re: #168 GeneJockey

We didn’t get color TV until Pap and Gran got a new set to replace the one they got for their 50th Anniversary in 1966. It had patches of purple and green by the time we got it, sometime in the early-mid 70s.

From ‘65 til ‘68 I was living with my grandparents in a small town where 30 ft tall antenna towers had to be used to get the 2 stations available. The picture was grainy as hell. Hockey and Startrek were the only ‘had to watch’ TV programs for me. Christian shows were always on, but I spent most of my time reading or outside.
