3......you lucky so-and-so. We only had two and they shut off at 11 pm and didn't start up again until 7 or 8 am.

Remember how they shut down? The image would reduce down to a little white dot in the middle of the screen which took a minute or two to go away? I remember being very little and trying to look into the white dot in the center of dad's 21" console B&W TV to see if you could still see the picture in that little white dot.
