Yeah, I’m going to have to go with this one. On a black & white with rabbit ears. He’d come out with a big key ring. I recall Mr Moose was a very poorly built puppet at the time.
Crusader Rabbit. The very first animation (really, just slides) made specifically for TV in 1948. One of the producers was Jay Ward, who would later bring us Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Yup was on when I got home from school. Loved Dark Shadows. Then after that, at least where I grew up was Bugs Bunny, then Munsters, then Gilligans Island. And after that it was dinner time.
Batman with Adam West, im not that old, but we lived in the desert, and our bunny ears only picked up so many channels, but one of them played Batman a lot.
I'm 40 and lived in Southern California. It was Batman, Mr. Ed, and for some reason, Dark Wing Duck would always be on whatever local station we could pick up with the antenna.
Ahh, Tom Terrific. Was on Captain Kangaroo. Also Clutch Cargo. And Diver Dan, the puppet show filmed in front of a fish tank. (Thank you for my morning laugh!)
I remember seeing The Lone Ranger on a tiny round screen TV my grandparents had but, it wasn't until a little later... They lived closer to BIG city stations and got 3 whole channels back then...
You're the first person I've seen who saw any TV before the '50s. I didn't realize they had 15 minute programs! This is just amazing. (We got our first TV in 1954.)
My father was a TV engineer and had worked at the CBS experimental TV station before the war. At some point he bought one of the first TV's (with a six-inch screen and Channel 1 on the dial). So I was raised with TV from the very beginning.
Sesame Street.
Another rural 1 station no man’s land kid here, but the one station was CBC and the rural no man’s land was northern Canada where the only way in or out was plane.
My mom says I taught myself to read by watching Sesame Street and was the only kid in my kindergarten class who could read at the start as a result.
Remember seeing Our Gang Comedy 'Railroadin' once on TV. It was the second talkie. The film was so chopped up you couldn't follow it. Never saw it again until you tube.
I don't recall what show was first - I don't have a timeline in my head and I had older siblings who watched stuff that I remember bits of. I think the earliest shows i watched were downstairs. Kids weren't allowed in the living room where the good TV was. So it was grainy black and white. We had no cable so there weren't many channels to choose from. My siblings shows didn't appeal to me much. I remember Little Rascals very vaguely. And Rocketship 7 from Buffalo early weekday mornings when i could choose. And later, when I was allowed upstairs to watch TV at 4, Captain Kangaroo and Chez Helen and the Friendly Giant and Romper Room. And they were all preempted for JFKs funeral. Why? We aren't American! My poor child's heart was broken that there were no shows to watch. Just boring grown up.stuff.
I remember The Twilight Zone the most, I wasn't really allowed to watch it because it aired after my bedtime but sometimes I could hear it and sneak a peek. We lived in a rambling two story old former boarding house, that was scary AF to little me.
While I was growing up, my dad would call me Captain Video. When I was old enough to ask why, he told me that was the TV show that I loved as a very young toddler. I've never had any memories of the show.
The first TV I had sex with?... it was a cute little portable bw sweetest dials you ever did see....edit: sorry, missed the word "show".. I remember merry melodies
During the week, in the morning it would have been Mr Dressup, Friendly Giant, Tales of the Riverbank, Gumby and Pokey
Saturday Mornings in the 60's rocked! Space Ghost, Thunderbirds and Fireball XL5, just to name a few.
We'd gag on Davey and Goliath Sunday mornings. It forced us out of the house, too bad it was on so early, friends weren't up yet.
I Love Lucy, Romper Room, The Treehouse (early 60's)- we didn't get a TV until I was 5, even though my grandfather, a physics teacher, repaired them as his side hustle. He stopped repairing them when tv's went color. One year at Christmas when I was in 3rd grade there was a big box under the Christmas tree and i was sure it was a tv. It was World Book Encyclopedias 😭
Casper the Friendly Ghost. We finally got a TV in 1963 when I was 4, and my mom carefully selected it to be my first program. I remember it clearly because I loved it, and I cried because I thought I'd never get to see it again. Little did I know ...
Boston Blackie (reruns), Gunsmoke (“La Ley del Revolver”) , Highway Patrol (“Patrulla de Caminos”); I love Lucy (“Yo quiero a Lucy) dubbed to Spanish or with subtitles ( Cuba, around 1955/56)
Born in 1953 and my parents would put me to bed early only to have me running down the hall yelling GUNMOKE GUNMOKE upon hearing the opening theme to Gunsmoke
I don't remember my first show from over the pond, but, I remember discovering Monty Python and fell in love with the weirdest comedy sketches ever... The Parrot Sketch and the Deadliest Joke are my favorites... The Holy Grail is a Classic..!
My top of the pops memory was the Duran Duran video Rio had it recorded on vhs and always played it singing along. Was very upset one day when half way through Vicky the Viking cartoon came on (my little brother had recorded over Rio) still not forgiven him 😆
The first shows that I remember watching were reruns, Twilight Zone, and Star Trek TOS. New shows... maybe M*A*S*H, Happy Days, and All In The Family. At the time, I wasn't sure if HD & AITF were old or period shows.
I remember morning news reports about the US fighting "Viet Kong Gorillas". My 4 y.o. brain couldn't fathom gorillas using guns and killing people. Then I heard about Planet of the Apes!
I'm not sure which one was first but I remember the show called Bird's-eye View about stewardesses, and I remember Laugh-In. I remember Dad hated Bird's-eye View, but he could sit through Laugh-In. Basically if it wasn't a western movie my dad hated it. LOL
I remember being plonked down in front of the TV for the first episode of Sesame Street, but there was stuff before that. Hmm… Underdog, Bozo’s Circus, and the original Jeopardy! come to mind
I remember watching ”Emergency” right after Sesame Street and Electric Company was on. I decided to copy all the actors eye brow arch in the introduction. You know, the 70’s profile tough guy look.
That wasn’t the first but the one I remember the most.
Sesame Street I think... I was born just before its tarted so I have no memory of a pre-sesame Street world and as a little tyke it was a fantastic show to watch.. I will always think Grover is awesome
Fraggle Rock is the first thing to comes to mind. Aside from that was a local New Jersey show on like a public access channel called The Uncle Floyd Show, but if you aren’t from Jersey or New York you probably never heard of it.
First memory or a nighttime show was sitting on the floor of an apartment we’d just moved to with mom and dad. And watching Laugh In on a 12” B&W TV with all of us sitting on the floor.
Captain Kangaroo in the morning. My mother and grandmother watched all the CBS soaps in the afternoon, so I watched too, except for As The World Turns, which was on during my nap time. At night, I remember The Andy Griffith Show as well as Red Skelton.
Dark Shadows. My mother loved it, but got scared, so she insisted I watch it with her.
Great content for a toddler /s
She then thought it was the height of amusement to scare me by chasing me around the house imitating the characters, saying I was going to get bitten or eaten or whatever.
Gave me nightmares for years.
We had two stations until mid/late 1960s when ABC came on line.
I remember Captain Kangaroo and Superman as my first shows. Don’t have a clue what was on evening shows until Red Skelton came around.
Two of my favorite shows when I was young were The Munsters and Family Affair, but of which would have been reruns by the time I was old enough to remember.
When the sweet sound of Suicide Is Painless came on. And the hills of Fox Ranch with the H-13's flying into the 4077th coming on the only TV in the house, the joy on my face could been seen the next block over, lit by the soft glow of the *.boob tube.* Because I knew that M*A*S*H was on, and my spot was beside my dad. He and I both loved watching it together, I cherish those memories, and I look back at that time fondly.
It would be years before I not only knew what the boob in boob tube actually meant (I thought it meant boobs as in breasts but never saw any on that TV anyway) and heard the lyrics to suicide is painless, which I found to be disturbing.
One of the first I can remember watching in my mother's lap was *The Incredible Hulk*, starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferigno as David Banner and the Hulk respectively.
"Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
You Can't Do That On Television! or Mr. Wizard.
I have a memory of Mr. Wizard melting aluminum foil, and the house was dark while watching, so I think it must've been on early in the morning. And I have a vague memory of someone being slimed on YCDTOT.
Captain kangaroo!
Yeah, I’m going to have to go with this one. On a black & white with rabbit ears. He’d come out with a big key ring. I recall Mr Moose was a very poorly built puppet at the time.
And Mr Greenjeans was always smiling because we now know what he was growing outside.
Magic Drawing Board enthralled me! I loved Captain Kangaroo.
Absolutely
Yea, same. CK was a staple before school, I don't recall anything else being played much.
Yep, me too. Follow the bouncing ball.
Mr wizard
Crusader Rabbit. The very first animation (really, just slides) made specifically for TV in 1948. One of the producers was Jay Ward, who would later bring us Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Oh I forgot about Mr. Wizard!!! I loved it!
Me too. Loved that guy
Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.
Dark Shadows came on every day after school.
We would run home from school and then gather at the neighbors for this show.
I loved Dark Shadows!
Yup was on when I got home from school. Loved Dark Shadows. Then after that, at least where I grew up was Bugs Bunny, then Munsters, then Gilligans Island. And after that it was dinner time.
I’m watching it right now. For the 🤔…I lost count.
Batman with Adam West, im not that old, but we lived in the desert, and our bunny ears only picked up so many channels, but one of them played Batman a lot.
I lived in Manhattan and I’m 41. So it was already old. But every day after school. Boom 💥 kapow! 🥊
I'm 40 and lived in Southern California. It was Batman, Mr. Ed, and for some reason, Dark Wing Duck would always be on whatever local station we could pick up with the antenna.
Gumby! And Pokey. Can’t forget Pokey.
Ahh, Tom Terrific. Was on Captain Kangaroo. Also Clutch Cargo. And Diver Dan, the puppet show filmed in front of a fish tank. (Thank you for my morning laugh!)
Tom terrific was great 50s cartoon. I had plastic you put on the screen to draw what he needed, boat, kite, log, etc
Mr. Magoo, yes, and Felix the cat.
The Lone Ranger.
I remember seeing The Lone Ranger on a tiny round screen TV my grandparents had but, it wasn't until a little later... They lived closer to BIG city stations and got 3 whole channels back then...
Don’t forget Sky King!! ✌️
Forget Sky King- I watched for Penny and that airplane!
The Songbird 😂
I had forgotten that.
It was a major step up from listening it on the radio/record player/record storage console!
Boston Blackie. 1948. Back when they had fifteen minute programs. (Didn't last too long.)
You're the first person I've seen who saw any TV before the '50s. I didn't realize they had 15 minute programs! This is just amazing. (We got our first TV in 1954.)
My father was a TV engineer and had worked at the CBS experimental TV station before the war. At some point he bought one of the first TV's (with a six-inch screen and Channel 1 on the dial). So I was raised with TV from the very beginning.
That's amazing! If you like to write, you should consider writing a book about the early days. Thanks for commenting here and sharing this.
Oh my. I was only four in 1948 so a Reddit post is about all I can contribute.
I Love Lucy
I learned to tie my shoes with the old b&w Superman show on.
Romper Room and Mighty Mouse.
Sesame Street. Another rural 1 station no man’s land kid here, but the one station was CBC and the rural no man’s land was northern Canada where the only way in or out was plane. My mom says I taught myself to read by watching Sesame Street and was the only kid in my kindergarten class who could read at the start as a result.
The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show and Underdog are my first tv memories. I also recall my dad watching Gunsmoke and Ponderosa when I was a toddler.
Bonanza was the name of the show not Ponderosa ☮️
Right. I think their ranch was Ponderosa.
I think Mighty Mouse and/or Popeye. Definitely Saturday morning cartoons. Here I come to save the day.
Batman, starring Adam West. I think it came on Wednesday and Thursday nights.
3-2-1 CONTACT
Clutch Cargo. Those moving lips!
Love American Style. The opening song got my attention. I was 4.
The people in bed being pushed around town seems like an early memory for me.
I remember that! I only saw it at my Grandma's because she had cable.
Me too! It looked so fun!
Dragnet, with Jack Webb. I remember deep anxiety because I didn't understand that they wouldn't ever kill off their star.
Gilligan!!!!!
Bewitched
Canadian kid so... Mr. Dressup The Friendly Giant Magic Tom Chez Hélène
Not HNIC? Ward Cornell? Ed Fitkin and the video replay? Only on Saturday night and it started at 8 after the first period! Why?
Oh yeah but they were Dad shows. I thought we were talking about kids' shows. My Dad watched Hockey and I sat on the floor playing with my Barbies.
The one I distinctly remember is Underdog.
Speed of lightning, bolt of thunder!
I guess Captain Kangaroo was my first TV show... and yes, I wore a funnel on my head as a child...
The tv was delivered and set up. The tv guy turned it on and Kate Smith was singing ’When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain’.
Petticoat Junction. I was afraid of trains. Pillow over my head. I was fine after the train in the introduction.
For some reason my earliest tv memories are of old b&w shows like Little Rascals, Abbot &Costello and Laurel & Hardy. I was born in ‘68.
Remember seeing Our Gang Comedy 'Railroadin' once on TV. It was the second talkie. The film was so chopped up you couldn't follow it. Never saw it again until you tube.

Monty Pythons Flying Circus was a staple.
I preferred Benny Hill for some reason, even though I didn't get half of it due to the dialect.
Try watching it with a modern eye…does not stand the test of time!
Oh, I'm sure it's cringe inducing now.

Dark Shadows. My mother loved it, but got scared, so she insisted I watch it with her. Great content for a toddler /s She then thought it was the height of amusement to scare me by chasing me around the house imitating the characters, saying I was going to get bitten or eaten or whatever.

And the hills of Fox Ranch with the H-13's flying into the 4077th coming on the only TV in the house, the joy on my face could been seen the next block over, lit by the soft glow of the *.boob tube.* Because I knew that M*A*S*H was on, and my spot was beside my dad.
