     it would have to be some country music program  ( grand old opera mid west hayride like those )  as that's all my dad would watch oh  and westerns but only one time he said he  if he already seen it and once was enough for any movie 
    as for when I got to choose . I would guess Saturday morning cartoons and westerns Roy rogers , rin tin tin and the like  and  of course Sunday night ( well 7:00 pm )  Walt Disney  fond memories .. 
     growing up never one minute of TV was "wasted"  per my dad on any sports program so I grew up  odd man out when it comes to any sport conversations . even now I do not know crap about them .

    And having to have someone behind the TV to keep adjusting the vertical & horizonal hold knobs. What a big deal it was when the GIANT 16" screens arrived. First shows I remember are Candid Camera & Jerry Lester (Well really Dagmar on the show)

    The full series plus the original introduction of the cast members on the show. Give it about 3 seconds to start up when you click it on.

    Amos and Andy.  Granny's radio would pull in almost any station on east coast from Central, Va. Big huge heavy battery about 1.5 feet long with vaccum tubes. Antennae was large twisted solid copper wire with ceramic insulator on each end about 50 feet long. WWVA  in wheeling my favorite.

    I remember the Flintstones airing @ 'Prime time' in black and white.  It was past my bedtime and my folks would wake me up with their laughter.  Eventually my folks let me 'stay up' to watch it with them.  It must have been on  @ 8 pm.  1960 and I was 3yo.   I remember at the end of the show when the cat puts Fred outside, the 'camera' pulled back to show all of Bedrock.  Odd what one remembers.

    I was a big Zorro fan!  Sword buckling adventure where fat Sgt. Garcia always got a Z tattoo!   Made for good outside play adventures with my many brothers!   Willow branches could be fashioned into both swords, whips, and fishing poles for a kid who was poor and never knew it! :)
