TV Has Come A Long Way
Attention owners of primitive TVs: If you still use an antenna to watch "American Idol," your picture will disappear at midnight on Feb. 17, 2009, unless you buy something called a digital converter box.

My guess is the majority of home owners have some type of satellite or cable in their home.....but I can remember several times, moving from apt. to apt. that I had to rely on broadcast TV because the cable company couldn't come until next week.

And then there was that time, when I couldn't find the remote, and get this.. I had to GET UP and WALK over to the t.v. to change the freakin' channel.. can you believe that !?? LOL I remember the damn knob falling off the t.v., and we had to use a pair of pliers to change the freakin' channel. I remember getting cable for the first time around '74 or '75. It opened up a world of Godzilla movies LOL |

LOL....I know right.
I too often laugh at what constitutes a "horror" in our daily lives. |

These days you can get a commercial-free HD copy of the show a few hours after it broadcasts or watch it live on the computer.

I will say looking back at the cartoons vs what my children had and even todays cartoons, nothing can beat what we had then. I remember Ninja turtles when my kids were small and hated it. Brutus and Popeye anyday!
