One question for those who lived there, how was TV reception around the city during the 50's, 60's, and 70's?

We live in Burbank, up against the Verdugos so our reception was terrible. We would get Channel 2 (CBS), Channel 4 (NBC) and partly Channel 5 (Local) All the signals came from Mt Wilson and we were in the shadow of the hills from that. Our only clear signal came from Mt Lee in Griffith Park where the towers for 2 and 4 were located. There was one for channel 5 there as well but on the southern side so that from our house, everyone on channel 5 had three heads. (somewhat disconcerting) My cousins lived on the "flats" in Burbank and could get Channel 7 (ABC) and local stations channels 11 & 13. They could see shows we had never heard of. We felt deprived. We got cable in the late 60s and things improved but then you had to pay for it.
