Very funny. We never had shag carpet but we sure did have to walk 9 feet to change from one of the 3 channels we received with our roof antenna to another channel.

We didn't live close enough to the TV stations to be able to pick up programming with rabbit ears, we had to have an antenna on the roof. A year or so before we got our TV our local high school basketball team went to the state finals and that was the first year they televised the final game. Since we didn't have a TV my parents and some friends went to a local tavern to watch the game on TV. My parents talking about it years later said they remember everyone in the tavern watching this snowy, snowy screen and exclaiming, "it's like being there in person!" Mom said really it was like listening to it on the radio as they always had done, but instead of the usual speaker there was a piece of glass that had moving gray figures and the sound came out the sides.  |
