I pine for that time of *innocence.*
Reminds me of my dad, who was a brilliant inventor and engineer....when teevees first came out, he wouldn’t succumb to buy one for the family, b/c as he said, *I’m not sure they will catch on*. As a kid, I had to go to a neighbor’s house to watch those cool shows. I swear, we are the *last* people in our town to get a TV. ;)
Perry Mason, Twilight, Lucy, Ed Sullivan, Leave It to Beaver, You Bet Your Life...and all the rest. {{{sigh}}}

My husband lived in Bellflower during and after WWII, and he and his friends would walk over to Bellflower Bl. to watch TV in the appliance store window when it first came out. I still remember going over to my sister’s house to see the NBC Peacock in all of its blazing color for the first time, and to see Bonanza. Didn’t take much to be thrilled by such things in those days.
