1. Having 3 channels on TV to choose from.

...and you were your parents remote control.

"Put that on Channel 9. It's time for Bonanza."



Not only did we have three channels, to get one of them you’d have to go outside and turn the antenna.

We were fancy. Had a remote control knob by the TV that did that. Either rotate it toward Memphis to pick up 3,5 or 13 or towards Tupelo to pick up 9.

Also, only had to dial the last digit of the phone prefix then the last 4 digits, instead of the whole thing. Instead of 534-1234, you'd dial 4-1234. Oh well.
