Remember when your dad brought home that first TV with a 13" screen in a console? If you were lucky and had a rotor for the antenna, you could get 3 stations - on a good day. For the younger crowd: the rotor turned the rooftop antenna so you could receive station signals from different directions. Sometimes a vacuum tube would burn out, so you'd go to the store and replace it.
Westerns were the most plentiful type of series:
The Rifleman
Wagon Train
Bonanza
Have Gun, Will Travel
The Lone Ranger
Others, I liked:
Ozzie and Harriet
Sea Hunt
Sky King
Lassie
Dragnet
Victory at Sea
Wild Kingdom
There were many others but that's a long enough walk down memory lane.
