Lord! Superman! Daddy just groaned when that came on and Mother would tell him to hush. LOL! I don't remember Range Rider at all. That must have been a flash in the pan. Ted Mack. Don't remember that either. Guy Madison! Wow! I haven't heard his name in years! Oh I just loved Red Skelton! Sky King - I forgot all about that show on purpose. LOL. Mostly the TV was guarded by Daddy. What ever HE wanted to watch.

If Clark Kent was around today he'd be looking for another job just like me. But how you gonna be around all the action when you're just an internet blogger?
CBS, which aired "The Red Skelton Show", broadcast in color in 1951...CBS/Columbia also sold color TV sets briefly in 1951-52 that utilized a spinning color wheel to produce color. Few of the CBS/Columbia color TV's were sold, and were discontinued, as well as CBS' limited color broadcasting, which was not compatible with the all-electronic color broadcast system (that would become the NTSC standard) by RCA/NBC and introduced in 1954. CBS would be the last network to go all-color, by 1966.
So there really was a Range Rider. And I thought that was a folk hero that was written just for the character of Mad Murdock on the A-Team.

1951 programs? This is AWESOME.

quibble 1: No color tv shows on air in '51. Long story but read "The Great Audience."
quibble 2: Sky King flew a T-50 Bobcat in 1951. He got the Cessna 310 in 1955.
