Tell about your first favorite TV shows.
I will first tell about our fist TV. It was an old Black and White one with a thing we could put in front of it to make it look like color. It was a big beast as well. It was our only TV for a lot of years. We did finally get a color TV and from then on I don’t really remember any of them specifically. I do remember the shows however that I would get to watch once in a while after school. We had the Lone Ranger, Zorro, The Rifleman, and I Love Lucy. Those were probably my favorites with no particular one as the favorite. I remember a few other shows that we watched like Larwence Welk , and the Monkees.
I was curious after writing this the other night so went to the internet and found a list of movies from the 40's through the 70's. I was surprised when I found out the ages of some of the shows.
I have listed the ones I remember the best below from the 40's and 50's.
