I think TV was invented in the 20's and in some homes by the forties? I know I Love Lucy was already on in the early 50's because Lucy was pregnant with Little Ricky on the show and he was born in 1953. Maybe Westinghouse was slow on the uptake:D I say that because I was just listening to the radio and heard on the news that this was the 50th anniversary of the first color TVs being sold. "And now, in LIVING COLOR" (As opposed to dead color?:D)Color TV celebrates it's 50th Birthday (http://www.post-gazette.com/tv/20031231colortv1231p3.asp)

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a colour TV....

LOL When I was growing up we did have colour TV but no cable or remote control. You actually had to get your sorry butt off the couch and walk over to change channels.

As for Tater Tots, I went into Taco Bell about a year ago and decided to order a combo meal with Mexifries. What did I get???? Tater Tots.:rolleyes:
