You've only got a nine inch one?
I heard the lady say
I'll never get much joy from that
She muttered in dismay
There are some much bigger
I heard the man explain
But if you get one far too big
It could cause you some pain
I listened to this most carefully
Thinking she'd be pleased with mine
My wife was very satisfied
And was for quite some time
I said this to the lady
Even offered to show her mine
Most televisions were quite small
In nineteen forty-nine.
I’ll take you’re word for that dear Don
As I am far too young
To remember 1949 or even 51,
Size does matter as you say but in order to survive,
Pete and I proudly own one that’s 55 (inches)!
Thank you Don, made me laugh! Xxxx🤣
Oh Don, scallywag with knobs on. Ooooh... What have I just said?
Love
Kate and a scandalised Zebra xxxx
I don't know why you keep calling me a scallywag. Out of all the technical advances that have taken place during my 88 years, I reckon TV sets are the most impressive and least recognised as such. Do try to calm that Zebra down. xxxx
😅😂😅 I can remember watching muffin the mule 🤔X
They had some excellent children programmes in those early days. Just in time to entertain my two in the late 50s early 60s. They took a real interest in it. Now it's not much better than electronic wall paper to a lot of people.
My grandchildren don't bother with the telly to busy on their smart phones or computers
I'm a child of the 50's and I can remember the first TV my parents bought when I was about 2 years old. I don't know the screen size but it was small and the children's programmes were great. I could happily watch some of them now.
Me too and Annette Mills was the first person I knew of who died. I was devastated.
Good morning Mr.D and 😂🤣😂🤣 honestly, i didnt see where you were going with todays rhyme but suffice to say i was laughing like a silly child. Excellent start to my day, so its going to be a Mr.D ... 🏆... classic!!! (Particularly necessary today as i have been hyperventilating in the bathroom with a panic attack that came out of nowhere but couldn't shift it for a good 30 mins.).🐿💕
I wish I could offer some help with your panic attacks SH they must be very frightening for you. Knowing that my silly scribbles cheer you up a bit really pleases me. 🤡😘x
You are a "life saver" with your whitty rhymes . You've no idea just how they can be a much needed distraction in the morning and for that I'm eternally grateful. They've often been able to regulate my panic breathing, just never told you before ! 🐿💕
Just catching up on posts and wanted to say that I'm sorry you suffer such bad panic attacks and wanted to let you know that I too have them come out of the blue at times. Distraction helps me overcome them too if I can find something to focus on when nothing else is helping. Awful things, I hope you don't get them too often xx
Thank you so much for your kind words and suggestions to using the distraction technique when these nasty, horrid panic attacks raise thier ugly heads☠️. So many people with COPD seem to get them especially as COPD progresses. Im sorry that you've also been subjected to them but from what you said, i hope they're not too frequent. Have a great weekend but keep warm!🐿💕
😆😂🤣🙄😁
Only the Master Po himself could pull of that one if you will excuse the expression without suffering eternal damnation and exile from the dodgy site,your skill with the written word and innuendo is admirable says grasshopper in awe of his masters technique.

Not sure what you are on about there Grasshopper, but thanks anyway. 😇😉x
Oh dear. It sounds like skis is being tortured again by Scruffy cat. Either that or he has swallowed a dictionary and his eating problems are history! 🤩🍔🍟🥪🥩🧀 x
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍xxx
That made me laugh. And thanks for the link. What strange looking TVs. 📺 A few years ago (not that many) a friend my parents was changing his television for a new one and asked if they wanted his current bag TV, to which they said yes please. The screen was hardly any bigger than the old style boxy TVs 📺 but the back on it was huge. Some city apartments aren’t much bigger. It needed a solid wood table to stand on to hold its weight and size. Now TVs have hardly any depth but seem to span the length of one wall.
It's a pity that the quality of most of the programmes reduced at the same rate. 😠
Ha ha Don. Wonderful xx
I really don't know what to say Don! Interpretation, is the right word, I think. I'm just getting a pen to write it down.!
Humour makes the world go round. Thanks, Chrys
It's not only beauty that is in the eye of the beholder, Chrys.
Well said, but you are naughty!
They were still quite small in 1956, when my gran had her first one. 
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣📺📺📺👍👍❤
Oh you’re naughty but that was very funny. 🤣 I’m of the generation where I had cable TV from quite a young age, I think I was around 10 years old!
Oh you are naughty -but I like you 😘
Remember Bill and Ben (bubberlub) and Weed (weeeeed) - no wonder we turned out like we did!

Blubbering and weeing all over the place? 😂
My favourite Bill and Ben just loved weeds thanks cofdrop.😆😆😅
My fave were The Woodentops 😉 xxx
Very funny. Thanks for making me laugh.
Hubby and I are both disabled so TV is our entertainment for the most part. We just recently upgraded to a 55" TV. I do agree with you, the available programming leaves a lot to be desired. We got rid of cable tv over a year ago. We have a few favorite shows that we watch, but mostly we use a fire stick to stream the old shows. Hubby has started watching car 54 where are you. We also watch Laugh In, and Green Acres.
Strewth! I had forgotten all about Laugh In, my all time favourite at the time. Looking back at it now it might have had more of a influence on me than I thought. 😂
You have a wicked sense of humour Don, but we love it, at least I wasnt drinking my tea when i read this ha! x
I think Feelingblessed2013 may have just reminded me where I might have picked that up from.
