The first time I saw color TV was at a restaurant. It was a local Mexican food place that had a waiting area in the lobby. They bought a color TV and the show Flipper was on. I was amazed to see color TV. It was several more years before we got a color TV for home in 1966. It had a remote control and everything. The remote was a box with 4 tuning forks and a little hammer would strike the fork. We would come back home and often the TV had turned itself on because of some random noise in the house or on the street. You could jingle your keys and something random would happen to the TV. It would change the channel (there was just 3 channels) or turn it off most of the time with a key ring jingle.
Before that TV I was the remote. I hearr "Glen, change it to Chanel 5" or something like that since I was the youngest in the house.
Most of the time we were outside playing.
