Put on your Virtual Reality gear, and you can have a TV with a dial. Although with enough channels you’ll probably need multiple dials… Or make the dial, really, really big…
Kids will never know the horror of the “fine tuning” knob, and how you had to change the UHF channels VERY SLOWLY to make sure you hit the right one…. Let’s not forget wrapping aluminum foil around the bowtie, or stringing it between the rabbit ears….
Hey Nimrod. .Dials go back to Radios when you Dialed IN a station….Line from an old movie “Quiet Junior, I just Got Cleveland” – he lived in St Louis….Very “Exotic”….You still call your “Phone” a “Phone” don’t you?…..

Actually, the original “Blondie” TV series started with “Ah, ah, ah! Don’t touch that dial!”

Garfield has a flat screen instead of his old one. That’s why.

How can Garfield not remember? He was around in the late 1970s and the 1980s when TV sets still had dials.

the dial, when you were a kid sitting on the floor and you felt moms slipper on your back as a cue to get up and change the channel.

Although, funnily enough, people still talk about dialing phone numbers.

Garfield was born in 1978. He should know about the TV dial.

“Don’t touch that dial”? That’s a line from Weird Al Yankovic’s “UHF”
