Given I was an Army brat, and my Dad was stationed in various places - I distinctly remember staying in many motels while traveling cross country, where we saw our first color TV.I even remember our FIRST TV...I was 6 years old before we got one...3 stations all went off air after Jonny Carson 11.30-12?
