Was the same at my grandparents house,they had an old G.E. black n white T.V.
That they bought new in the 50's that lasted until the early 70's then they got a wood consol Zenith color set,i still remember my grandfather would say every time they turned it on: My God Stella,look at the colors ! Did you ever think we d see such a thing? My God, will ya look at that,GUNSMOKE in color!
They liked to
Watch Disney,Wild Kingdom and Lawrence Welk,but my grandfather HATED Lawrence Welk with a passion,loved the show,hated him.All he did was yell at the T.V. ," I wish that mumbling bastard would shut the hell up!""why the hell does he have to talk all the time?" Fun times with Bryers ice cream in the living room.I m sitting in that very room right now.
