“A color TV can be trouble…” (JCPenney,1972)

“We designed the new JCPenney 19″ solid state color portable to minimize trouble.”

Time to switch on our Daily 70s Spot. Today, we take a look at JCPenney’s solid state portable televisions. Commercial aired in November of 1972.

I remember being excited thinking about a small TV you could bring along with you outside the home. It seemed futuristic. Now, I keep mine in my back pocket. It’s called a smartphone.
