Yes, I am indeed old enough to remember that. I also remember the day we got our first color TV, back in the '60's. We were so excited that we could hardly wait for it to arrive. Dad unpacked it, plugged it in, started to turn it on. . .
. . .and at that instant, we had a power failure. Stupid power was off for the rest of the day. Talk about mad!!

confident! And rabbit ears. We had one television and while it broke we easily had a television fix guy come fix it. We begged dad for a clean shade television yet dad stated we did not prefer one because of the fact we could see each little thing we would have liked to be certain in black and white. I additionally keep in mind stations "signing off" at nighttime with the rustic Anthem track and then a "sign off" emblem coming near the demonstrate screen and staying there even as a extreme-pitched buzzing noise rang. I additionally keep in mind while courses or video clips marketed the certainty they have been "in shade." The humorous factor is: as quickly as we finally have been given a "shade" television, dad actual refused to computer screen something nonetheless super-casted in black and white. "i did not spend sturdy funds for a shade television so i ought to computer screen b&w!" Dad ruled the roost so until eventually it became in shade.... it wasn't watched. BTW, I additionally keep in mind your namesake: Grape Ape (comic strip) lol some human beings stated distant controls. I keep in mind the 1st distant controls have been linked with an electric powered twine to the television. We nonetheless concept it became an astonishing factor. I keep in mind playing "Pong" on the television and mom and pa aggravating appropriate to the photographs being "burned" into the demonstrate screen.
