*tv
cozy was a homemade decorative cloth cover used to protect the television
set when it was not in use. The television was invented and sold to the public
more than a year before any programs existed. People kept the tv covered til
they would be able to use it, trusting that one day there might be a broadcast.
The name "tv cosy" is a derivative of the "tea cosy", a decorative
dress that covered the teapot to keep it warm.
