Watching Mr. Dressup and Mr. Rogers in the morning followed by Ducktales, Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, Tailspin, Peter Pan & The Pirates and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the afternoon.
The very earliest memory I have is of a huge piece of furniture with a (maybe) 10" TV screen and someone reading the comics on air on Sunday mornings! This is going WAAAAAY back! :LOL
I can remember when Captain Kangaroo first came on. I can also remember watching the Howdy Doody show back in the 50s. I can't recall my earliest TV memory.
Very first? My uncle was an appliances/radio sales rep, and he bought the first TV in the entire family. We were all invited to come see the wonder (I think he expected to sell TV sets to us all), and we sat on chairs, on the floor, anywhere we could fit in, and watched some flickering pictures, I have no idea what it was. I was tiny. My dad had told me that people get sick to their stomachs from watching TV, so I sat there expecting to get sick. I probably managed to feel somewhat nauseous.
Soon after, my aunt bought a TV (from her cousin, my uncle), and since she lived practically next door to us, I got to watch kids' shows over at her place. I had my own little TV ottoman! We had a local kiddie circus show, and I knew all the songs...
A few years later we got our own TV (not from my uncle. His TVs turned out to have problems. ). My first obsession was Rawhide...
CHiPs. My brother and I were very young, but we remember watching that show. I also remember that if we got to stay up late on the weekends, we would see the TV station sign-off and that color bar test pattern would come on the screen with that loud noise. It always scared me as a kid! LOL
