We got our first black and white TV in the late 1950's. It was touted as a portable...however, if it hadn't been on a black metal stand with wheels, none of us except my Dad could move it. It had Rabbit Ears....remember those? Everyone thought reception was less snowy if you had the Rabbit Ears dressed up in Aluminum Foil.
I don't know if the foil made much difference. It didn't matter all that much cause I Loved Lucy and would watch that show through a Snow Blizzard on that old black and white. I didn't know Lucy was a Red Head until I saw a picture of her in a magazine.
I was really reminded of the Good Ole Days of Black and White TV and the I Love Lucy Show last week while out Junkin'! I came across this display of 'Collector Metal Signs'. Believe it or not, I don't Collect Signs or Celebrity Memorabilia, but I thought a post about Lucy would work in for Valentines! Just look at Ricky giving her a Sweetheart Kiss! And I NEVER EVER will forget or tire of watching the Chocolate episode....
Thanks Lucy!
