You kids with your fancy “tapes!” In my day we had to watch whatever the hell was on the three or four channels we could pick up with the rabbit ears, and we were damn glad to have it!

Once a year they’d show a Bond movie or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, or maybe even that Willie Wonka movie. Such an event!

VCRs didn’t exist until I was a young adult. Doggone spoiled kids!

I vividly remember being a teenager and channel 5 coming out. It was a huge deal

We had to get a VCR in order to get our fifth channel - it was on UHF which our National Panacolor TV could not receive.
