We didn't have TV, so most Friday nights was a trip in to my Uncle's house for Gillette's Friday night fights. There was tune, "Look sharp, be sharp..." peddling razor blades, about all I recall. As a kid, I didn't understand the fight game, if somebody didn't get knocked out...how did they know who won?
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Both around 1950.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

We had 3 channels when i was young.
2 in one direction. 1 in the another.
The motor was out on the big antenna, so I’d have to go outside to the other end of the house and turn it with channellocks, listening For someone to yell. 😂🤣😂
Prolly earliest i remember is Sesame Street and electric company on PBS.

The Buster Brown Hour with Andy Devine (plunk your magic twanger, Froggie). I remember that when it was pre-television and it was the Smilin' Ed McConnell show. I even still have an original Froggy the Gremlin statue that I got when that show was popular. On early TV show, Kukla, Fran and Ollie was probably the first one I saw. TV was a 10" Admiral with that round screen. Most boring TV show to even be seen. A not all that good looking woman (Fran) talking I don't know what with a puppet (Kukla) and Ollie a puppet dragon IIRC. After a couple of days I went back outside and played in the street with my friends. Paul B.

Such youngsters here. Omnibus or Life Worth Living with Bishop Fulton Sheen in 1952 or the test pattern. It wasn't until 1953 that I got my Winky Dink And You drawing on the TV set for some quality TV programming as a five year old.

Lawrence Welk. The Lennin sisters. Galette boxing. I wasn’t allowed to mess with the TV. We didn’t have one but we went across the yard to grandmas house and watched with them.

I was about 6 or 7, in the mid 50's, when the neighbors got the 1st tv in the neighborhood. All the local kids would fill their living room every afternoon. It was mostly cowboy shows with a taste of Capain Kangaroo, a show that I thought was totally stupid.

I looked it up to see when Batman first came on TV; When did Batman first appear on television? On January 12, 1966, ABC premiered a live-action Batman television series starring Adam West and Burt Ward. [I was 5 years old]. My brothers and I were invited to our neighbors house to watch the premier of Batman on their new colored TV, it was amazing.

THe lone ranger and Disney on Sunday night in 1954 when I was 3 years old, at the neighbor's house with the only TV in the neighborhood.
A big 5 year old name Mikey, gave me a piggyback ride to get there and back in the dark.

One of the first, GUNSMOKE.
The television series ran for 20 seasons from 1955 to 1975, and lasted for 635 episodes.
Now 67 years later, it is still on several cable tv channels multiple times a day and everyday of the week.
What's really amazing, that in todays world of political correctness or whatever you want to call it, Every episode started with a shootout, and multiple shootings through out each show.
And yes I still watch it just about everyday 67 years later.
