LOL I remember the damn knob falling off the t.v., and we had to use a pair of pliers to change the freakin' channel.

I remember getting cable for the first time around '74 or '75. It opened up a world of Godzilla movies LOL

Man I remember having a TV w/ no remote! The one that had the knobs and fell off eventually My mother use to fuss that i would sit too close to the TV, but who wanted to walk across the living room to change the channel once one program was over with?

Does anyone remember Romper Room??????

No but I do remember Bozo the Clown. My wife remembers HR Puffinstuff (sp?) but that was a little after my time. My favorite cartoons back then were Speedbuggy and Fantastic Four plus all the WB stuff like Roadrunner.

I use to watch speedbuggy and all wb cartoons also. Speed racer was one of my favorites.

I will say looking back at the cartoons vs what my children had and even todays cartoons, nothing can beat what we had then. I remember Ninja turtles when my kids were small and hated it.

Brutus and Popeye anyday!
