Television

Television.... Where would we be without television? Seriously though. Did you have a tv set while you were growing up? If not, did your neighbors or friends? If you did, what were some of the shows that were on and what were your favorites?

We had a black & white tv but we weren't allowed to watch it much. We were of course allowed to watch the news as long as we were quiet. I seem to recall we were allowed to watch The Wonderful World of Disney on a Sunday night. I also remember a program called Grizzly Adams that we were allowed to watch.

Really it wasn't until I was a teenager that we were allowed to watch tv & that was because by then we had a colour one. Jo & I were allowed to watch the old black & white one on the landing while my parents watched the colour one in the family room. I do remember watching Dukes of Hazard on the b&w tv & managing to get dad to watch it on the colour tv once & it was wonderful to see it in colour.
