You were lucky if you had a Davie Crockett hat to wear while watching the show. A few years later along came shows like Sergeant Bilko and ‘The Life of Riley’ with William Bendix. Before long, even a twenty-four-inch screen became too tiny.High Fidelity turned into stereophonic. Then, after antennas, came cable. Now, with internet, some of us seniors, like yours truly, technologically are totally disabled.I still miss General Electric Theatre.
Those years listening to the CBS evening news with Douglas Edwards, before Walter Cronkite. Commercials like ‘Don’t squeeze the Charmin’ and ‘It takes a licking and keeps on ticking’. Of course, shows like Ed Sullivan show, Sid Caesar’s and cast on Your Show of Shows, and the Jack Benny Program.
