re: #336 wheat-dogghazi-mailgate

I was a lucky kid. Since my dad was in the TV fixin’ business, we had an RCA cabinet model in the 1960s, later a Magnavox or a Motorola, and then a Zenith, IIRC. Plus, my folks had a 19” in their bedroom, I had a 13” in mine, and we had another 13” in the kitchen. Being a dealer for the companies meant he got demo models.

Needless to say, we all watched a lot of TV.

It wasn’t until recently that I ever had a TV in my room. I usually just kept one in the den (both my former houses had dens). One TV was all I allowed, and I told the kids if they wanted one in their room when they were older, they’d have to buy it. : )
