Yep, I was the remote AND the rabbit ears adjuster.

I bossed my little sister around and made her be the remote.

Well, at least we only had 4 channels to deal with.

How well I remember, LOL

I was stronger than my sister. She did not have the strength to turn the massive channel dial. It clunked when it was turned. So it was as if I held the remote in todays world.

When I was a kid, you never lost the telephone............it was always in the same place.

Caller ID meant - ring twice then hang up.

And you better go slowly through the channels so as not to break the channel changer.

Us too, but we only got to watch TV on Sunday Walt Disney

Back when TVs were just starting to have optional remotes, I actually said to some friends "I can never see myself needing to buy a TV that has a remote" :ohdear:

I am not sure it is the most naive thing I have ever said, but it ranks up there...
