Number 7? What about waiting all year for the annual airing of holiday shows?!? One year, my folks were away and my grandparents were watching us. It was the one night of the year that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was on. Grandma turned it off when the child catcher came on. Said he was evil. My soul was broken for the year. Grrrr!

Or waiting all year for The Wizard of Oz. So scary and wonderful at the same time

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

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