WF2022 will include a hornet strategically placed inside a certain fold of skin that will then be zip-tied closed after the victim passes out from drinking everything in the house. Then both clay and I will put on our oxygen masks and sleep contently till morning when we wait for said victim to awaken to swelling that won't allow clothing to be worn from the waist down for 3 weeks :huggy:
 
Had the big console TV at moms. It wwas a hand me down from rich aunt because the vertical hold went out.
Watching tv it would start scrolling and we'd bang on top of the console or open and slam the little picture adjust door and it would stop.

We never had cable. Id never seen cable TV until I moved into my college dorm other than one friend who had a dish (big old style dish) but only 1 TV and we could only watch it when his parents were at work. (no kids inside while parents watching tv no tv in house o when parents asleep)

FIFM.
We lived in a weird area though.
Charlotte had 3,9,18 and 36
Greenville Spartanburg had 4,7,13,21

Depending on the day and weather patterns and whatever else some days we'd get one market some others.
My kids are still amazed that I can even remember what number was Cbs/NBC/ABC etc much less twop markets worth of them...but when you had to turn that back dial just right to avoid the belt or flying bottle...man you didnt forget.
 
Only had rabbit ears with tin foil and only 1 channel which was local ABC 13 out of Asheville until I went in the Navy. Most days even that channel was a little snowy unless someone was touching the rabbit ears so whoever was in trouble got to stand next to the tv and hold the rabbit ears so everyone else could enjoy the show.
 
My dad had the rotator and the antenna was a good 10’ higher than the roof peak.

Then we got the 8’ satellite dish back when it didn’t cost anything for the service.

3 CBS
9 ABC
18 Fox
36 NBC
46 WJZY (not sure if they were part of a larger network back then)

Also got 17 and 42 (one of those was PBS maybe) but they were usually pretty fuzzy

When 55 came along, it was kinda big deal.
