I'm the same age as you. My first television experience was on a visit to my grandmother in California. TV was ten years or so away from where we lived in Texas. The show was the Buster Brown Show. I had listened to Buster Brown on the radio in the late forties, along with Space Patrol and Big John & Sparky. But seeing Froggie the Gremlin....that was a revelation.

Living in Germany in the late forties, I missed the Buster Brown radio show....but I did wear Buster Brown shoes...do you remember those?

A side note. I really believe my experience in post-war Europe helped form the strong patriot that I am today. I have vivid memories of the concentration camps I visited. Dachau, Bergen-Belsen, Auschwitz. Scary stuff for the child I was then. The images are with me still. And it still frightens me. At the time, many condemned my parents for taking me to these sites. I am convinced they did a good thing. The experience served to make me love America and our freedom more than most.
