1950s TV Shows

 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.
