For a couple of reasons. The first is because TVs used to be considered a piece of furniture. Nicer ones were encased in heavy wood cabinets and weighed a ton. The other is TVs were actually repairable. Containing tubes, discrete and modular components, troubleshooting and repairing a TV was relatively easy. Today they’re much more reliable and considered consumables outside of some minor repairs.

TV repairmen came to your house because TVs were considered furniture?  Wouldn't that make them furniture repairmen?   

C'mon gramps.  Tell us the story about the first time you saw one in color.
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.
