I was born in ‘68 but I vaguely remember the color knob.
The manual channel changer I definitely recall.
And trying to get the naughty movies that barely got reception to be watchable :)

Has story of the battle of competing types of color TV sets. As always there is a betamax and vhs style fight. Darwin must have planned all that.
Saw an FBI dvd episode batch recently that resolutely intones “In Color”-—just as the funny opening of Leslie Neilsen Police Squad. They were so proud of that.

Fiddling with the rabbit ears.
Dad up on the roof jiggling the antenna and re-pointing it.
Smacking the side of the set.
Dad changing the picture tube by himself. He taught me how to discharge the big capacitors to avoid getting killed.
