If you had a 25" TV you were a straight up OT baller...

But if you had this, you were really the king of the OT ballers...

I used to watch the Dukes of Hazard on Friday nights at 7pm on a console TV like that. After that we would watch Dallas and Falcon Crest. My Dad worked shift work and when he was home on Friday nights he made us watch Wall Street Week on PBS in the Dukes of Hazard slot. Said it was his TV. All we had were CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, and WGNO out of New Orleans. Had to turn the knob from VHF to UHF to watch PBS and WGNO.

We had a 25" as far back as I can remember which would be around 75-76. As for a remote controlled TV we got one around 80-81 or so. It had five buttons

Power
Channel up
Channel down
Volume up
Volume down

I remember it came from Sears & Roebuck just like everything else in our house from the clothes on my back to the lawnmower outside. Basically we shopped at two places, Sears and Win-Dixie. Everything you needed was at one of those two places.
