Didn’t get much better than this, unless your folks had a console…
When I was young, my grandparents went from a 19" B&W TV to a big honkin' Zenith console set, in colour, with a cherry cabinet, and then they got CATV (new tech then), which got 4 local stations plus TBS, WGN, and WOR. I watched Midnight Special on that rig a lot.
@XaoslordErie @northernbassist I did get to see the Beetles on Ed Sullivan on a big console.

"Beatles". It's a pun. "Beat," as in rhythm.
