Throwback T.V. Thursday

It's Throwback T.V. Thursday.

I'm about to seem very old, so be warned.

My parents were pretty strict about what we were allowed to watch, but they didn't know that my brothers watched

The Dukes of Hazzard when they weren't home.

And Masters of the Universe

We used to watch The Muppet Show on Sunday evenings after the Wonderful World of Disney.

I liked Pigs in Space and my favourite muppet was Scooter. My brother Arden loved Rolf the dog who played the piano. We called my sister Miss Piggy which was mean, but at the time, hilarious. Plus I'm a way bigger actual food pig than she is.

We also watched Little House on the Prarie, which I think was on just before supper.

I had the box set of the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder as well and I loved them a lot. I had the blue box set. They also made it in yellow and I used to have this weird Inception-like thing going on where if I wasn't sure if I was dreaming, I would go and see what colour my Little House books were. If they were Yellow, I knew I was dreaming. Weirdo alert.

I remember the first TV we had that had a "remote control" which was on a long cord.

Who remembers this? City TV on channel 56.

2 - TVO

3 - GLOBAL

4 - Detroit NBC

5 - French Channel

6 - CBC

7 - ABC Detroit

... that's all I remember. How could I forget?

Get ready for this. Are you sitting down? The T.V. that I took to University for my room in residence was -

BLACK

AND

WHITE

What's more fun than TV? More TV. 😇
