It's hard to remember. I do remember watching Lassie, and Bonanza back in the late 60's. I also remember the Ed Sullivan show on tv though I never paid attention to it much.

THE HOWDY DOODY SHOW (circa 1953 or 1954). Back then, it was a big
event when someone in the neighborhood bought a television set. The
screen was probably very small ... but then so was I!

I remember watching the last season or two of Three's Company. I also remember watching The Golden Girls when I was visiting with my grandparents in the mid-80s.

Romper Room for me too and I also remember watching Sesame Street when I was very little, the Electric Company, Zoom, Jonny Quest, and H.R. Pufenstuf. I was scared of that talking flute though.

Not counting cartoons (The Flintstones, Tom & Jerry) and children shows (Reading Rainbow) the first show I ever watched was Charles In Charge in 1984 when I was 8 years old.
