Ok, I’ll join in -—

I was 12 yrs old (1979) when we got our first color TV...a humongo console thing, which also happened to have a REMOTE CONTROL. Be still my heart.... we were all that and a bag o’chips for awhile.

Holy crap!

My dad finally got us one in 1970 and I remember telling the teacher in school all excited and some of the other kids laughed because they got one years earlier in the 1960s.

It had a remote too.

Hell, we got cable TV in 1976 when it first came through. Dad didnt want to pay for us to go out to see movies anymore,
