All great TV memories. Pre internet cellphone and wokeness. Glad I got to experience the days of B&W TVs and 3 channels via rabbit ears. Yep, much simpler times. yeah I always tell people that back in the 1950's and 60's I was my Dad's remote for the TV. I would be on the couch and he would say "Son, go change the station" 
You can't fix stupid

I would be on the couch and he would say "Son, go change the station" Change the station was simple, that was change it to the other station we could get. One was nice and clear picture the other was snowy but still watchable with an outdoor antenna, when boosters came along it got rid of the snow but no additional programming. A lot of the shows mentioned we never saw. Great times overall to grow up.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

No, but foil on the rabbit ears, and constantly fiddling with the horizontal and vertical stabilizers. The little GE took a while for the tubes to warm up, too.

I was sent out in all types of weather to turn the antenna. I can still hear "back", "good" "no, keep going, stop, the other way, no, no, no, that's good, #!%*"
