We only got 2 and 9, sometimes 33 if the weather was right. Doesn't seem like we ever complained that "there's nothing on" like we seem to so often today with hundreds of channels. Go ahead, name those Sweathogs without googling. I did it pretty easily and haven't seen an episode of the show in years.

We got 2-13.
It was basically, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, Local Access, Univision and I think USA.
You waited all week for this:
One year they showed Star Wars and everyone shite their pants and recorded it on their VCR if they had one.
Those were the days.

I still remember as a kid getting only 8 (cbs), 10 (nbc), 3 (abc), 13 (pbs), and 9 (some local station). I also remember during the summer watching tv late until all channels played the national anthem then went black after midnight.

Off the top of my head: Vinnie Barbarino; Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington; Mr. Kot-eer; Horshak; and Epstein. I think the chick at the bottom right is Kotter's wife.

Me. Kotter’s wife (in the pic below the Sweathogs) was hot to a young Booey. I just looked her up online and she died of breast cancer in 2014. Sad.

I remember we got the 3 Memphis stations plus their PBS. Then if the Razorbacks were on a Little Rock station Dad would turn the antenna.
We got Greenville, MS's ABC affiliate about 1978 and I thought that was exotic as Hell.
