As far as CBS goes it may have been OK for a few years but
NTSC color was better & served us well for over 60 yrs........

Unfortunately that's how most adults settle their differences, all the while telling their kids to play nice and share. I guess that's where the phrase "Do as I say, not as I do" came from.

I doubt I'll ever own another RCA set except if I intend to mine it for parts. Not only is it a lack of interest on my part, to me they're a reminder of Sarnoff's extreme greed.
