Same here, my first personal tv was black and white.
And hell you didnt adjust the colour on the family tv.... you could never get the colour back the same again!
That fancy 3 button remote we had to our color tv never turned the tv off right.. you had to press the button on the tv and then the remote, or some crazy sequence I could never remember. I used to get in trouble for messing with the buttons on the tv and remote, cause I wasn't supposed to be watching it without them present..
You had a remote.......ohhhhlala... we had a push pull not which doubled as the tvs volume. To change a channel you had to go up to the tv and press the channel button. Think of the exercise.... LOL.
It was on/off/ volume.. the on off did not work...
we got color tv way after everyone else in the neighborhood did..

I grew up in the country side. I was never indoors much and was encouraged to go outside and "play".
As such, many of my memories are of me riding my bike, going on "safari", having adventures with my cat, digging in the ground for treasure, playing "jungle" in the woods, etc.2 -

I remember blown up furniture that I convinced myself I needed and that it was super comfy though they weren't
I remember butterfly clips I used to wear in my hair.. The black tark pants every girl in Iceland had to own and finally, the Disel jeans we matched with our super cool Buffalo shoes.
I remember making freestyle dances to almost all of the songs The Spice Girls released and putting on a show in my school.
I remember writing silly notes to my friends in class and passing them on.. And all the games we made up cause we were bored..
Oh I need to ring some of my old friends right now and get drunk with them.. Now I'm feeling Nostalgic lol
Do you mean cassette tape??? I remember sticking the pencil in the cassette wheels to wind the tape back on trying not to crinckle it... because the tape player chewed it up...lol
Hehe no actually I so mean CD's the cassettes were dying when I was a kid.. They were around when I was about 4 but after that it was just CDs1 -

I didn't stay indoors much, bike riding with my friends and playing sports was my favourite hobby.0 -

true story:
my dad bought our first garage door opener
the same week our neighbor bought a new television with a new-fangled ree-mote conn-trol.
every time our neighbor changed channels, our garage door opened or closed.3 -
I do rememeber when we got out first color television and of course we kept the one black and white tv. It went into my brothers room cause he was older and we had to watch tv together, cause we hated what mom and dad watched..
We fought like cats and dogs over the 3 channels we had to watch.. so stupid now..
Three TV channels? What about books? Does anybody remember actually reading? I spent a large portion of my time reading books, magazines, comics, and anything else with words on a page.
I was not big into reading..
I was always outdoors!! this tv I speak of was right after school , some after dinner.. etc..0 -

PMSL..... You made me think about my first remote control car. when you took it to the park to drive it with the other kids in the area you had to watch out when near other cars because some had the same frequency... and your car would just go off crazy!

Oh snap, I remember having a remote control car. My friends use to bring their cars out too but due to being the same frequency the cars use to lose control lol1 -
Going to the arcades was my favourite thing to do. Sadly we no longer have any arcades here.0

Funny how things come back around..... I remember my first sony Walkman....tape player...lol. It had big earphones there was no earbuds back then... now it is fashionable to have big earphones with your smartphone!
