Yeah, I remember them a little bit because my Grandma still had one of those TV's(that used tubes) that was in a wood-grain cabinet. It was still working the day they got rid of it and replaced it with a smaller box color television. The weird thing about it though, was the fact that the local TV repair shop still had the tubes to replace the burnt out ones in the TV.

LOL.yeah I remember my great aunts, grandpa, grandma having to do that. For a while my great grandmother still had the floor TV I think it stopped working in 1996 they just used to set things on top oflol. I think they threw it out in the early 00s.

I was born in '76 and until 1990, all we had was an old black and white set at home. Yes, I remember having to turn the knob in order to change channels. We didn't get color TV and cable until 1990, and we didn't get a VCR until around 1993.
My parents really got with the times around 1998 when they bought a microwave.

I have a Zenith Color TV (with the round! picture tube) and the tube type stereo combo in storage, watched it for about a year. The picture was amazing even for a TV that old.

I can remember my family owning a huge console TV (a TV in a wooden frame that had legs) that was a black & white TV. That was back in the 60's, I think the TV lasted till the early 70's. (I can remember watching football games on it that were broadcast by an outfit called the Mizlou Sports whoever the heck they were.)
