@JimboSaturn Yes i remember ,,, lol ,, we do the same now with commercials ,, you can really tell them apart ,,, lol

@oldercanuck1
i remember when TV was just a rumor; and my fiancée's parent's first set, (7 inch!) purchased for the queen's coronation. My kids were born in the 60s so yes, I was there. Good times but I think maybe the 70's were even better - very open & tolerant and the future was looking hopeful. Changed days!

@Really LOL you got me ,, our set was not much bigger i was three ,,, yes things have changer some for the good some for well lets wait and see ,,, but does not look good ,,,

@Justmeraeagain You were lucky. We didn't get a color TV until I was 14.

@Musicman my older siblings I believe had black and white TV for some time

@DeWayfarer A lot of those remote controls, or "clickers" as many of us called them are about the size of 4 or 5 present day cell phones stacked on top of each other.

@Crazywaterspring well my current cellphone definitely is a bit longer and wider why I said a bit bigger than a pack of cigarettes which is about ⅔rds of my current cell phone in both width and height. Thickness you're close.

@Sidewinder My Dad used to call them converters.

@OldMan70 They were round for a long time - there were some square-corner sets in Germany in the early days, but if you watched the Coronation on UK TV in 1953, it would have been on a 'goldfish bowl'...

@OldMan70 Ha! There was only one channel all the way from 1936 to 1955, with a break for the war. Two hours or so a night to begin with, only within 30 miles of London. It was extended to the Midlands after the war, and a second channel arrived in 1955 - a bunch of people saw the opportunity to make a lot of money out of commercial TV, and did. A third channel (BBC2) arrived in 1964, with a remit to cover more minority interest programming. Channel 4 arrived in 1982...with cable and satellite just around the corner.

@PhoenixPhail oh there are a few of us ,,,,, lol

@swirlie Oh then how do you explain the Lunar Laser Retro-Reflector that was left on the moon by one of the Apollo missions. Scientist still use those mirrors to this day. Cheers!

@swirlie I don't know I watched a Big Bang Theory epoxide about those moon mirrors so it must be true. Cheers!

@Piper I think more shows began to be colour about then as well.

@RuthW69 Could be, about more shows. I remember when other families in the neighborhood got color TV's though, before we moved in late 1966.

@Strictmichael75 I enjoy watching black and white movies now.

@Strictmichael75 I know. Back in the 90's, I had one in my bedroom from the time I was 6 to the time I was 9.

@Reflection2 @Reflection2 I know what you mean.

@RuthW69 It was such simple time. People were so simple around 😔

@Chattermanuk lol same here!

@SW-User I still remember going with my dad to buy our first color TV back in 1975.

@bob01 At first, we got only 3 channels; 4,5 and 9.
Some time later, they added channel 2.

@PhoenixPhail we got 2,4,7,9 and 11
2 was CBS, 4 was NBC, 7 was ABC, 9 was like a pbs and 11 was for the yankees

@Melies we did live close to the border ,, lol

@oldercanuck1 I remember one of my High School teachers telling me about those kind of test patterns.

@Melies

@Rose90 Oh, yeah.
