I think the Micky Mouse Club and Howdy Doody

We didn't have a TV, fortunately, and the older kids of the lady that babysat me had to stop playing outside everyday to go inside and watch that crap.

I'm 53 so probably Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Rogers as far as kid's shows. As far as prime time, I have vivid memories of my Dad watching Barnaby Jones and Ironside. First shows that really drew me in were the Planet Of The Apes TV series and The Six Million Dollar Man.

Not sure but I do remember Amos & Andy, LOL.

Back when my nephew from TN was a teenager 25 years ago, my wife was telling him about all the old shows and asked if he'd ever seen Beverley Hillbillies.

He said "seen 'em, heck we live with 'em."

In the afternoons after school there was the Filippo show, showed old movies like Charlie Chan and I remember watching The Creature from the Black Lagoon.
I forgot to mention the show I lived for The American Sportsman!

Forgot about the creature from the black Lagoon..thanks for posting that.


Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

We got Captain Kangaroo. I don’t remember seeing Sesame Street until my little brother & sister were old enough to watch TV.

There were plenty of Hillbillies in TX too. But they all lived in East TX. 😂

Other than cartoons, I recall as a very young kid (maybe 3 or 4?) laying on the carpet and intently watching Gordon Eastman hunting shows the old man had on the TV. Earliest non-cartoon show I can remember. Never missed one if I could help it.

That's funny, guess I am really showing my age but I can remember going to see Gordon Eastman do a live narration to his film that was shown on the stage in a local venue, he even had the mounted polar bear on the stage with him.

As far as TV shows - I never saw a TV until I was 12 or 13 the first show I remember was Kate Smith and Howdy Doody, which I thought was ridiculous, even then I thought Buffalo Bob was a bit odd.

Uncle Al, a show out of Cincinnati. I was there once, barely remember it.

After that it was Lassie, Roy, & Capt. Kangaroo. Thinking Capt. Kangaroo was Cinci based show as well. Wasn't he supposed to be a River Boat Capt. on the Ohio?
