I know right!? and don’t forget the occasional holiday movie like The Ten Commandments, which we were practically forced to watch every Easter when it aired on CBS evry year.
We watched The Ten Commandments every year. My whole family sat in the den and watched our fancy Curtis Mathis. I’m not sure how big the screen was, but I think it was a nineteen incher. It was connected to a giant antenna. We had to go outside and turn it when we changed channels or if the signal faded. I don’t remember my dad ever complaining about having to go out in the rain or cold to change the channel. Ours was the nicest set on our street.
My kids have no idea what life was like for those of us who grew up in the sixties and seventies.
