Red and Rover by Brian Basset for July 05, 2020

Televisions in the 60’s and 70’s did not have remotes! We had to get up and change the channel! My first remote had a long cable. The rabbit ears are correct. ;-)

When I was a kid I WAS the remote control…

It’s a drive-in without the drive!

Red won’t hear it but mom WILL

Where there’s a will…

I found out my remote also worked on my buddy’s TV. So we’d walk over and stand near their living room window while he and his wife were watching a movie of course we change it to the baseball game or something. Finally I guess we laughed too loud and they figured out what we were doing. Hilarity ensued.

Somehow that remote looks out of place, since its from the 60s to early 70s.

Somehow – you boys always come up with something clever…love and hugs…until MOM sees you

Boss move

LOL! The boob tube …..

Didn’t have remotes then

But in those days, Red would have been the remote.

Do yourself a favor Red, forget TV. It numbs the mind.

But I don’t think they had closed captioning back then.

I’m not sure if those old ultrasonic remotes could work through a window.

I remember the tags jingling from a friend’s dog would change the channel if it walked in front of the TV.

Mom’s right. Rest from TV is good for growing boys and dogs! Take care, little ones!

Red learned that trick from Calvin

At least they are outside. Sort of.
