Forrest Gump TV's
The TV in the bar at New Years Eve in Forrest Gump is an RCA CTC-36, which would have existed in 1972. There is also an RCA CTC-25 (or very similar) displaying the moon landing while Forrest is playing ping-pong. However the two sets that are incorrect in my opinion are a transistorized late 70's/early 80's panasonic color TV in Lieutenant Dan's apartment and a late 1970's RCA solid state set, that is shown in the apartment where Jenny walks out on the ledge. The TV that is displaying the AFVN in Vietnam also appears to be a late 1970's Panasonic b/w.
Also--I don't think the Wonder Years TV in the kitchen is a Zenith. The cabinet is too bulky and blocky. Zenith B/w TV's had rather sleek cabinets and a picture tube with rounded corners. To me, it appears to be an early 80's foreign-made color TV. (haven't seen that show, though, for years).
