In the pre-remote and pre-cable days, the kids of the family were the channel changers, antenna tuners, and volume controls. :lol:

My family, too. I did my share of channel changing, and "move it up, no, move it down" duty!:lol:
 
I still remember feeling the void when Walter Cronkite stopped broadcasting news.

I remember Casey Jones, if it's the same one.

Not likely. Mine was a regional show.
Casey & Roundhouse
I didn't like wrestling but I like Destruction Derby and Roller Derby.

I do recall Roller Derby also. The Bay Area Bombers and Midwest Pioneers, among other teams. Joan Weston.

lol! I can never forget shows being 30 minutes long. I usually watch tv after school to wind down before going out to play or Kumon :mad2:

Family Matter. Saved By The Bell. Who can ever forget that Mr. Belding's awkward laugh? :lol:

lol I used to be instructor for kumon. Almost 4 years. Wonder if you were under me? :cool2:

Reason our generation of shows sucked was because there was nothing to watch as kid. I'm not sure east coast but for west, if you watched tv between 23:00 to 14:00 (11pm to 2pm) or it was just a bunch of drama or infomercial tv stuff like Judge tv or some crap. I remember I came home to watch dennis the menace, cartoons were over in 1-2 hours and then go play until evening and it has the better shows, like combat/ww2 related stuff. That was cooler.

Oh, that reminds me. We had to constantly adjust the vertical and horizontal. The screen would flip, flip, flip . . . Grrrr!
 
Thank goodness I got to be lazy after 2-3 years. I remember we had a knob TV until we got the better remote one when I was over five years old.

The rolling picture! I forgot about that. Or when a plane would fly over the house, the picture would flicker and get fuzzy for a minute. Sometimes, those planes came at the worst times...:mad:

Yep. I enjoyed that program, too, although it didn't inspire me to play "Margie." :lol:

You mean you didn't do the "That's my Dad; I raised him from childhood; that is, my childhood......." routine? :D

Say, does television still do the civil defense warning/alerts?

Yep. Gave me motion sickness!

Remember the pink and green of the first color TVs? I thought everyone on Bonanza either had a horrible sunburn or was sick to their stomach.:P
