Love your description, but I would add that radios were arguably an even more common reason for people to replace tubes. Also, while television stations did exist as far back as the late 1920s it really wasn't until after WWII that it became semi-common for the middle class - I live in Denver and we didn't get our first station until 1952, for example.
