A little "trivia" question - - -

[Sumpter250]

The first TV I remember, had a "standard", round, CRT, for the picture screen, kind of the same greenish tint, and dim enough that we had to watch it in the basement, which was the only place big enough, and dark enough.

Yes. Captain Video and his Video Rangers............and the ever present villain, the evil, Doctor Pauli !

Then, of course, there was the Flash Gordon series with the ships dribbling sparks out the aft end!! , and "Ming the Merciless".
Yeah, the plastic overlay was " one of those things "
"Uncle Milty", Ed Sullivan , Mickey Mouse Club, Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autry, The Cisco Kid, Roy Rodgers, and a whole bunch more, including the "bonding time" with my Dad, watching the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field.
I gave up Baseball when the Dodgers left Broolkyn. Got back into it when I became a Cubs fan.
If Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts, moves the cubs out of Chicago / Wrigley Field, that will probably be the end of Baseball for me, for ever.
One must remember, "Ricketts" is a disease ! :o
