12. TV Room

The TV room, sometimes known as the basement living room, has three televisions mounted on one wall. President Lyndon B. Johnson, who owned three TVs to watch the three foremost network newscasts at the same time, was an inspiration to Elvis. Every Sunday, the King would watch NFL games since he was a tremendous football lover.

A pull-down screen for watching movies, a jukebox, and Elvis' personal record collection were available in the TV room. A giant lightning bolt, along with the letters TCB, was painted on the wall behind the couch. Elvis's credo "Taking Care of Business in a Flash" symbolized the letters TCB and the lightning bolt. Elvis also had custom-made bracelets and medallions with the Memphis Mafia logo created for him and the other Memphis Mafia members.
