We had a B&W TV that I remember, so it was probably into the 70's. I remember watching Batman and they had the 'now in color' star burst and I didn't understand why it wasn't in color for me?? I also remember FINALLY getting a color tv, and being pretty surprised that the Munsters and Addams Family were still in B&W. I was a little slow on the science curve :wink:

I don't think I owned my own color tv until I was in my late 20's. I took a crappy little B&W to college and only got 2 channels and finally bought one from a friend who was moving back to Philly in about 1998. My nephews have 2 giant tvs in their 'playroom' to play video games on and they think they're archaic because they weigh about 200 lbs. They bug my sister to get them flat screens... (I cut this post off cause my boss walked up, I had to finish that sentence in this edit :wink: )

Also - I totally remembered the Love American Style theme song and sang right along, and the intro, with the fireworks, but can't for the life of me remember anything about the show. I'm sure I watched it, the theme and intro are embedded in my brain.
