You're one lucky dude. We had to wait until Dad finally caved and we bought our own television, circa 1957. It wasn't long before the sockets for the tubes got a little corroded and we had to bang on the side of the cabinet to "fix" the TV. (It took another 20 years before the house was air conditioned.)

Oh, and we only had a party line for 3-4 years.
