If we are placing this setup in a time where a home theater would be prohibitively expensive, then it is also the time when a TV is a boxy space hoarding big blurb of NTSC/PAL glass. Making the whole TV discussion moot. There was probably a TV room with a more traditional sofa and a large wall embedded CRT TV. Still, in a house with a conversation pit there was no consideration for, nor expectation for a TV to be present in the living room. That is also a post modernist expectation, where screens are ubiquitous, demanded and expected to be present at all times.
