That's all we had until color TV's came out. We got our first color set when I was about 10-12 years old. Don't have one now though.
I think I was 12 or 13 before we could afford a color TV.
I grew up watching shows on a black and white tv and ditched those things completely back in 1978.
I think we had black n white up to late 60s i remember always playing with the antenna using foil or coat hangers lolol
We did 📺. When the knob broke we used a fork to turn the channels and aluminum foil on the rabbit ear antenna LOL.
I had one of the first color TV's when they first came out---about all you could watch in color was Johnny Carson, but the NBC peacock was quite a sight.
Kept my small Sears portable black and white until I no longer needed a TV in my garage when I was puttering around during the football games---finally threw it away about 15 years ago.
And to prevent the spread of error, black is the absence of color
We got one when I was a kid back in '56 - big old RCA. When wife and I were married back 67, my in-laws gave us an old Emerson Portable which we used for years. Every once in a while, therwe would be some sort of arc and a flash from tghe back and it would go dead. After a minute or so, it woulsd "re-boot" and be fine for days.
Yes, we had a black and white TV. Haven't had one for many years now. And I agree about The Wizard Of Oz being black and white and then turning into color. That was pretty amazing.
Yes, we did. It never bothered me that it was in black and white. I haven't seen one since I was younger. When t.v.went to digital it made all the tv's obsolete.
