Once or twice a month, NHK would run an American or UK movie undubbed on a Sunday afternoon. Traffic at the PX complex was slashed by half...it was like a special holiday for us back in the 1950s.

Interesting. So you lost contact with American culture in those days. But my wife would tell me that famous show like Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie were standard fare — though in Japanese.
