    What do kids think when they hear "Don't change that dial!"?

    No way in hell people still have TVs in their homes with dials on them, except for maybe ZetaPsi.

    As opposed to adults - who wouldn't be fukked at all (considering 65% are obese) right?

    "Adults" in here bitch about TV shows and Channels (ESPN) all the day, and they have the magic remote right at the ready.

    Haven't heard that phrase in a long time. I guess they would just skip through the commercials since they're watching on their digital recorder.

    Yeah, there were two dials on the TV (VHF and UHF). I remember having to get up to change the channel and remember when we got a remote control; we used to call it the 'clicker' because it clicked when you pushed the button and it would actually rotate the dial on the TV. Much simpler times.

    And the first cable TV control was a big clunky box with a long cord. . . I've seen all this. And this was all high-faluting living 30 years ago.

    I remember having to fine-tune local stations in also, here's a pic of the type of TV we had when I was young:



    Had 4 local channels, TBS, PBS, I think ESPN but can't really remember. It was a simpler time

    There are lots of examples in modern English of anachronisms that still convey their original meaning despite the loss of context.
    "Shut your face" refers closing the visor on one's helmet.
    "Son of a gun" is a reference to the habit among (mostly) British sailors of having sex on the gun deck in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
    "The third degree" is a reference to Masonism.
    "Under the weather" is another term originating form the British navy.
    "With bells on" refers to a practice peddlers had when they roamed the area west of the Appalachians selling wares. To avoid Indians, they traveled as silently as possible until they reached a settled area and then unmuffled their bells thereby announcing their presence.
