You bet cha, 1 television black/white - 4 channels, 2 of which signed off at night, and privileges with could be denied for not minding. Friday night, 1 TV
station stayed on late with scary movies.

One phone with the number drilled in to your memory so effectively that I still
remember it. Had a party line where 2 families shared the line. You couldn't
make a call if they were in the line, you didn't tie up the line with long calls, and you relinquished the line for emergencies.
