There is something about watching old shows on a old set. When I first got mine I watched 1969 episodes of Love American Style on it and some old Color network logos like the 60's NBC Peacock, CBS in Color, ABC.

Having a old console also brings back childhood memories. I was born in 78 and we had a RCA console in the livingroom while growing up. I use to watch Bewitched, Gilligans Island, I Dream of Jeannie, N@N etc.....WGN has been showing Bewitched and Jeannie and it's like I'm 6 again.

I think the TV is a treasure, but most people ignore it. They probably just think it's a old out of date set that I probably dug out of the trash or was given to me. Same way with my old 64 Magnavox console stereo.

WGN America also has its "Outta Sight Retro Nite" on Sunday evenings, during which the station shows reruns of The Honeymooners (DuMont, 1955-56), Newhart (CBS, early '80s), and WKRP in Cincinnati (CBS, late '70s-early-mid '80s).
