If you remember this...
you will want to read on! I remember it, and find 50s and 60s TV inspired memorabilia impossible to pass by. For me, it's such a nostalgic trip, that it triggers important moments in my life. I remember well our first TV. How exciting that was! My dad brought it home, and we had a family gathering in which he and my mother laid down the television watching rules, and then it was time for the plugging in! Suddenly, there before our eyes were Howdy Doody and Princess Summerfall Winterspring! Our lives would never be the same.
Of course, close on the TV's heels was our first issue of
Advertising became the name of the game, so we soon found ourselves wanting all the marvelous gadgets we saw -- and we bought them.
We waited with great anticipation, the new episode of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans
and cooked our meals from new products,
ate from TV trays,
and saved the leftovers in a New and Improved way.
Those were the good ole' days...or, were they?

Outstanding Betty! Nice post that does remind me of those "Good Ole Days"! Love it!
You brought back some good memories, Betty! So happy you shared this with us.
I was more of a product of the 60's Betty but you made me think of the advertising in comic books. I remember saving my money and ordering "sea monkeys" you grow at home :o)
Great post Betty!
I remember our first TV too, it was amazing! Like magic to our eyes. Fuzzy pictures - dad called it snow. Aluminum foil on the rabbit ears.
Captain Kangaroo and watching boxing with my dad on Friday nights.
Thank you for bringing back those great simpler time memories.

Fantastic blog Betty!
I don't really remember our first t.v. but I do remember we had a black and white in a huge box and tiny screen. We watched almost all the same shows along with Combat and others like that.
Vintage is all about the memories from anyone's era.
