the only night I could stay up until 9:00. Always sat up with my
dad and watched "Red Skeleton"----what wonderful memories.

| 6. My parents would let me watch it saying it was an "Adult" cartoon. |
|
The same with Top Cat.
That really pissed me off.

To Tell The Truth, I've Got A Secret, The Price Is Right (the original version with Bill Cullen!), Donna Reed, and Ed Sullivan.
Edit: And The Twilight Zone! And Alfred Hitchcock!

| 8. And look at what else was on: |
|
East Side/West Side--drama about social workers starring George C. Scott and Diana Sands (controversial for casting a black woman who wore an Afro!)
Outer Limits
Intelligent variety shows: Garry Moore, The Bell Telephone Hour, Judy Garland
The Eleventh Hour--drama about psychiatrists
Ben Casey, The Nurses, Dr. Kildare--medical dramas with more emphasis on human relationships than on saying "Adrenaline, STAT!"
Friday night--Route 66, followed by the Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock
Jack Paar--talk show that wasn't afraid to feature highbrow guests
The Defenders--father and son lawyers who tackled contemporary issues
Maybe I'm just looking at this schedule through rose-colored glasses and the perceptions of a 14-year-old, but TV was smarter in those days, and Newton Minow, chairman of the FCC, still referred to it as "a vast wasteland." I wonder what he'd say in this era of "200 channels and nothing worth watching."
