I was born in Manhattan NYC in May 1954. My parents moved to Cleveland, Ohio in 1957. We also had 3 channels in black and white, the channels were 3, 5 and 8. I do remember seeing some of the shows shown here. Sky King was a good show to watch. I also watched reruns of the 1950's Highway Patrol series, and also Combat, Around 1965, some UHF channels came into use and my parents bought a receiver that let our TV receive those channels.

Renaldo was a very gracious, charming man who spoke with everyone who wanted to meet him and get his autographed photo, but Leo Carillo was a jerk, would not look at anyone, would not speak with anyone, and from a stack of his photos, would just fling the photos in the air with his fingertips--if you wanted his photo, you had to catch one before it hit the ground. ...About Guy Williams, I agree with you that he was the best Zorro in Hollywood history.

All products of the creative team at GAMMA PRODUCTIONS. In pre-FLINTSTONE days, GAMMA had a runaway hit on ABC with ROCKY and his friends. Not actually designed with kiddies in mind, the show was nine parts Cold War socio-political satire, with a sharper edge than the fare from WB. SADLY, the siren song of SATURDAY MORNING merchandising was too much for cartoon companies to ignore. Yes we loved KING LEONARDO, but it was far over the kiddies' heads. KENNY DELMAR's HUNTER was a variation of a character created by comedian ALAN YOUNG, for radio. Delmar perfected the character for FRED ALLEN's radio show. Loooong before MEL BLANC "borrowed" the , I say, the distinctive DIXIECRAT demeanor and drawl, (youall), Delmar presented SENATOR FOGBOUND to radio audiences. Cartoons and early TV gave Blanc the edge, and generations know only of FOGHORN LEGHORN. HEY,, that's showbiz!

TV shows of the 1950s didn't promote religion, certainly not fundamentalist religion with a patriarchal god. Most writers in early television promoted liberal values like social justice, tolerance, and had hidden messages about labor unions, the right to be different, to fight bigotry and racism. These writers had been through the McCarthy Red scare witchhunts and saw it as their moral duty to confront the hypocrisy and prejudice of their time. Shows of the 1980s often featured right wing themes with macho characters fighting two- dimensional villains who threatened social order.

frdjr252 I think the company was located in NJ, which is where we lived, so they must have had good distribution there. I recall that it was frequently in the shop for repairs. Once it started smoking, which scared my Mom. There were DIY vacuum tube testers in candy stores, where my dad would attempt to diagnose problems. I know at one point the repair shop installed what was probably a magnet on the CRT to improve the image. Our second was an RCA color set, from the 1960’s. Far more reliable! We also had a portable b&w TV, but I don’t recall the make.

Of course, two guys named William Hanna and Joseph Barbera would forever change all that when in 1957, after MGM closed its animation studio, they decided to branch out on their own and produce animation specifically for television starting with Ruff and Reddy which aired Saturday mornings on NBC. Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound soon followed daily, Hanna-Barbera would later hit primetime with The Flintstones and The Jetsons, and they were off to the races.
