Television sets have come in all different shapes and sizes over the years, from giant cabinets with tiny round screens to enormous screens that are flat as a pancake.
Here are 12 different TVs from years past. All but one of them is from the 1960s. Can you spot the one that isn’t?

This quiz is fun!
Got it on the 1st try. I’m awesome!
TV’s then were part of the living room and the style (colonial, oak, etc,) had to fit in with the overall style of the rest of the furniture. I remember one with sliding doors that you could close so you wouldn’t have to look at a blank screen. If I got home from school and these doors were closed it meant “no TV” until I figured out what me or my sisters did to get my Mom mad.
It took me three tries. My downfall was thinking #1, with the relatively small screen, and #4, with the rounder screen, might be from the 50s.
My grandma won this tv in a supermarket contest and she put it on the top of her bedroom dresser. She liked to watch it when grandpa was stuck on sports in the living room.
12th try.
1st try and didn't even scroll all the way down.
Found it on the first try. The television looked too modern for the 1960's.
Got it on the second try. I should have spotted that plastic base as a '70's thing.
1972.
5 tries
Took a few tries, but the real fun was just admiring the designs. :] My favorite is the eighth. If it had a little railing on top like a few of the others to emphasize it as a shelf, and perhaps if it were more elevated, it’d be perfect. :D
Found it on the 3rd try. That funny looking base gave me the clue after missing twice before. I loved and miss all those great American brand names: Sylvania, Westinghouse, Zenith, Admiral, RCA, Magnavox, and Motorola,
Yaaaay!!! (In a sarcastic tone)....only took six tries. 👎
i cheated i had that tv

2nd guess! :)
we had a zenith in the 60s;it was the first color one we had and you had three color knobs to adjust the colors as well as a contrast and tint knob.icould tell that one was from the 70s,they would never have made something that looked like that in the 60s.ours looked liked a piece of furniture but lasted a long time,even into the 80s and weighed a ton,tubes all the way
tv's lasted back then , i had the same tv from 1970 to 1998 thing still works . and if they broke down they could be fixed easily . miss the days when appliances lasted and could be fixed easily
My parents had a mid '60s 25" Magnavox color TV from the earliest of my memory. Of course, encapsulated in a heavily varnished light walnut footed cabinet. I'm a month from being 56 and always had a color TV. I felt kinda special as a kid to have color TV because a lot of my friends still had B&W sets through the early '70s. Special!
Kinda similar to the 4th one down.
I rocked the TV quiz!
