Free TV Remember that??

[wanderingbear]

Now its all this High Priced Cable and Satilite B.S. Charge you an arm and a leg and still give you garbage to watch and Bad service for way to much.. I want my free TV back..

1. With test patterns

Back before the 24 hours of 150 channels of Infomercials....Yeah, I'd love to have free TV back. I wonder every night why I pay to have crap I never watch

2. That's all I got!

Last time I had cable was 1995!

I barely turn it on too. I think 9/11 was the longest period of time I've had it on a channel since 1997.

3. Free TV? But that's SOCIALISM!

Thank God that our Wise and Courageous Commander, President George Bush, has the moral perspicacity and far-sightedness to undertake to eliminate its scourge from our shores, our schools, and our amber waves of grain!

4. Yeah and it's filled with infomercials

Remember when cable first came out, they pushed it as COMMERCIAL FREE?

6. Those were the good old days, never to return.

7. VHF and UHF

Sure, I remember free tv. 3 channels...ABC, NBC, CBS. And NET (the precusor to PBS)

We had a cool console tv that swiveled. A Motorola, I believe.

8. NET - National Educational Television

Oh wow... yes, I recall that too. Our TV was on a rolling golden-aluminum TV stand that had a built-in magazine rack just below the TV shelf.

It took a few moments to warm-up... and when you turned it off, the picture would shrink into a little white dot in the center (just like the HBO Original Series logo/animation)
