Muffin the mule the first program I remember in UK. Have since discovered that muffin the mule is deemed illegal behaviour in some US states

I am the Cat which battled heroically on the night when the enemies of the Setting Sun were overwhelmed. And who is this Cat? This Cat is the Sun-God Ra himself... Book of the Dead

I remember a lot of those old tv shows because their all re-runs on TV Land. If your talking about when I was younger then I remember watching re-runs of "The Honeymooners", "Three Stooges", "I Love Lucy", "I Dream of Jeannie", and "Bewitched".

Hmm...let's see now....we had 7 channels in NYC....2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13, so there was a fair variety of programming.....as long as you could get the rabbit ears turned in the right direction.
Cartoons: Popeye, Woody Woodpecker, Looney Tunes, occasionally a Disney feature.
Police/Action: M Squad, Third Man, Peter Gunn, Combat, Steve Canyon, Charlie Chan.
Humor: Colonel Flack, The Three Stooges, the Honeymooners, Lucille Ball. Our Gang.
Mystery/Supernatural: Science Fiction, Twilight Zone (a late comer)
Entertainment: Your Hit Parade (Fri. PM only), Mickey Mouse Club, Superman.
Weekly Variety Shows: Ed Sullivan, Lawrence Welk, Dinah Shore. Sing Along with Mitch (ca. 1960)
Talk shows: What's My Line (weekly), Tell it to Groucho (weekly), and another weekly evening talk show whose name I don't remember, Jack Paar (nightly).
Westerns: Gunsmoke, Wyatt Earp, Cheyenne, Have Gun Will Travel, Colt 45, Tombstone Territory, Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, Death Valley Days, Bonanza.
Movies: The Late Show and The Late, Late Show on CBS.
CBS News with Ron Cochran and Walter Cronkite as anchor.
ABC News (I think) was Chet Huntley, David Brinkley, and Eric Severide.

"Sesame Street" and the soap opera "Guiding Light".

This would have been in the mid-70's. I don't remember how many channels there were, but I do remember we mostly watched K-RON, the NBC affiliate from San Francisco. (We lived in Petaluma, California.)

The TV programs I listed are from the 1957 - 1960 period.

The very early ones that I saw were about 1951, I was in the 5th grade and around 10 years old. A very strange thing is I have no memory at all of the Korean War and that bothers me because I should remember something about it.

You know houses and neighborhoods sure look a lot better with all those outside antennas. In small towns 100 miles away from the city they had big t.v. antennas on tall masts all over the place. The best ones had rotators so you could point them in the correct direction.

Wow Polander , that was really nice in the Big Apple with all of those stations I don't think we ever got that many. For years we only had 3 VHF and 4 UHF.

Thank you conservative Bush/McCain Republicans for global warming, the use of food (corn ethanol) in the gas tanks of SUV's causing famine all over the world. resulting in slow death for all life on earth. Thank you for urban sprawl, the non-stop building of new homes that no one wants, and the destruction of all farmland to build the new homes with illegal labor from south of the border that you won't protect. Thank you for trying to destroy Social Security and medical care for all Americans, great bunch of guys, oh did I mention the non stop wars to support conservative republican arms and ammunition manufactures?

@javelin.....My Family moved to NYC in 1957 when I was 15 years old. In reality, not to NYC but New Jersey, right on the shore of the Hudson River so we were closer to the stations in Manhattan than many people who actually lived in one of the boroughs of the city. We were within about two miles or so as the crow flies of most of the stations (except channel 13, I think). Our problems were that the Hudson Palisades behind our home reflected the signals and often caused ghosting and that a lot of aircraft flew over us in or outbound to La Guardia, Idlewild, or Newark and they tended to create interference.

We got a TV in about 1949 or 1950. The very early shows I remember are the Milton Berle show...and The Show of Shows staring Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca(pardon the misspellings of the names) Studio One, a weekly live drama show. Hmm..I remember watching the local news....and other locally produced shows like the wrestling matches and the Saturday night square dancing show....and some locally produced hillbilly music shows. The earliest I can remember we had two TV stations(NBC and CBS)....with ABC adding a local affiliate a few years later and an independent station..for a total of four stations for a long time, before the UHF band was opened up. As someone else said, the daily broadcast day ran from about 5PM to 10:30Pm in those days. Sometimes I would turn on the set and just look at the test pattern....I was easily amused.

No matter how cynical you get...you just can't keep up.

Let's not forget "The Little Rascals"

Having yellow fever is not a crime

there was this show - the crystal maze... dunno if anyone else knows of it...
i remember my dad waking me up in the morning on sundays so i would not miss that show...
i wish it started airing again...

There is an angel inside me whom i'm constantly shocking....

Bill and Ben

I know this is going to postdate ya...but some of the oldest shows I remember was on WPIX Channel 11 was the Magic Garden with Carole the other chick and the squirrel with the story box and stuff and on WOR channel 9 we had Romper Room and I believe that was also the station that carried Wonderama which I was on as a kid.

Sesame Street

Beneath this mask, there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask, there is an idea and ideas are bulletproof.

Sesame Street
Mr. Ed
Fury (seems like horses were pretty popular those day :lol )
some really old Disney-cartoons (very short ones,really old I think...donald duck,mickey mouse,3 little pigs etcc.)
various very funny/trashy German TV shows my grandma used to watch..
and... THE MUNSTERS!!!

Sesame Street & Astroboy. There are a pair or so more, but I don't know the original names, and I don't use to translate blindly, if you know what I mean.

"THERE'LL BE NO SHELTER HERE... THE FRONTLINE IS EVERYWHERE !!!!!!" (RATM, No shelter)

although we had a lot of different programms I can remember most of these "old" stuff like sesame street, looney tunes, bonanza, micky mouse, lassie, the munsters, most of the disney movies of the 80, etc wich were repeated a lot and watched by my mum.

If the primates that we came from had known that someday politicians would come out of the gene pool, they'd stayed up in the trees and written evolution off as a bad idea.

5-4-3-2-1! Thunderbirds are GO!!

Yes, I somewhere around '67, on a black&white TV set (with only one channel) and with Dutch voices.
My favorite was Thunderbird 3.

Freggles, Merlina, Smurfen and of course 'Allo 'Allo. But they give that back anually. ooooohhhh... and Het Huis van Wantrouwen, but i doubt many barbaforeigners ever managed to get that.

Daar is de lente, daar is de zon
bijna, maar ik denk dat ze weldra zal komen.
De fallus impudicus staat al in bloei
En de blaadjes krijgen bomen.
M'n vrouw en m'n kat zijn allebei krols
en de klokken vertrekken naar Rome

Gee, there are a few, and I guess I am really dating myself, but that is half the fun! I can remember watch Rocketship 7, Mr. Ed (I loved that show and bought some DVDs), and I remember watching a little mouse on Ed Sullivan show called Topo Gijo! he was so cute with a very humorous voice. yes and I remember the smurfs and I couldn't stand watching them.
