When I was small, mom, dad and I lived in an apartment upstairs from my grandma.
Minneapolis was the city, one I strenuously avoid now.
The Republican convention was playing on the small black and white TV in the
living room. I marched back and forth in the room chanting the same thing the attendees
at the convention were. (I think it was the one before Eisenhower's second term.)
"I like Ike! I like Ike!"
I recall TV sheriffs, Roy and Dale, touchy Jeeps, cowpokes, and Howdy Doody Time later but the
convention might be one of my first TV memories. Could explain a lot, eh?
Just a dog chauffeur that used to hold the dumb end of the leash.
There may be one other forum member who remembers Dr. Max and Mambo, but I doubt it.
I watched the first season of Sesame Street as a two year old.
One of my earliest tv memories is Nixon’s resignation.
Ignore Alien Orders
One of my earliest memories is of watching the first moon landing on our black and white console TV in the living room of the apartment we lived in when I was wee. I still have a snapshot of it I can see if I think about it.
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776
Highway Patrol, Sea Hunt, Sky King, Clutch Cargo (Worst animation ever), Popeye (My sister looked just like Olive Oyl in the cartoons, until she hit puberty).
Later on Ghoulardi, Bill Kennedy Showtime, and the Lou Gordon Show. Watching Lou tear up kooks and crooks on his show was highly entertaining. The Flat Earth couple was the best. The crook Frank Rizzo was good too..

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
Rural area, few options. Best remembered are Wild, Wild, West, Batman, and Hogan’s Heros, all in black & white.

...the list continues.
There's nothing civil about this war.
Reruns of Giligans Island, Leave It To Beaver, Twilight Zone, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, I Love Lucy, and lots of cartoons. My dad liked Gunsmoke and Bonanza.
I feel fortunate to have been in HS from 75-79, when Saturday Night Live was in its prime.
