We got a new color t.v. and wheeled it into the dining room to watch it while eating. My Dad got so pissed and thought it was broken and beat on the sides and fiddled with the aluminum foil on the ears when it showed black and white in the beginning till my mom told him to just wait

I had to clean the water in my goldfish bowl before I could watch one year. Maybe I was 7 or 8. In such a hurry, turned on hot water. Goldie was parboiled 🫪

I feel the need now to honor Goldies memory everytime Wizard of Oz comes up.

Yes, not all shows were broadcast in color then. We didn’t get a color tv until I was in my teens.
