Remembering Thanksgiving TV in the New Jersey New York area 1970's

Lunkenstein, I remember trying to do this too,  to watch different shows,  it's actually hard to imagine that we just had to put up with this back in the day because we had to do this, those of us who actually had a rotating antenna, and actually getting up and turning the channel changer by hand!!!

Yes.  Children were the remote control.  Tin foil to enhance the antenna apparatus was an art form. Vertical controls.  Horizontal controls.  Tint.  Marvelous.
