    I'm so old that I grew up on wrestling, test patterns, and B&W cartoons, on a ten inch screen.. When Dumont came out with a sixteen inch screen we thought we had gone to heaven.Although I must admit I was a bit addicted to Kukla, Fran and Ollie, with the puppeteer supreme, Burr Tillstrom. OK, you elderly folks, sing along with me:
    Here we are, back with you again,
    Yes by gosh and yes by golly,
    Kukla, Fran, and dear old Ollie...
    Kukla, the little guy with a Russian name, Fran Allison, a real live woman, and Ollie, the dragon with a prehensile tooth.

        Oh, you poor underprivileged soul. Actually, I never got a 16 incher until I got married and got a Crosley 16 as a wedding present.

          Mom was very frugal, having lived through starvation in eastern Poland around the turn of the Other Century...
          We inherited several sets along the way, like a Sylvania (I think it was) with Halo-Light!... maybe 24" around then.
          My first wife was a TV addict. We referred to her as "if she sat down in front of a TV, you'd have to arrange for intravenous feedings."
          We never owned a TV through our 13 or so years of marriage. I had to borrow a set to watch the Moon Landing!
          Well, after that divorce, some years later, my new fiancé and I bought a 50" Pioneer rear-projector we called "Goliath."
          After we moved to NC after selling our well-appreciated CA home, we donated the Pioneer to a church group (took three volunteers to get it out of the house...) and later ended up with our 60" or so Plasma Samsung.
          Can't go bigger without lowering the table a new set would sit on, since it wouldn't fit under the fireplace mantle... Ah, the problems I've had to deal with in my life... :))))))))))))

    I'm sensing some irony here. The advocates for IP protection getting defeated by copyright violation? Or is this sarcasm?

      lol I don't know. I sure hope this didn't make the digest. or I'll be saying I'm sorry all day. I wonder if just put it in the search for you tube if it will show up. I was originally just looking for the theme song, but was pleasantly surprised the whole movie was available. it's peter sellers gold
