I am glad he doesn't have my address!
If I were to judge him by his words I'd say he may even be the mafia type!(lol)

For starters: Who do you know who named Carmine who loves spaghetti who is not Italian? Is there something wrong with being Italian? I love Italians as well as all people who try to do the right thing by others.
Your writings strongly suggest you have alot of money and plenty of free time. Is there something wrong with that? I don't think so. Sounds like you are extremely fortunate to say the least. It would not surprise me at all if you deserve all you have.

Brazil is one of those countries that is more or less devoid of any real middle class. You are either very rich where you can become educated and do all you desire or you are more or less dirt poor and lucky to have a servants job.
Is the Oprah show a suitable reference to support that? I think so.
Do Italians not drive Imperials and New Yorkers? I certainly would. I love Chryslers too!

Are you going to tell us that Cadillac in your avatar is not yours? Maybe it is your daddy's car? It is very sharp. Does it also have the sunroof?

I am always amazed by those who want others to think they have little money. I am sure I have come across that way in other posts I have written. Most who claim to be budgeted usually have enough money to do anything they want. Is it possible that the fact our country has at least 6.5 million millionaires something that helps support my observations?

I would not be one bit surprised if Carmine is a millionaire and again, I say, I would not be surprised if he deserves all of his great fortune.

I do not make "dumb stereotypes". I speak about what I gather from a multitude of other sources to get feedback to help me become a better person for myself and others as well. Is there something wrong with that?

I have faith in my heart and mind that I will become educated welll enough to always do the right thing by others and thereby become able to have all I need and maybe some of what I want.

Well Bobby, lets just all make nice and get back to the tv's.

Very good advice!

Well, I am sorry to disappoint you, but I really didn't get evidence to support the idea that more of those 300 sets have survived. I really don't have much of a clue to the behavior of people about preserving old stuff, but it seemed, for example, that many 50's and 60's black and white TVs survived in the city of São Paulo, and almost none in the city of Rio de Janeiro...I don't know why, but I have this theory that the people of the city of São Paulo tend to be more conservative than that of Rio, because São Paulo is rainy, cold, above sea level, while Rio is hot and have beaches...here in Brazil people joke and say that the people of São Paulo "carry the country in their backs" ( are very hardworking people ), while the people of Rio stay on the beach all day long, don't work at all, just play soccer, music and look for beautiful women. It's all stereotype, of course, but it gives some perspective on the character of the people's of the two citys. I can't post a picture of the round color TV my friend has, because he lives very far from me, and I only seen his TV once; the other guy I don't know him, I just saw his collection of movie related stuff and early TV years ago in a TV programm.

I did a little researching on the Net about those 1963 color experiences, and I could only find three photos. One is very tiny, is an ad for RCA Victor color TVs; the other is an ad promoting the color broadcasting of "Bonanza"; and the last one shows a lady that is in brazilian TV since day one in 1950, in fact she still apears in soap operas today, and in the picture she is posing with one early color TV camera - I never seen this model of color TV camera in the many sites devoted to the subject, anyone is familiar with that one?

[Bobby Brady]

I appreciate the info!
I heard Bonanza was broadcast in color since '59.
It is very cool to think of the pretty lady still doing her thing to this day.

That is a great shot of the camera.

Can somebody identify that camera and the year it came from?

Thanks!
