That's how we kids would watch T.V. in the 50s; on the floor while the folks were on the couch.

We got our first TV set in 1957, when I was seven. I honestly do not recall any of these shows, except for Jackie Gleason. It leads me to wonder what I did watch. - I got my driver's license in 1966. My first car was in fact a 1957 Dodge Coronet. Mechanically the car was very sound. But driving it was like piloting a steam ship. Ugh!

I hear you. I got my Driver license in 1969, and my first car was a 1955 Ford PU, basic model with a three on the tree stick shift. It had three knobs on the dash: Choke, Windshield wiper and Lights. No power steering: so my arms shoulders got a great workout, especially when I was parallel parking.

Later, as director of Voice of America he resigned when he discovered the USIA was interfering in his running of the program.

These are amazingly obscure...and I started watching TV religiously in the 1950s

Herb Shriner was hilarious. Very offbeat. We watched a couple of his shows not that long ago, and it was still funny---especially his supposed "home movies". Too bad he has been more or less forgotten.

Wow

A sobering thought here but as of 2021, broadcast cigarette ads have been gone longer than they were ever on...Including radio.

That theme for Paar is "Serenata"..quite a few people have recorded it - more often, it is an instrumental. But Johnny Hartman (hard to find), and Nat Cole recorded it as a vocal - I am sure sang the lyrics...

Sarah Vaughn sang it as well.

Just watched this video with yeat playing in the background, this shit crazy

Anybody else notice that the theme song for "Keep It In The Family" was also used by "Married With Children"?

"Brought to you by Sunsweet Prune Juice...the drink with something extra!" NO KIDDING...

Wow, white faces everywhere-so far, and I was there as a kid. Amazing montage.!😲

Yep. I get that something extra every time I drink it .

TV was so much better in those days, nothing but garbage on the tube today.

You can find some on KZread just by doing a search by title, network, season or decade and/or lead actors/actresses, and/or any combination of those. Daily Motion is another site where you'll find episodes of series, but again, not all of them. And using different search engines, too, like Bing and Metacrawler (with the latter click Videos, type a TV show title in the search window for a specific series to see if it exists, or just simply type TV Series for a mixed bag of results), as well as other search engines you can use for additional or different results.

Here's the THURSDAY NIGHT TV - EARLY FALL 1983! Lineup goes like this: ABC 8:00 Trauma Center 9:00 9 to 5 9:30 It's Not Easy 10:00 20/20 CBS 8:00 Magnum, P.I. 9:00 Simon & Simon 10:00 Knots Landing NBC 8:00 Gimme a Break! 8:30 Mama's Family 9:00 We Got It Made 9:30 Cheers 10:00 Hill Street Blues

What a memorable line-up that was. If you miss that line-up, raise your hand.

Life buoy stops B.O. for three days ....... and the birth rate was so much higher then.

Andy Williams on the College Bowl. Geesh. The 1960 Dodge in 1957. The Jack Parr Show and General Eisenhower (not President Eisenhower, really dates this.) Keep It In The Family Gary Olson started announcing.

Born in the 60s. These are the ones I know. The shows. There was a few stars who had a show I did not know who went on to have other shows that I would know. Jack Parr show Jackie Gleason show .......... And of course I know who Johnny Olson is.

Manno…except for The Jackie Gleason show, and maybe Lawrence Welk, I don’t remember ANY of these openings. Yet, I was there.

With no seat belts, no body reinforcement frame members, no anti-lock brakes, they may have been cars to die in😥

Good thing nipper has floppy ears.

Having been in both times, it would be nice to get a little of both of them. Like, the car styles of then but the safety of now. And though I cherish the experience, I'll trade a trade a darkroom for a copy of Photoshop any day. But no camera made today can be passed down like fine tool. Some things better many things much worse.

It was a better universe where you only had to worry about the Republicans accusing you of being a communist if anyone accused you. Things STARTED to improve for the black community with the Brown vs Board of Education
