What was your favorite show/performer and what scenes/skits do you remember vividly?
A friend of mine reminds me of Gracie Allen. George Burns used to say that all he had to do was ask Gracie, "How is your uncle Harry", and Gracie would be on, for a half an hour.

We had one of the first televisions in Omaha. My dad and his brother owned a tavern and when they bought a TV for the business they each bought one for their homes in 1948. Some of the first shows I remember were Kukla Fran, and Ollie, The Squirrel Cage (local kids show hosted by a young Johnnie Carson) and because my family were huge boxing fans, the Wednesday Night and Friday Night Fights. Your Show of Shows, Milton Berle, and the Ed Wynn shows were faves in the early fifties.
