    My first TV was one of those with the rule that I had to get it to my room myself to keep it and my first bedroom was in a basement and the when I moved it was to the attic. Fun times. Heavy fricking TV

      We had one of those big green screen TVs. I remember when we threw it out so the kids gathered to hit it with a bat. It could not break! Even with a hammer that front part of the screen was intact. Crazy thick glass and all.
