Things we just did not spend money on growing up

I was about 9 years old when we got our first TV..used...one of the big boxes, black and white, of course, with the tiny screen. With the right combination of coat hangers and tin foil hung off the rabbit ears, it would pull in 3 channels, two from Baltimore and one from Washington DC (farm was in Howard County). We were allowed to watch it for one hour a day, except for weekend evenings where Lawrence Welk, Walt Disney and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom stretched the time out a bit farther.

Used to watch those with the Grandparents.

That's what my wife said. I think she was being mean.
