Sadly, I knew all of them! But one small correction. Red Skelton always said MAY GOD bless. When asked about it, he stated "you shouldn't tell GOD what to do!". Cool list, though! Brought back a lot of memories. It als makes me feel older!

 YUP!  I knew MOST of them, but then we only had CBS TV. No NBC, or ABC.

I GOT THEM ALL RIGHT ALSO, FUNNY, BUT I DON'T REMEMMBER WHAT I HAD FOR LUNCH YESTERDAY

Got them all but lucky strike.  I was a camel man at the time. of course I'm 5 years past 60.

How did the younger guys do? 

The big question is were you when you saw your first TV program. 

I bet there are a lot out there that do not remember the color sheet they sold that started out brown on the bottom and was blue on the top so you could put it on your TV and watch color programs.  Any other families own one?

Yes I know that everyone under 50 will not have the slightest idea what I'm talking about.

He said..."We can't ask God to bless us...we can only ask that he MAY..."

Joel is right.

I knew them all too and I am ONLY 56.  I grew up on a farm in minnesota, but the house was up on a hill, so we were lucky.  We got ABC, CBS, NBC and an independant out of minneapolis....Norsky might remember...WTCN, chanel 11.
