The top rated show in 1950 was the Lone Range but we didn't get our first television till 1956 when I was six years old.

When I was born, Huh? Well, by the time we bed down the dinosaurs for the night, the sun god would have started his journey to sunrise. We did not have this "television" you speak of. That explains why we have boomers.

We didn't have a TV set until the mid 50's. I do remember walking down the street to my Aunts house with my Mom and Dad to watch the Jack Benny show on a tiny TV screen much smaller than my computer screen.

We didn't have a TV until the mid 50s. The first time I remember seeing a TV set was when I was about 5. We had radio.

Not having an answer, I had to go look it up ....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_years_in_television
Had a TINY black and white set in the late 1940s, and the only TV I remember watching then was wresting in the evenings. Daytime TV didn't really exist at that time.

Oh the memories you brought back to me with "The Life of Riley". I just had to watch it and was remembering how much my Dad loved that show. He would watch it all the time. I was little but I can still remember how he would laugh and laugh. You made my night !

There was NO TV when I was born in 1936.
Now if you wanna talk about old-time Radio, I'm your man!

No TV in 1936 when I was born!
The "Imagination Pictures" were better on Radio!
The public was offered TV on a large commercial scale in 1947.

I can still remember him saying that. I also remember he said "You dirty rat" a lot. My Dad would crack up.
