Good morning, friends. 🌺🌺🌺
19 December 2024
Once upon a time in the olden days I had a portable television that I purchased used because I could not afford a new one. This television had a 14-inch screen and rabbit ears on top of the set. Now I realize that people born in the 21st Century may not know what rabbit ears are, so I will attempt a description: rabbit ears were a sort of indoor antenna made two extendable rods that looked rather like the feelers on an insect - bet that cleared it up. While the TV worked okay it had one minor defect, there was no knob to turn the channel; so, I improvised with pliers. Okay, I should explain what a knob was on a TV, but I’m out of characters.

@[email protected] I was born in the year 2000, the last year of the 20th century (there’s no year 0 so the new century/millennium actually started in 2001) but I do have so appreciation for TV from the 50s to the 80s. TV had more charm back then, more life, more style, more vibrancy. It started to dry up through the 90s, and by the 2010s it was completely gone, replaced by the dull, boring, generic slop we have today. I’ve always said we should go back to Rediffusion (I’m not sure what the US equivalent was).

I had to look up Rediffusion, it sounds a bit like Cable TV.
