the first TV that your family owned...

Color. I'm only 30....

Ours was a big console thing in the 50s. Tiny tv screen, a radio & a record player w/a gadget to play 78s or 33s. B/W of course. 3 channels. Used to watch the Lone Ranger & Sky King on Sat. mornings, anybody remember Sky King? A friend down the street got one of the first color tvs, what a monster! We all headed over there to see the one or 2 programs broadcast in color -- but it wasn't worth it because her father sat in front of the set, continually fiddling w/the color adjustment dials. You couldn't see anything; he was always in the way & people's faces went from white to red to brown as he played obsessively. What a hoot.
