I was born in 1949 and my parents had a tv before I was born.
They may have been around but not very common place. We did not get our first TV until the mid 60's

Regular network broadcasting began in the United States in 1946, and television became common in American homes by the middle 1950s.
That's pretty cool. I did not know TV went back to the 1940s.

My Dad had a TV from the 40's that I inherited. With a massive cabinet and a small round screen, it must have been one of the first TVs you could buy. I remember my Dad telling me that the Dumont Network broadcast a big band concert from the top of the Shorham Hotel in Washington D.C., and that was about the only thing on back then.
