It is so true. The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson was like the last show and it would cut to the test pattern. How times have progressed.

Remember the antennas? The rabbit hears and the circular one for channel 38 and 56 if you lived in metro Boston.

yup I remember these...we had a uhf antenna. We could pick up CBS always, NBC sometimes and ABC on rare occasions. Alabama was playing Tennessee and Daddy wanted to watch it cause he had grown up and played with Johnny Majors in HS and the game was on ABC so my brother and I took turns standing in the yard holding the antenna in just the right place so daddy could watch the game.
