Hard to believe today, but black and white TVs were still being sold and bought as secondary or mini TVs well into the 80s. I received my first TV Christmas of 1984 when I was five to watch TV in my room and it was a 13 inch black and white TV. One vivid memory I have is when I mistakenly heard during a week five NFL on NBC halftime show in 1986, that the Raiders would be playing the Seahawks on Monday night. They actually were playing the following week. Unknowingly I begged my Mom to let me watch the first half so I could see my second favorite team, the Raiders and my favorite player, Marcus Allen. I was disappointed to see the Seahawks were actually hosting the Chargers that week. I still feel guilty to this day for some reason, that I inadvertently lied to my Mom about the reason I needed to watch. I watched that game in black and white, but that game is now on Youtube in full color. Anyone else watch a lot of Black and White TV long after all broadcasts were in color?
