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."
A wise man is frequently humbled.

I remember the Mouseketeers being on in the am before school. Captain Kangaroo. All the westerns Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Cheyenne, Have Gun Will Travel, The Guns of Will Sonnet, Sugarfoot, Lancer. Daniel Boone, Stoney Burke, Batman, on Saturday nights it was Lawrence Welk, on Sunday nights it was Red Skelton and Ed Sullivan. The nightly news was always Walter Cronkite. 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.

Even as a little kid, I noticed the repeated cliff hanger with fraying rope in Fury, and "stuck on the bottom and running out of air" in Seahunt.
Now as an old man making up stories for grandkids, I steal plots and use every ploy. Clarkm, Don't forget quicksand omg-omg we're in quicksand we're going to die unless someone throws us a rope

I'm so old - I remember "The Shadow" on radio! "Who knows - what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!"  OK - it was old stuff on a local station in the '70's

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.
Guns are responsible for killing as much as Rosie O'Donnel's fork is responsible for her being FAT.

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. drover

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?
