Zenith TV on "The Wonder Years"?
Carmine, I just read your post and just had to put my own two cents in. First, I didn't realize the kitchen TV in "The Wonder Years" was a 1977-ish Zenith b/w set. I watched the show all through its run on ABC in the '80s (I have the shows on tape as well) and could have sworn that set was one of those off-brand Japanese-made units with names no one ever heard of, like Orion, Kenco (actually made by Broadmoor and marketed by the now-defunct Kennedy and Cohen discount chain), etc. Guess I'll just have to go back to my tapes and look again. Maybe that set was a Zenith after all.
I like Zenith equipment of all kinds too. In the '70s my basement was full of Zenith TVs, radios, a couple Zenith stereo phonographs, countless Zenith radios . . . what can I say, I like Zenith every bit as you say you do. (Unfortunately, that collection went out with the trash when I moved in the early 1970s. The only Zenith gear I have now is a 1951 Zenith H511Y BC-only table radio, on top of the fridge in my apartment. Works, kinda, but I don't use it too much anymore because there isn't much worth listening to on AM these days.)
Kind regards,
Jeff
