On rainy days, their owners would move these antennas about or bend them, some even added metal coat hangers to them with a long wire for better reception.
Fewer channels, but these televisions and shows were not a part of our current surveillance culture.

I miss old tv's with the VHS built in.

Have not a few of those vhs/tv combos collecting dust.

Fortunate to have enough space to store them,
the local thift store still sells VHS tapes.

Not sure if they work.
