My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was a teenager. Of course, it was black and white. She said she only watch it at night. She doesn't remember over watching it in the morning or afternoon. When I was young we had only about 3 or 4 different channels. My bothers, my sisters and l would sometimes fight about which channel to watch. But we usually enjoyed the same shows.
Nowadays we can get hundreds of channels on TV. I can't believe it! There are channels with old movies, cooking, fishing and so on. It's amazing! There is a channel for everything. I wonder how much my brothers, my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child. Of course we had only one television set. These days I notice families with 2 or 3 or more television sets in their homes. I guess it stops people from arguing over which channel to choose from.
