When you were a kid tv shows you miss.

Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, Superman, Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, 77 Sunset Strip, Leave it to Beaver, I Love Lucy, Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel
 

We used to listen to Hopalong Cassidy on the radio in early 50s before we had TV.

I remember listening to the radio and staring into the dial, pretending it was TV. I guess I was about 8 or 9 when my father brought home a TV.

Lone Ranger
Captain Video and his Video Rangers
Hopalong Cassidy
Kukla, Fran, and Ollie
Super Circus (mostly to ogle that blond Mary Hartline)
Froggy the Gremlin, (can't remember the title of the show).

Ah, another fan of Cozi, Antenna tv and METV??

I used to enjoy

Top Cat cartoon,

Tweety & Sylvester

The Man from Uncle (which made me want to be a spy until I learned about torture).

Dick Van Dyke which I still watch

Get Smart

All in the Family which is too politically incorrect even for oldie tv stations it seems.

Johnny Quest which was the first tv show I ever saw in color!

Rowan & Martin's Laugh-in.

The Big Valley, because you've gotta have at least one Western and I loved that one. Barbara's Stanwyck's superb acting and a houseful of good looking kids made this my all time fav..
 
When I was a kid, They didn't have TV. I don't know why I felt the need, but I remember staring at the dial on the radio, while listening to the radio.
 
I just thought of a funny one when we first got TV. Captain Video was on. The story called for them to take a shuttle rocket between two ships. Well the "technology" consisted of a cardboard cut out moving magnetically across a board. Just as the shuttle reached the other ship, its nose suddenly swiveled straight down, and it fell off the board! Lol! Of course the actors appeared on board in the next live scene. They must have leaped out at the last minute! Live TV was great.

I remember when my mother told us that they didn't have tv when she was a kid we asked her what she did with her time! She burst out laughing. I believe her reply was read, play, listen to the radio.

You're still a kid. :) Hawkeye was a great show. I watched it as an adult It interpreted the book and period way better than that pyrotechnic Hollywood version.
 
I would watch:

Captain Kangaroo
Howdy Doody
The Popeye Club

and then later on I would watch American Bandstand.

LOL...I'm 60 years old...not that I'm complaining about being called a kid, but exactly how old do you have to be before people stop calling you a kid? :p

Depends on who'se calling you a kid. On the flip side of the coin, I remember the first time I was called "sir" by some sweet young thing I was training at work. Suddenly occurred to me that I could have been her father!

Oh "Your Show of Shows". Yes! They were the best Sid with his made up German, and Imogene with the most mobile face I've ever seen. Let's stick Steve Allen in here too.

Does anyone remember the program "Rinky-Dink"? You sent away for a piece of transparent plastic that you stuck on the screen and some special markers. Then you traced the shape of an animal's face they showed on tv. The lines went away and all you had was your rendition of the animal and a mouth on the tv set that talked.QUOTE]

I remember it, or at least drawing on the tv with the clear plastic overlay. I just thought it was pretty cool drawing on the furniture, but that was a loooonnnngggggg time ago. Chicago area, 1955ish??? You could almost say it was the first inter-active video activity ever. My dad was one of those guys who always had to have the first new gadget on the block. So of course we had one of the first TV's ever and boy were we popular.

My sister, younger than me by eighteen years, loved that show. She used to watch it all the time with my wife between their notorious games of Candy Land.
