“My dad is a TV repair man. He has an awesome set of tools.” Good ol’ Spicoli.

Would have been funny to replace it with a real brick while no one was watching.

In the late 60's, early 70's they used to sell a form rubber brick just for throwing at your TV!

We used a pillow, we called it a "TV brick" when ever something came on that we did not like or was just bad, we thru the pillow at the tv and said "TV brick" which meant bad tv. The pillow had to be just right, not hard, not too soft, not too big but big enough to make an impact. Of course, one had to get up to retrieve the brick, but that was part of the fun. For your listening pleasure 3-25-1993, the next night at the Dean Smith Center. Another great performance by the boys includes several new songs that are played just right. A great solo by Jerry on the opening Touch of Grey, a slew of new songs in the first set including a good So Many Roads, Lazy River Road, Eternity and Liberty, all delivered with gusto and feeling. Sprinkled among some fine renditions of GSET, Minglewood, with a NC reference, Mexicali, Big River and a fine Friend of the Devil. The second set is where we get off, a very well delivered China Cat>Rider followed by a great Man smart with crowd participation weaving into Wave to the Wind, a good song done well here, too bad Phil refuses to release this song, one of his better muses from the 90's. Why Phil? I have heard that you don't like this tune, which escapes logic. This precedes a beautiful Terrapin into a fantastic Drums>Space sequence that flows quite effortlessly into Vince's Way to go Home, wow. Then, the real reason to listen, this great Other One followed by a fantastic Morning Dew. Jerry pulls out all the stops and his voice is right on. The Weight finishes the evening and we all go home, our minds magnificently blown.

Yep, we did that too. It wasn't until 1981 or so when I got my first television with remote control not long after MTV hit the cable television line-up. My parents cable bill in 1953 was $1.50 per month. At the time, the cable TV line-up consisted of several Philadelphia based television broadcasters and several New York City based TV broadcasters. No HBO, no CNN and no MTV. That system was a "community antenna" type business. Service Electric Cable Television was founded in later 1948 and still going strong in eastern Pennsylvania and western New Jersey. The company was started in 1948 in Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania by John Walson, who owned a General Electric appliance store. At the time, the surrounding mountains in Schuylkill County made over-the-air reception from Philadelphia television stations difficult. Walson, who was interested in selling television sets through his store, solved the problem by building an antenna on top of the mountain overlooking the town. He initially ran a cable to his warehouse and then to his appliance store, using boosters to enhance the signal. Along the way, he hooked up neighbors to the antenna system. Although there are others who have laid claim to the honor, Walson is often recognized for having built the first cable TV system in the United States. Until Walson's death, the company was known as Service Electric Cable TV, Inc., which was based in Bethlehem, PA.

Didn't have that problem when I was very young in England for the simple reason that there was only one channel, the good old BBC. When the BBC closed down for the night, the last broadcast of each day was the playing of the national anthem, after which you had to get up to turn the TV off - and kept looking at the screen until the little white dot in the middle disappeared. Later, with the coming of an independent channel, the choice was expanded to two channels and one did have to get up to change channels, but it was years before there were more than four channels.

speaking of Fast Times at Ridgemont High it's like Dude: you banged a minor lol
