TV When I Was A Kid

I went through grade school without an official television set in our home. My brother, who liked to tinker and had electrical aptitude, got a black and white TV in the basement to work. It lacked a back, had only three channels, and fuzzy reception, but we relished the illicit pleasure of this one eyed monster. And so, on occasion, he and I would watch some shows-- not many-- but enough to have somehow etched some fondly permanent memories. Here are a few shows that I remember from that time, roughly between 1966 and 1968.
Adam-12

Lost in Space

Sea Hunt

Sally Starr Show

Batman



I got my first TV set when I was in my early 20s and living in an apartment. One day, the tube burned out. As I was on the fourth floor, and not wanting to take it into to the dumpster below on a snowy day, I put it outside my apartment with a sign on it-- "For Sale $50." And, sure enough, someone stole it.
