I remember the world before t.v. too. Mom used to listen to "The Guiding Light" every day. And of course Dad and my brothers always had to listen to the Red Sox baseball games.

I was about 7 or 8 when we got the first t.v. Dad's favorites were Victory at Sea, the Jack Benny Show, Art Linkletter, and Ed Sullivan. I can't really remember what early shows I watched other than American Bandstand when I was a little older.

Remember when stations went off the air for the day - you got the test pattern.

Do any remember what car your parents had? My first real memory was of a blue Kaiser Frazer sedan, but there was another before that - looked like an old Model T from pics I have, but just a very vague memory of that one.
