One way TV sets are more interesting is the fact that while so many radios had the same layout, coverage, and performance, for decades, TV was always evolving. I don't think that there was ever an "All-American Twelve" TV where so many sets were alike.
That being said, there's one branch of radios that I spend a lot of time with: Vacuum tube portables. I was unaware of their existence until I was about 20, and I was impressed with the tonality of many of them, along with the fact that they are less likely to have RF overload issues than many transistor radios I've used.
Being portable, I can carry them to where there is not too much RF noise and I can enjoy listening to the radio.
A Zenith H500 playing Brazilian country music makes for an interesting conversation piece on the beach.
