So who all remembers watching the old TV serials from the 50s? We got our first TV in 1952.

May have been some reruns, not sure. I was born in 1948, I remember first-run episodes of I Love Lucy in the 1952-1953 era. I remember Fury, My Friend Flicka, Howdy Doody, Spin and Marty, The George Burns show, My Little Margie, the Honeymooners too.

How about Tugboat Annie? The Gale Storm Show?? We didn't get a TV until I was about 12-13 (1959-60), but watched at friends' houses before that. I HATED Howdy Doody!!

Earliest TV show that I remember. Our first TV was a 1950's model though, we had to slap it on the side to keep the picture from rolling and constantly adjust the rabbit ears for reception.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Yep, I watched Mr. Ed too..

"Oh! Susanna" with Gale Storm was the original Love Boat. Let's not forget American Bandstand, the Twist and the Stroll.
