    I grew up in the 60's. We were lucky and got a nice Zenith color TV in 67. We went out on bought it on s Saturday morning and when we got it home a golf tournament was on and the green greens looked amazing. This was the dawning of a new day - a lot like the first HD TV you got was in the 2000's. We were too cheap to buy a remote control though (this was WAY before cable, which game by default with a remote to surf all those new channels), so I lay on the floor a few feet from the TV and used my big toe to push the channel button.

      We were barely middle-class. 1600 sq ft house. I don't recall if my friends had color but I kind of think 67 would have been about the time color TV was becoming mainstream, similar to the HD era when you could buy one for about 1 k. Anyway, we were very far from rich. My Mom was a secretary and my dad sold TV time for a local TV station. @MonsieurPogo

    What a GREAT VIDEO ! I love the faux "EDWARD R. MURROW" Announcer for "SPOT" TELEVISION ! This is when TV'S were furniture. My parents bought their first TV when I was 4 years old in 1949. It was a Motorola with a 16-inch screen. I grew up in Northern California in the 50s and we only had maybe 3 or 4 channels by 1951 and not 24 hours a day. Amazing how far TV has come. Who would have thought that when I was 4 years old watching "Howdy Doody", that a Giagantic flatscreen tv you could hang on a wall was waiting for me in the future !

    I was born in 1954 in a Chicago suburb, but we didn't have a TV until 1958. In actual fact there were TV broadcasts in the late 1920's but the Great Depression and WWII delayed TV being available to the general public until after WWII.

      I know the "TV repairman" was a profession in demand. Most TV's needed repair within a year or two of purchase and would need multiple services to stay in operation for any length of time. I remember taking the tubes down to the drugstore and plugging them into the tube tester and buying 2 or 3 new tubes taking them all home and plugging them back in and get the thing running again.

    Young People - feel for the over 60s for once
    Americans are probably more used to erecting a 2nd antenna or ariel to gain more channels. in Britain tv choice was beyond backward because we had just 3 channels until 1982. there was 4 if you were middle class & could fork out 10 weeks wages for a VCR in 1980 & Cable was something reserved for Swindon & London from the mid 80s along with Satellite in German or Dutch from 1985. The only option otherwise was a Regional variation in the National iTV network. Only those in back of beyond locations where coverage overlaps occurred,had an option of buying high gain antenna & mounting the rig as high above the ground as possible then perhaps an early evening or late night choice of either Ironside /Canon /Mc Cloud / Rockford Files /Kojak ( detective shows from America ) say from the neighbouring region vs in my old folks region usually showing Murder She Wrote & the different region news programmes of 50 minutes at teatime repeated at 22:30. If the weather didn’t bore you to death TV in Britain before 1982 would. Punk was inevitable.
    It’s no wonder they had larger families back then.

      Well, there is a peanut butter brand called "Skippy" and I can see how people would commonly mix the two names together creating a third imaginary brand called Jiffy.
      There could also have been an off-brand or an in-store brand that tried to copy Jiff labeling, creating a false memory about a product that no longer exists and only a few people vaguely recall.
      Ed McMahan was the TV spokesman for American Family Publishers, a competitor of Publishers Clearing House.
