Have You Witnessed A Major Historical Or Current Event?

Wow. Something I just remembered an historical experience that is taken for granted these days: colour television.

I remember as a kid watching on an old b&w TV...I kinda remember having 2 TV's after we got a color one (but have no memory of what happened to the b&w unit)

Oh and I also remember when electronic devices would die, my dad would take the vacuum tubes from it down to Radio Shack & test them .. I always liked to go along for that because I got to see them light up

I remember watching Jack Lalanne (mid 60's) when we spent summers with the grandparents. Yeah, that tv had tubes.

I even remember the first television programme that I saw in colour: Bewitched.
