The Boob Tube. For some reason, people called television the boob tube. But I can’t imagine what my life would have been like if we didn’t have a TV. It was entertaining and educational. The cartoons on Saturday mornings were worth waiting a whole week to watch. But Sunday night TV was the best! The Ed Sullivan Show, Bonanza, and Perry Mason, who never lost a court case! There were movies that didn’t have nudity and profanity but they were still about gangsters and bad people. LOL. Nature programs like Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom and of course, Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color. I heart Tinker Bell and Jiminy Cricket! 🙂
Our first television was given to us. It was second hand and could only show a picture if it was dark. So we watched it in the dark. Only at night? Oh no! We went undercover! If it was daytime, we all got up under a heavy blanket and made it like a tent. We held the blanket up – one person on one side of the TV and another person on the other side of the TV and that blocked out the light, so we could watch our shows during the daytime or whenever there were lights on. Once again. My mom knew where her children were. LOL.
