Going to Radio Shack to buy a TV antennae is such a scam. Actually, going to Radio Shack and letting the salesman do any talking to you at all is a huge scam, but onto the point. I wanted to watch the Red Sox game but since I never watch TV I didn’t even have an antennae. So I went to buy some rabbit ears since experience has taught me that extra bells and whistles don’t mean anything to a TV antennae.
I had to go to two Radio Shacks just to get some cheap $7 rabbit ears. The either had the antennae that looked like the globe from the World’s Fair in Queens, plastic satellite dishes or this other stupid thing which was rabbit ears basically attached to a picture frame.
At my old house back in Massachusetts we had two TVs, one with an antennae with dials and knobs that click plus some circular globular wire thing. Then we had another which was rabbit ears with a square of tin foil on it. The rabbit ears got better reception. The only thing that will truly make TV reception better is if you have someone hold onto the TV antennae while the rest of you watch. It must have something to do with how electricity is conducted through the human body. Because as soon as we would grab the knobs to the antennae the reception would be great, if you let go it would get all fuzzy again.
