    TV 1950-1985: stand up, walk to TV, pull knob to turn it on. Wait for it to warm up. Grab dial, rotate to one of 13 positions, skipping over dead stations. Use tuning knobs to stop image from rolling. Focus image. Adjust volume. Sit down. Show ends. Stand up. Grab dial, rotate...https://twitter.com/morganhousel/status/1176814580556865536 …

        Not to mention, if you didn't have a rooftop antenna, adjusting the set-top one for each new station. This is why it really mattered for TV programming if you had a great (popular) lead-in show. It was too much of a PITA to change stations.

        You left out the step of getting the cat off the tv controls.

        The difference, of course, is money. I remember both what airwave subscription TV was like, and exactly how much work one would go through to see the nudie bits for free.

        We had a remote in 1985. It had a cord that connected it to the tv, but my dad still kept it in a drawer so we wouldn’t lose it.
