'53 we got our first Spartan TV, 21" B&W console. Only two stations at the time in our market, but Saturday mornings meant cartoons and then Westerns in the afternoon.

The first television set I had was in 1954.
Here is more about Dale Evans:
Once upon a time, in the town of Uvalde, Texas, there was a girl named Frances Octavia Smith. Married at 14, pregnant at 15, and abandoned at 17, she grew up to become an accomplished Big Band singer named Dale Evans.
In 1947, Dale married Roy Rogers; he became "King of the Cowboys," and she, "Queen of the West," and together the two appeared in over thirty Westerns, and on the long-running Roy Rogers & Dale Evans Show on television.
Dale wrote the song "Happy Trails" in 1950,
and Roy and Dale sang it each week to close the show.
It took Dale just one hour to write the song, one source said -
scribbled on the back of an envelope!
