I remember almost all of the above, can't remember the very first.
I can say that as a small child the concept of comedy was completely over my head. I used to get quite upset when Mr Mooney would yell at Lucy and she would start bawling. I thought Hogan's Heroes was a documentary and that the guys were going to get caught and executed any time. Thought Moe was an SOB for beating up on Larry and Curly all the time and wanted to kick his ass.
I dunno what the hell was wrong with me but I'm glad I got over it!

Grandparents were game show junkies.
I have fond memories of staying at their house and watching those old black & white shows:

Password
Candid Camera
The Real McCoys
My Three Sons Don’t omit The Hit Parade brought to you by Lucky Strike cigarettes. LSMFT, lucky strike means fine tobacco. Or later in school, lets screw my finger’s tired. or "Loose Straps Make Floppy T*ts"

We kids watched Romper Room. I remember Miss Patty’s “Magic Mirror”. The damn thing saw Tommy and Billy and Suzy and Mary all the freakin time, but never once did she see Reon! I’ve had a complex ever since!  I remember Mom watching Laugh In, and The Old Man watching Gunsmoke and Bonanza. 7mm

I was born in 1952.
I remember Wagon Train with ward Bond. I think it started about 1957, the year we got our first TV.
Before that I remember listening to the radio in the evening, or playing 78 records.
Also remember Bonanza from about the same time frame.

Clarkm,

.... this gimmick had its heyday in the 1960s, when almost 3% of all films showed characters sinking in clay, mud, or sand.

Anyone remember the military shows on Saturday morning? The Big Picture - Army, Victory at Sea - Navy, Air Power - Air Force. They were on every Saturday morning in the early 1950s. Mostly about WWII.

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. drover i remember my dad taking me to one of his presentation.great show
