Stopped watching TV in 1958, when I realized all the programming & commercials were completely fraudulent.

Still have two treasured possessions:

Captain Video glow-in-the-dark white plastic belt with secret decoder ring on the back of the rocket-shaped belt buckle, and unofficial plastic screen overlay upon which to draw ropes & ladders to help Winky-Dink pull himself out of trouble.

Unofficial since it's a square of plastic wrap ripped from a standard roll. Couldn't afford 25 cents for the official one, back in 1956.
