Cable TV was around in 1973???

[Ringel05]

I was watching a episode of Sanford and Son from the 1972-73 TV season and Fred was telling Lamont he wants Cable TV which shocked the hell out of me. I didn't even hear of cable until 1987 and always wondered what ESN stood for inside the TV Guide which was ESPN.

I didn't get cable until 1988

There is no way you could possibly remember 1887 or 88....... Heck you probably couldn't remember your name if you didn't have it on a patch on your shirt.......

Why the fuck you got to be so disrespectful?

Since when did you ever show you deserved any respect?

 

[Harry Dresden]

the first ones i remember were SelecTV and ONTV....had like 1or 2 movies a month.....

what year?

i am pretty sure that was the last half of the 70's....

 

[HenryBHough]

OK, who remembers wired remotes?

Or turret tuners and what happened when they got dirty?

Wait till he hears about all that free sex during the 60s and 70s. And part of the 80s. Lets see, if he's watching Sanford and son TODAY, will he be watching The golden girls by 2025?

 

[daws101]

OK, Dark, who was "Madman Muntz"?

The first time I heard that name in decades. I had a Muntz radio and I think he made TV's as well.

He didn't make them he paid to have his name on them.

You mean the free sex you had to pay for?

I can make an antenna out of a steel fence post.

So could everyone else.
A wire hanger and foil were the preferred method.

Crap! I forgot about those things.

1983 in Nassau County...CableVision used the Rolling Stones Undercover of the Night to kick off MTV.

 

[Care4all]

when my parents got it in 1975, there was 8-10 channels on cable which beat the heck out of the 3 we got through the antenna.
