I have attached three images from "The Twonky," for all you trivia fans.

Also, in "That Thing You Do," one of the characters' family owns an appliance store. When their first song is on the radio, the kids run around the store and turn on all the radios. I'll bet there are some old TVs to be seen, too. The fourth photo shows part of the appliance showroom; no TVs, but I happen to own one of those RCA chairs.
