I remember my dad would take forever to tune in the tv for a clear picture. Seems to always happen when a an ABC movie of the week was on. I feel old too. But those were the good old days

not being able to watch TV becasue you where bing used as part of the antenna as a kid?

This was a common thing at my grandparents house when there was a baseball game on, if there was bad reception I ended up being part of the antenna array...
