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... :))))))))))))

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.

Yep, and I was waiting for the IP Ownership versus freedom versus Copyright 'debate' to start...
:)))))

Yep, Herb, same for me... but I think our Dumont was only 12" round...
:)

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.

I'm blocked also - darn! grew up on Mickey
Mouse, Rice Krispies, Shirley Temple...re:
Shirley, every Mom thought her little girl could be another Shirley! She was a marvel -

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

HA HA! Your country sucks! Oh, wait, it's blocked for me also. Guess the Banana Republic of America sucks.

"No TV for you". You were lucky. I always got grounded for life.

I cannot believe it! Well at least you know how I feel. Most movie posts are blocked in my country. Sorry to tempt you. :(

Why's this blocked in my country? Is it my fault. I didn't mean it.

This is what I grew up with on the radio every afternoon... A tiny bit before my time, but oh so relevant today.
Good Day!
(Listen!)

This is also blocked in my country. And here I was, all excited to see what you grew up on [I grew up on Rice Krispies and Mighty Mouse] - and "no tv for you!". hmmmm.

This is blocked in my country :( Did you do that on purpose?!
