That's something special to me, because, as crazy as it might appear, those stories were one of the things that inspired me to start collecting vintage televisions. I always thought that those 1950's style TV sets in Donald Duck's house were so cool looking that I wanted to find the real life counterparts of those TVs. And that was when I was 8, 9, 10 years old... damn, I was a weird kid!!!

I guess I was too, I always liked them too as a kid. Remember the Tex Avery cartoon about "Television of Tomorrow" and it showed all kinds of sets modeled after some of the real ones? It also showed very humorous exaggerations as Tex always did in his cartoons. I also loved the one he did about cars too. I would love to have those on DVD, I haven't seen them in years.
