Watching television in the 1970s was as much about the ritual as the shows themselves. Families gathered around bulky consoles with wood-panelled cabinets, adjusting rabbit-ear antennas to get the clearest picture. Commercials for cereal, toys, and newfangled gadgets added to whatever happened to be on whichever of the five channels you happened to be watching. These photos capture that era, showing the sets, the viewers, and the unmistakable atmosphere of a simpler time when TV night was an event everyone shared.
