Anyone remerber A plastic wrap that you could attach to
your TV screen for color..or was it my imagination.
Nope, not your imagination. It was a polarised plastic sheet that gave the illusion of colours on your B&W TV. It was a scam.

How many of those women claimed "Oh! I never thought it would be me!" Then why were you on the show??? Sheesh. Even a kid can see through that. And all those Jacuzzi's!
How about The Life of Riley, or The William Bendix Show? Arthur Godfrey?

Hey AnneB,
when I was growin' up we had a neighbor whose husband
wouldn't hold a job and my mom would always say he was "living the Life of Riley"
Don't cry Gayle, you ain't ain't gettin' there alone, I'm takin' that
stuff called Move Free for my achin' knees, just think, back in the day
I could tear a dance floor up. If I did the " Break Down " now I couldn't
get up
I can remember the very first show I saw in color It was Star Trek we had
another neighbor and she was the only one who had a color TV I was simply amazed

Nickolas I saw a program on the future of TVS. They are working on one that you just paint on a wall. You hook up a wire to it that goes into a converter box. Also TVS that interact with you by your presents they will know what program you like to watch. Yes wasblind I remember. My parents got their first color TV in 1965 it was a zenith. It took two mins. for that thing to warm up before it came on. Only about half of the shows were in color at the time. The following year almost all were in color. I loved Star Trek back in the 60's but I always had to fight my mother over it. She claimed it was demonic. It was to cerebrial for her. LOL Totally ADD

OH man. I remeber Queen for a day, and all those Westerns. Something that was sort of Flash Gordon complete with rockets held by string. Route 66 (even the road doesn't exist anymore). McHale's Navy. Saturday morning cartoons that were more interesting in being funny THAN DELIVERING AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO KIDS. They also had some of the worst sponsors, I hate Ovaltine and everybody's favorite thing to do with Wonder Bread was to see who could squish into the smallest ball. I had plastic cap guns based on some of those shows.
Those were the days.
