About as well as a couple of those Winstons would.
Of course, the antlers are VHF. The smokes are only long enough for UHF

second hand smoke from a cartoon character is mind boggling.

Ok here is a thinker, what style crt is in that set??? and secondly. in the show every one has color sets, knowing this, How can you justify beleiving that RCA pioneered color television?????? when Fred had color back in the stone age???? Ok, I'll go away now.

Festoon the antlers with foil the way we used to do back in the '70s with rabbit ears and you're all set.

As for color TV back in those days all I can say is if my old friend Willard Gray could re-demonstrate the findings of experiments on archaeologists diggings up of a battery cell that considerably antedate Alessandro Volta's time, thus ripping the rug out from under the inventor/scientist's feet, then why can't someone try to similarly debase RCA...? :D

If they were wrapped with foil! My folks went food shopping on Friday nights when I was a pup. I used to go to the appliance store in the same plaza to watch the Flintstones in color on various models and brands. The RCA's are the most memorable as far as overall picture quality was concerned. Have a 4, a 5N, and a 7 early, but would like to have a 12. It would remind me of those shopping trips so long ago.

Yes, but how will you make the elk stand still and stay facing the transmitter?
