The first TV I remember was my parents GE color console, KE chassis, just a little older than me (I'm a '72 model!) Earliest TV watching memories: my mother trying to tune in the PBS affiliate so I could watch Sesame Street or maybe Mister Rogers; it was snowy but she managed it. I remember a news anchor on WBAL who looked a little like my pediatrician. For some reason the newsman scared me (though my doctor didn't). And for some reason I have very clear memories of a scene from the show "Holmes & Yoyo" where they use Yoyo to jump-start an elevator. I would have been about 5 years old.

I loved sitting on the floor in front of the GE, my toes against the base of the cabinet. During commercials I would often turn the volume down & press my ear against the side of the cabinet to listen to the warm hum from within. Sometimes I'd get a peak in the holes in the back & see that neat glow. Yep, a weird kid...I haven't changed much!
