And every house had a pair of pliers on the TV because the knobs broke and you couldn't get replacements so pliers worked just fine....

My grandfather was a Sylvania TV repairman when he wasn't painting bridges. We had all the replacement knobs we could want. I remember trying to get the UHF station in Stuebenville West Virginia because sometimes I could pick up the Cleveland Indians. Problem was the picture was usually all snowy and I had a hard time making out what was going on.

Sky King, Lassie, Twilight Zone, Combat, The Rifleman, Flipper, The Three Stooges, Home Run Derby (just to keep it on topic)....just off the top of my head.
