When I was very young I loved watching Shirley Temple. It obviously impacted my life. My kids tease me; to this day, I say "Oh my Goodness", one of her lines.
I also loved watching Heidi. I'm not sure if either is available to watch these days.

Ahh....The Little Rascals or was it Spanky and Our Gang? I loved the show!! Although I thought Alfalfa was annoying.

Another one I watched and loved. They just don't make good, clean, wholesome wonderful shows anymore. Far from it.

In looking back, I liked just about anything my parents would let me stay up and watch. The only show I really couldn't stand was "I Love Lucy".
I was young and the Twilight Show and Alfred Hitchcock creeped me out.

I have heard ... that once upon a time ... all televisions were black and white. I guess this must be true.
And if you sit too close to the TV it would cook your brain with radiation. And all TV shut off at midnight.
Everybody smokes. No car seats for infants. No seat belts. Cars that max at 150mph.
Drinking in the morning and at lunch and for dinner. I'm surprised you guys are still alive. You are the few and the lucky. Just living through all that makes you all supermen - person - undesignated gender classification.

It is a wonder we survived eating real food like eggs, bacon, sausage, whole milk, lots of red meat, butter and fried our food.

My first exposure to music. I was in a crib and could not walk. My father played this album all the time. It is a recessive memory for me. Could not tell you about the song or anything about anything. But I remember this song.

Exactly!
Remember back when they decided that smoking would no longer be allowed on shows and commercials? Funny how you won't find smoking on shows but you will find nudity, vulgarity, swearing and extreme violence.

@mystery-ak @Elderberry just think how fortunate we are to have grown up in such times. We were free, believed in patriotism, God was still in our schools, most people went to church on Sundays and life was simple.

Even though my father worked in TV broadcasting, I don't remember watching much TV until I was 9 or 10. As he was with an NBC affiliate at that time, we pretty much watched only NBC shows. I felt a certain brand loyalty was in order. My father and I watched AFL football together and became great fans of Jack Kemp.
I do recall that the first family on our block to get a color TV in the early 60s was the McCartneys, so we all traipsed down to their house to watch Shari Lewis. It was sublime.
I also remember when I was 5, we moved to NJ and hadn't even unpacked all the boxes when a chicken pot pie my mother was removing from the oven flipped over and landed on my hand. It hurt, but really not too bad (even though it turned out to be second degree burns). Nevertheless, I looked so pathetic, my mother let me watch Soupy Sales while everyone else finished dinner. She felt so bad but was frazzled trying to get everything settled from the move.
I distinctly remember lying on the floor, looking at my reddened hand, and watching Soupy Sales sing, "Cheese and Crackers."

This walk down memory lane was so fun. I actually still watch some of these shows in reruns.
It was a much simpler time.

Didn't Soupy Sales have a white hairy creature on his show or was that on some other show? Maybe I'm thinking of another show @mountaineer

It was driving me crazy trying to remember so I did a google search ---
I was thinking of another puppet -- "White Fang"
Clyde Adler, the show's floor manager and a film editor at Detroit's WXYZ, performed in sketches and voiced and operated all puppets on Sales' show in Detroit in the 1950s and in Los Angeles from 1959 to 1962, as well as in 1978. Actor Frank Nastasi, who played the part of Gramps on WXYZ-TV's other kids' show Wixie Wonderland, assumed the role of straight man and puppeteer when Sales took the show to New York from 1964 to 1966. Nastasi was originally from Detroit and had worked with Sales at WXYZ. Appearing on the show were both puppets and live performers.[citation needed]
The puppets were:
White Fang, "The Biggest and Meanest Dog in the USA", who appeared only as a giant white shaggy paw with black triangular felt "claws", jutting out from the corner of the screen. Fang spoke with unintelligible short grunts and growls, which Soupy repeated back in English, for comic effect. White Fang was often the pie thrower when Soupy's jokes bombed.
Pookie was the Lion.....

I don't think you're that much older than I am, it may be we weren't allowed to watch Howdy Doody or it came on when we weren't allowed in the house. Who knows. My mother had some odd rules - we weren't allowed in the living room for the most part and that's where the tv was.
We weren't allowed to read comic books or wear tennis shoes either. (Those were my Dad's rules).
But .... I did drink from the hose (yep, the germs) ... lol

It is unfortunate that his life took a downward spiral.
Long after his days of portraying Lil Injin he stared in a TV show. Can't remember the name but the theme song had the words "If yo9u can't do the time don't do the crime". He should have heeded those words.
Edit to add: I just remembered the name of that show (I think) It was Barretta IIRC.

We used to watch that in Spanish-dubbed reruns when we lived in Mexico City. It was very strange hearing the English-language original after growing up on the Spanish version.

I consider myself lucky.
I too grew up with no cable and only three networks—but at least up through most of elementary school, they still used to show the old classic cartoons like The Flintstones, Rocky and Bullwinkle and Underdog over-the-air (and some classic reruns like Andy Griffith and I Love Lucy). The other big genre I watched a lot of was game shows, though this was toward the end of the daytime game show era. The Price Is Right, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, Family Feud. I watched the news, too, though most of the only things that got my attention was the weather (it was enough to inspire me to pursue meteorology as a career).
Then in the mid-1990s, everything pretty much died. For a while, I had a TV in my room (my parents thought it made a nice nightlight) and could maneuver the antenna to pick up some of the UHF signals, and occasionally some of the stations out of Canada. We had satellite TV for about a year in the mid-1990s, but I think my parents got so sick of us watching Nickelodeon all the time that they gave it up. (I did find a couple more game shows, particularly Supermarket Sweep, which even after we gave up the satellite, I'd go watch it with my grandmother who had cable).

Not to be a killjoy but that is an unfortunate hoax.
They do have names but they're nothing more than the letters they resemble: O, I, J, L, S, Z and T.

This is funny and shows you how times have changed...My best buddy and I were downtown Belleville, Il and who did we just about bump into... William Schallert...Patty Duke's tv dad..he gave us his autograph and told us he was heading into the Drug store to send a telegram...he was filming In The Heat Of The Night in nearby Sparta, Il..it was so cool!...at least at the time...lol

You left off Wrestling! @mystery-ak EVERY Friday night whether you liked it or not it was Pepper Gomez, Bull Curry, Paul Boesch, ... seemingly trying to kill one another!
Fact is that wrestling was the very first thing I ever saw on a TV set.

Funny you should mention that...If I went to my Grandma's for the weekend, which I did a lot...that's what we watched..she loved it....If I remember correctly it was on KPLR out of St Louis...which was a local independent station.
-
In looking back, I liked just about anything my parents would let me stay up and watch. The only show I really couldn't stand was "I Love Lucy".
I was young and the Twilight Show and Alfred Hitchcock creeped me out.
You guys are about two or three years older than me I guess. Those shows were almost off the air when I was born or was a baby.
But I sure like them now

Our closest neighbor lived about one-fourth mile from us and was the first to get a TV set. On Friday nights people would be standing outside watching wrestling through the windows.
Same family owned the country store right next to their house. Friday nights were big business for them!

I vaguely remember a show called “Winky Dink” on Saturday mornings.
I only remember this show because you were supposed to put a “magic screen” over your TV and then you colored on top of it.
I colored on the tv without the magic screen and my crayons made a mess.

Growing up there was a kid on my street who's dad took him to wrestling every week. He would then show us the moves. We did a lot of wrestling. Later I watched several times at the coliseum. And when I finally bought a house, turns out Paul Boesch had lived in our neighborhood. My oldest son was on the HS Varsity Wrestling Team all 4 years. When he graduated he and 4 other wrestlers all joined the Navy.

We had "Studio Wrestling" in Pittsburgh, hosted by "Chilly Billy" Cardille. Baseball great Pie Traynor would show up to do commercials for a plumbing company (the catchphrase, "Who can? Ameri-can!"). Each match featured a bad guy and a good guy, but Bruno Sammartino was always the good guy. There was a studio audience, and everyone in town knew one loudmouth fan, Ringside Rosie.
