Truth!

That tv setup meant a good day every time.

except nobody holds up their cat/dog for everyone to see

still want it TBH

Great metaphor!

Oh yes, spilling the juice while running back to the tv and constantly bumping your knees or toes when jumping over the furniture... but thanks to the adrenaline: no pain felt!

I had the 16 colour version. It was a bitch to write with because it was so fat.

That cashier was just jealous that you got to experience Blockbuster and they didn't lol

🤣🤣🤣🤣kids please.....

I absolutely love these, and trust me I'm not that old

Hey, this one actually made me feel good. They ditched the Delorean?

Ohhhhhhhh the feeling

And still have no idea how to play minesweeper 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks, Macaulay. I wish you would look up to Bart Simpson, he doesn't age like that.

I'm a millenial, but I get angry too.

HAD? Still use 'em!

I still think the 90s were 10 years ago.

UK specific but when I was a kid in the 80's we had a grand total of 4 TV channels to choose from.

Well, they played a nifty tune first, and then some nice white noise to fall asleep to...

The test card!!! the idea was that you could adjust the set to make sure everything was straight and colours didn't overlap. focus etc. I was in TV / VCR repair in the 80s we had a thing call a pattern generator so we didn't have to stay up late at night to adjust the sets we repaired ;-)

And in the morning you were staring it waiting for the cartoons to begin

And in the UK we had that test card with the little girl and the scary-ass clown thing

I'm old enough for no color.

Two of our three channels showed us jets flying with the National Anthem, THEN that.

Face masks with this design were a hit in my village among the 40+. Kids were all flabbergasted why me and my 'old' friends thought it was so funny.

What about "It's 10 pm. Parents, do you know where your children are?"

yes! and this noise hhhhhhhh....

The national anthem played after broadcast...and then, white noise.

You didn't go back far enough. The 1950s.

Sometimes this image with the long “beeeeeeeeeeeeep” is what my brain feels like at times.

A lot of channels would play the national anthem (in the US), with a video of a waving flag. Then the screen would go to fuzz

They signed off with the national anthem then a test pattern

Blessing, now it's white light toxins 24/7

When they fired back up in the morning; nice music, station sign-on info, Star Spangled Banner, and a flag raising!

Ours played The Star Spangled Banner

Or a constant beeeeeeep

Still the case of some stations in my country.

And then some white noise till 5:30 am

in black & white only!

Trippy to me o.O

I wasn’t alive in the 80s but my grandma has that on her TV in the early 2010s so it was when I was like 3-8
