I think the television was a DuMont but I could misremember. I do remember Howdy Doody, Amos n Andy (also radio), Sky King (also radio), Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger, etc. Of course there was Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Rifleman, The Rebel, etc. In high school I was big on The Addams Family. Later on there was Laugh In, All in the Family, Hee Haw, and The Smothers Brothers.

On a B&W Zenith TV: all looney tunes, Gilligan's Island, The Munsters, McHales navy, Hogans Heroes, Man from Uncle, Bonanza, The Joy of Painting, Wide World of Sports, Hee Haw, Star Trek, Lassie, and a ton of others.....

I was really happy when my parents finally got a color set.....

We got 2 channels when I was growing up, both ABC. If it wasn't on ABC, chances are I didn't see it.

There wasn't any until I was in high school.

Dukes of Hazzard was a Friday night show if I recall, just after something else we liked but I can't recall what now.
I always liked "The Wild, Wild West" with Joseph Conrad(?) and Ross Martin. Funny thing though, I tried to watch that show a few years ago and it was COR-NEEE!!!!!
Saturday morning cartoons were Mighty Mouse, Huckleberry Hound, Wacky Racers and a few others. One which I really enjoyed but wasn't on for long was a cartoon called "Space Ghost"... that would also probably seem corny if I watched it now.

Lone Ranger, Gene Autry, Howdy Doody, Treasure Hunt (Jan Murray), Beat The Clock, Lawrence Welk, Ed Sullivan

Saturday morning cartoons on the color Zenith that attracted neighbors far and wide... Dad was never an early adopter of anything but he had a friend with a TV store!

Mighty Mouse in Color had everyone memorized!

As for evening TV it was very limited... Wonderful World of Disney and Batman...

PS... that first in neighborhood Zenith played out in 1980... it still worked but tuner was going out so we surprised dad with a new Zenith and that is still used every evening by mom...

Married in 1959 and only two bought new TVs to date...

Zenith... the quality goes in before the name goes on.

My younger brother had to watch Kimba the White Lion and Speed Racer...

Layer Love American Style was popular...
