As long as we’re playing the grumpy old [udate: middle aged] people game--when did you get color TV?

1969--it even had a mechanical remote control that worked by sound. The remote "pinged" and the channel knob kathunked through all 12 channels.

Update: not that we had 12 stations, we had 5--the big 3, PBS and a local indie.

Re: ManU

Just in case LJ picks up BBC America, he can join the dozens of fans of Footballer's Wives.

Kind of a Dallas meets Dynasty meets Desperate Housewives on crack.

Embarrassing Update: I've watched too many of the episodes. The women are exceedingly, er, uh, hot. Our friend Cin watches, too.
