We bought our first 17 inch black and white TV when I was 6 years old because I was spending too much time next door at the neighbor's house where there was another 6 year old boy who was a friend of mine then. Before this I listened to Fibber McGee and Molly and Gildersleave on Radio with my grandmother when my parents were off at church on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights during the week. But, after we got our TV in 1954 I stopped listening to radio programs because TV was more interesting to me, especially Superman with Steve Reeves and Cowboy shows like Gunsmoke and Rifleman and Wyatt Earp and Jim Bowie and Maverick and others. My favorite program was always "The Wonderful World of Disney" or whatever they called it through those years maybe like "Disneyland" or other names for the Disney shows on TV. I liked Davey Crocket and had an outfit with a coonskin cap and a flintlock play rifle too then at age 6 when we lived in Tujunga and I went to Pinewood School for 1st and 2nd grade then in Tujunga, which is up against the Angeles National Forest mountains there in Los Angeles County.
Around 1960 or 1962 we finally bought a color TV so we could watch the Virginian and Bonanza on TV which had really good color. Eventually, we also watched Star Trek and other things that were wonderful in color too like the Carol Burnett Show and other things.
