"I know...you had a sad life"

I was reminding my grandson that I grew up with black and white TV and he said "I know, you had a sad life".  He was joking but I replied "no...it was a great life".  Movies were just as scary...just as funny.

Not only black and white, but 4 channels counting Public Television.  And most channels went off the air at midnight...maybe 1am.

We had no VCRs let alone DVRs.  We didn't have movies to rent.  Movies for us were on Floppy or Saturday or Sunday nights and usually watched as a family.

Floppy showed a movie from 12:30pm to 2pm and again from 4pm to 5:30pm.  I was exposed to a lot of movies growing up.  They would have theme weeks like beach movie week.
