We had 3 or 4 channels. Believe it or not, there were times when there were two things on we wanted to watch so I had to sit in front of the TV and turn the station knob back and forth.

Wizard of Oz was a family event every year.

Saturday mornings were ruled by Sid & Marty Kroft.

We actually looked forward to Labor Weekend for the Telethon.

In our area (Bri will get this if she has always lived in this area) you didn't miss Clubhouse 22 after school, with Duffy the Dog, Stan the Man, and the amazing "Pick-a-Box" which was later upgraded to Pick-a-Door. I won a Nerf Frisbee as a 'booby' prize one time.

I first heard of HBO when my friend in JrHi returned from FL and told me about it. I thought she was full of crap. Yeah, right!

It's like one of my earlier threads...I LOVE technology and choices and all that comes with those things, but we've lost something. What? I don't know. A certain innocence?
