OK fellow brats put your thinking caps on. ..We (Murphy's) had a TV set by around 1954. Chuckle. We ran a antenna wire from the living room and up to bedroom and the siding flashing on the outside of the PMQ to gain better reception. ...There were many very good sitcoms to come out of the '50's. ...in about a half hour or so of spinning the wheels in my brain I remembered 19. Without cheating by using the Internet. I was accurat with the names except for one or two that had a couple names for the show. These were all comedies. So on with the challenge. See if you can top my list. Well my count I mean. Just for fun 'ya know. I am sure you will have fun with it. A variety show or the like would count although I used only sitcoms. Have fun. Remember now. No peeking. For example there was December Bride using a wonderful character actor who became Col. Potter on Mash, years later.

Hi "Bump",
You don't know me - but I always check into the
"Guestbook". 19 eh? I AM impressed. I certainly
can't even match that let alone top it. Did you get:
Father Knows Best, I Love Lucy, Our Miss Brooks, The Ted
Mack National Amateur Hour, Ozzie and Harriet, The
Honeymooners, Hazel (I think), (not sure of the name
of the show - but-) George Burns and Gracie Allen, was
Red Skelton around then - I think maybe? The character
actor from December Bride was Henry Morgan and the fe-
male lead was Spring Byington. That's all I can think
of. Better go and put another log on the fire.....we're
in the middle of one of Mother Nature's jokes: snow,
ice pellets, freezing rain and now the wind has picked
up! "I'm dreaming of a White Easter...."
