Ode to Black and White TV
You could hardly see for all the snow
So you'd spread the rabbit ears as far as they'd go
Pull up a chair to the TV set
"Good night, David; Good night, Chet."
Depending on the the channel you tuned
You got Rob and Laura or Ward and June
It was oh so good and felt so right
Life looked better in black and white
Cable was something you used on your car
when the battery was dead, or you didn't get far
Nobody'd heard of remote control
To change the channel you went for a stroll
Not many channels but always something to see
until midnight came and no more TV
Just a test pattern that shrunk to a dot
Until 7 am that's all that you got
I Love Lucy, The Real McCoys
Dennis the Menace, the Cleaver boys
Rawhide, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train
Superman, Jimmy and Lois Lane
Patty Duke, Father Knows Best
Our Miss Brooks and all the rest

Reply:your probably right there in those days life was more respectful, and much less stressful kids could actually play outside for hours and the parents didn't have to worry, i prefer colour TV tho all those good films you've seen over the years do u think u would of enjoyed them the same if they were in black and white probably not!
Reply:like it. i remember my dad getting one of the first ever colour TVs. we went to visit my nan and my little sister asked where the colour was on her set. nan said she washed it and the colour came out. sis believed it for years
