Lilly : Do you get these old re-runs of “Gunsmoke”?
Ronnie : That’s all my set will receive, Lilly.
Lilly : Maybe that 60's TV is picking up the original transmissions !.

How does digital smoke smell? Good, like the 60's analog smoke?

Your blending of ideas and images is truly amazing. If I had a choice, I would go to Lilly's house to watch TV. :)

At the speed of light the signal has been beyond Andromeda and back Mr Dillon Sir. No wonder reception is a tad flaky

I like this one : an old TV set, and a classical TV show…

Now that's impressive! If I hadn't known what you two do, I wouldn't have noticed that the TV was a combo.

Nice blending. Lyllie is more modern :) and I suppose that "Toshiba" is from her television. Makes me remember my grand mother old television which was in BW...

Very nostalgic 70's in style, with the buttons in the front for colour adjustments. Gunsmoke was or is still the longest running show on TV at 21 years.

Absolutely love this shot. I know I'm showing my age, but I remember this TV series very well. Great image!

I have a vague idea I know exactly what the inside of your garage looks like! This really does bring back memories - of early tvs and tv shows!

@dobbino: : (from Ronnie) You have it about right on my garage . . about the only thing not in that museum is a car!

Really great nostalgic image, but I miss the rabbit ears.

There is nothing better than classics :)
Can't believe you still got this TV set :)

@Ilan: : (from Ronnie) Yes, this is a 25 inch mid-60’s Thorn 2000 dual-standard chassis which was the very first fully-transistorized color television series in the world. At the Science Museum, they refer to it as likely the most complicated piece of domestic equipment there will ever be. Remember there were no integrated circuits back then !

This is a cool1 I like the fusion of the old and modern sets! Gunsmoke is a classic.

I like it... because I often end up watching an episode of Gunsmoke when I'm flipping channels -- Why can't they do productions like that anymore... every episode is like watching a movie.

Great retro feel to this image (of course)!

This is really cool. You have to look a little harder to find the two pictures. Nicely done.

Well done. Not much to add to the excellent comments.

The real trick is how you combined the PAL and NTSC images on the telly. Funny, never watched the show, but knew instantly where the image came from. I guess that's a sign that the show is iconic.
