      Please stop doing this to us

      (When we were little, we had a Jiffy-Pop™ handle for an antenna on our tiny black and white set so we could pick up one channel, the local ABC affiliate)

        Lol, growing up, my brothers would have to spin an array right outside the living room to get the signal right for Saturday morning cartoons. We’ve come a long way.

          One sacrificial kid sometimes gets stuck there, holding the antenna in place. One of the many reasons we needed bigger families in the days of yore.

        I’m 40 in a few months and have 100+ channels with an antenna on my roof. Because UK.
