (few) channels with those stupid rabbit ears, or a tower antenna with a box inside the house that you turned the dial click by click till the station was clear. UHF was kinda like the TV equivalent of AM radio now.

Nope, colour for me.

Oh yeah. Black & White with the rabbit ears and the manual tuner dial. Three networks and PBS. Those were the days.

I was raised on black and white TV's. We only got 4 channels, and used pliers to change the channel because the knob was missing.
We got our first color set when I was 11, but my Dad put it in my parents room. He would only bring it into the livingroom for special stuff. We finally got a color one for the livingroom when I was 16.

Black and white TV?? What in the world is that?? ;)
by Babycakes on May 5th, 2008
We didn't get a TV until I was around 8 and it was a black and white.

No - they were too difficult to chew so my parents stuck with regular food.

My first experience with TV was Black & White, only on Sundays at the neighbors apartment. We watched Bonanza. That was in the mid-sixties.

Yes, we got our first TV before color was invented. My Dad bought a "colorizer" for ours that was very funny. It was a piece of see-through, cling-plastic that was colored blue on top, pink in the middle, and green on the bottom. It made the shows look hilarious.

What do you think is the best TV to buy? I was told by 'Best Buy' that Samsung plasma was the BEST.

Gosh! I remember that one of Lucy and Ethel!
by Kw Hudd-Vets-superquack on May 5th, 2008
Funny as heck wasn't it. Back then I wished I was either one of them and had to eat all that chocolate!
by Cognition aka Cog on May 5th, 2008
I recognized it immediately! Without even playing it! And it has been many many years since I saw it!
by Kw Hudd-Vets-superquack on May 5th, 2008
I love this episode!
by Sixty B - Commander Topcoat on May 5th, 2008
Lucy was just a great talent, her eyes were so expressive, pure genius!
by Cognition aka Cog on May 5th, 2008
Such a classic, wonderful, feel-good show! We watch her a lot on Sunday mornings!
by Sixty B - Commander Topcoat on May 5th, 2008
That's neat, me too... I could turn her on right now and escape my thoughts and become happy, that's a great gift she left to society.
by Cognition aka Cog on May 5th, 2008
