Same here, I don't watch TV at all, radio is my favorite, lots of internet radio stations to listen to nowadays.I enjoyed the radio programs when I was a tyke as well. In fact, to this day I prefer radio over TV
With utmost respect, you all are discussing things that predate me by at least two decades or more. Therefore you all have earned the "Old Geezer" status. If my father were alive today, he'd be 91 and older than most of you.Wow, you guys are old !!!!!!!!
My favorite radio programs were Straight Arrow, Clyde Beatty, and the Lone Ranger. I spent hours lying on the living room floor in front of the radio "watching" those programs. I saw my first TV in the late 1940s at a neighbor, Garfield Peterson's house. It looked like an oscilloscope. Had a round screen and was in color too (green and black). That was the same day that Garfield showed me how to trim mules hooves.
The first program I remember watching on our own TV was President Eisenhower's inauguration. Those were the days my friends.
Sorry to hear that you were born about a generation too late Bruce.With utmost respect, you all are discussing things that predate me by at least two decades or more. Therefore you all have earned the "Old Geezer" status. If my father were alive today, he'd be 91 and older than most of you.
I liked the Songbird II!!!!! Rememeber the time he almost had to shoot it down with an F86?<sigh>... and my hero was Sky King.....

Yes, and attention span.....I remember "watching" Sky King and Sgt Preston on the radio. You had to have an imagination. Something severly lacking in many people today.
