Do you remember the first color TV on your block? If so, you’re not a youngster anymore! I recall my friend’s parents buying a color TV when we lived in Spring Valley, California. Naturally, I went over to witness the magic and was absolutely mesmerized. Not long after, we got our own color TV at home. Those early color TVs had roundish screens. I remember a commercial featuring a cartoon man singing, “Wow! I got color TV, RCA Victor color TV.” RCA no longer manufactures TVs, and I don’t think they’re still in business. If you come across a new product branded with RCA, it’s because someone else bought their trademark. Hmmm… that took an unexpected turn.

“Why does a pair of sunglasses cost more than a 25-inch color television?” - Ron White

@[email protected] I was overseas when my parents bought their first colour TV. Mum had sworn she would never get one. Her letter said, “It’s like being at the cinema!”

It did seem like something special back then. 😃
@[email protected] Yes, because it WAS something special. In my childhood, colour photos were special too. Now? Colour is normal, black and white is arty. 🙂
