    Honey, I remember when we got the FIRST TV invented practically. I think it was a Sylvania.  It was black and white and then the color didn't come about until about 1960 or later.  I am going from memory.   But I remember that first TV from about 1954 or so.

    We got our first TV in the early 50s and our first color TV in 63.

    I didn't live in a house with a color TV until around 1975/76. Our TV died and  I wanted to get another 19" B/W but hubby wanted color.  We got a 19" Zenith in a great big wooden box thay weighed a ton.  We got CATV at the same time.  I still had little interest in TV.  That hasn't changed.

    Oh didn't you hear, carbon?  According to some great minds that were on here, the moon landing was just a hoax.

    If Trump says it, then for sure it is true.

    I remember getting our first black and white tv too.. I was amazed and thought it was the height of technology... my daughter saw a black and white cartoon a while ago and said, 'Oh, was that before they invented interesting.. '  Kids have noooo idea.

    Kids today couldn't handle going back to that now.
    I wouldn't like it much either because I am pretty attached to my remote control LOL.

    I think it was in the early 60s, but not sure of the exact year.

    That'd be 1978.  We had no money growing up ad TV's were a luxury.  Our first TV was a 6" B/W Philco my uncle gave us in 1966.  By 1969, when it got warm (about 45 minutes)  the picture would turn into a small dot.  It'd have to cool down before we could watch it again.

    Seems to me that it was 'round about 1968 or 1969 because I remember (I think) the first Superbowl was in B&W, and I'm pretty sure I watched the Jets beat Baltimore in color. Not sure about Superbowl II whether it was color or not. Maybe.  
    I got rid of TV. I hate 12 minutes of commercials whether in B&W OR color, and the programming is lame and insulting.
