But only watched Little House on the Prarie on Monday nights and Grizzly Adams on Wednesday nights. Oh church TV on Sunday when we couldn't make it to church. We had an attenta that was turned by reaching out the window with a crescent wrench and turning it to get a good signal.

All of those shows were great after school. We watched TV at night after dinner but you're right. In the summer we played outside and spent time doing things. Only if it rained did you watch tv.
