I have my Zenith tv in my basement from '84. It still works to. They don't make tvs like this anymore, my 27'' tv from 2003 is already breaking.

I have a Zenith tv that I bought new in '84, and I'm still using it!

The old TV's are out lasting the new models these days !!!!

I still have a Zenith from back in the day. I also hooked up a Zenith DTT 900 converter box. They knew how to build those TV sets.

@uzernaam100 It doesn't look stupid. It's representative of the time it came out. Everything about our technology will "look stupid" once it's obsolete too.

I bought one of their 20-inch TVs in 1992, and it was awful (they were made in Mexico then.) The thing had dot-crawl from hell!

What would you call a product that looks like crap today? What would you call today's crap? Stuff you wouldn't buy in 20 years because it will look as stupid then as this junk does today...!!!

At the near end of the commercial where all three TVs are lined up, you'll notice the 19" model on the right hand side. I had that same one until I gave it to a friend.

WORST... MISTAKE... EVER!!!!!!

Zenith is an AWESOME BRAND and has always been a brand for us when I was a kid!! I LOVE Zenith!!

Even when I went to family/friend's houses, they had Zenith TVs!!

We used to have a Black and White Zenith TV as well as a Zenith Console TV! The B&W lasted 39 years and the console lasted 16 years WITHOUT ANY REPAIR!

I find it sad that there's no Zenith's available. Even though LG is a Zenith, I'd prefer to see the name on it. :'( ahh good times.
