That's interesting. I was born in 53 and missed the history. I do remember that show later on. An interesting side note, my mother liked how Garry Moore spelled his name. As a result my first name is spelled the same as his, with 2 r`s. Been a pain in the a** for legal things since.

Born in 47.
My grandpa and grandma used to tell me stories of riding to Oklahoma in a horse drawn wagon to make the land run.

I was born in '66. I'm probably the fringe here.

Primitive analog tv is just awesome. It took an unbelievable amount of engineering to make that happen. As a kid I would sneak behind the tv & look at the guts through the ventilation holes. All the glowing filaments. I could hardly fathom there were people smart enough to make it happen. Same thing with the moon shot. All done with slide rules. BTW, Winston tastes good...like a cigarette should.

Yes! We had Zenith TV's. I had to get my ass off the floor turn the channel, Adjust the "Rabbit ears" to tune channels in.  These millennials have NO idea!

Remember the Fine Tune ring around the channel knob!

When I could first see TV (at my Uncle's House) it came on at noon. Earlier in the morning you could only get an adjustment 'star' much like a crosshair reticle in a rifle scope. Here in the Detroit area we got three channels. I believe there was an antenna on the roof of the house. That would have been in the late '40s.

Being born in 1974 reading your responses makes me think I was behind the times. The crosshair does sound familiar sinse you mentioned it. Probably around 1980 I got to stay up and watch the national anthem with the jet planes followed by the color stripes and the long beep.
