The first TV I remember us having was a 13 inch black and white RCA. Dad was frugal but he splurged on technology. We were the first on our street to have a color TV and it could get UHF without a converter. We could get channel 50 which showed the cool shows like The Three Stooges and The Little Rascals, PBS (channel 56) and channel 62 which ran a lot of old RKO B-Movies and lesser reruns. Then he got his pride and joy, the rotating antenna for the roof. I got being frugal from Dad but I guess I got his tech gene as well because I spoiled myself with loaded cable packages in the 80s and 90s and I was out in front when flat screens came out. Funny thing about Dad, he bought a flat screen but I couldn't get him to upgrade to HD. That frugality gene was still dominating. When I think of TV I always think of the day Dad put that rotating antenna on the roof. He was quite proud. RIP Pops. .
