I watched in the 1950s: the Donna Reed Show: George Burns and Gracie Allen show: The Lone Ranger and many more shows on TV then.

I also watched "Have Gun Will Travel": Maverick: The Rifleman: The Colgate Comedy Hour: The Mickey Mouse Club: But, Superman was the first TV show I really loved that I watched with my friend Danny Barsocks and his sister and their dog in El Cajon, California near San Diego. This was my first love of a program on TV. I had seen the REpublican Convention in 1952 where Eisenhower was nominated on my Grandfather's big Black and White TV in SEattle. But, I was 4 then and couldn't believe Black and White TV was even available then at age 4. But, by age 5 and 6 I had fallen in love with the show Superman so I watched this show as long as it was on TV from 1953 on there in El Cajon when I was 5. It was on from (1952 to 1958). I also watched Perry Mason and the Untouchables and many other shows including Twilight Zone when it came on too. and also Dennis the Menace and I met boys somewhat like Dennis the Menace but I wasn't like that at all as a child. I was more of a risk taker on my bicycle and going to building sites and jumping off of 2 story buildings into the edge of sand piles used for making cement then after all the workmen left for the day with my friends.
