My cousin and I had a Bonanza fan club that was my favorite show.

For nighttime shows we only had three networks so we watched whatever the popular shows of the day were. There was NOBODY I knew no matter how rich the family was that had a tv in the kids' rooms so you watched what your parents watched.
Your tv recollection is interesting...no remotes, a round dial you had to turn, 3 channels......... barely a generation later and not only do the kids have their own tv, most have their own puters and all have cell phones. Shoot, most 16 year olds are on their second or third cell phones.

I saved and saved for a record player with two speakers that I bought myself. Now the mp3 players, etc are like cracker jacks toys, the kids use 'em, toss 'em aside and get something different all the time.
