The next TV was one of those cabinet-style ones (forgot the name of those things, someone help me out here), color, but still needed the antennas with the foil flags, lol.
Our van came with a CB radio.
And who can forget the kitchen phone with the 30-foot cord that would get hopelessly twisted up around itself until someone finally went to the trouble of unwinding it by allowing the cord to untwist with the handset spinning at 1,000 rpm for 5 minutes?

Our first color TV was a combo stereo record player/19" TV in a gigantic wood cabinet that was damn near as long as my car and nearly as heavy. By the time that came along we lived in town and had cable, so a few more channels and no more antenna madness.
And we had one of those phones with the ridiculously long twisty cord. And of course it was a rotary phone. God those sucked.
