I remember the first time I ever saw a television set. We were in town on a Saturday night, and there was a tv in the window of one of the stores. I think it was Bill Wall's pool hall. There was a bullfight showing, and it was so snowy that you could barely make out what the picture was. I remember how excited I was!
The first tv that I know of in our neighborhood was at Herman White's house. We used to go visit Karen, who was about the same age we were, and watch "The Little Rascals". We also got to watch tv when we went to visit my aunt, Ethel Rath. She always loved new gadgets, and was one of the first people I knew who had a tv set. When remote controls came out, she was one of the first to have that, too.
We didn't have a tv at our house until I was a teenager. Mamma and Daddy weren't very impressed with it, because we wanted to watch when we were supposed to be doing our chores.
