What's the first TV show you remember watching?

[Rain Man]

We can go with two categories if necessary: animated and non-animated.



As a little kid, I remember the non-animated shows more than the cartoons. I have vague memories of seeing The Red Skelton Show live, as well as an old Three movie on a Saturday afternoon. At the age of six, I pondered becoming a variety show host. I also have vague memories of The Courtship of Eddie's Father, and I greatly admired the bachelor upstairs neighbor who had the beads instead of a door. And of course, Wonderful World of Disney, which was quite interesting but also annoyingly void of cartoons to be full of such cartoon potential.

On the cartoon front, I remember greatly enjoying Wacky Racers, which I believe is where Dastardly Dan and Muttley got their start. My mom worked in a day-old bread store, and she had a little portable TV that she would set up in the back (inventory) room, where I would watch cartoons on Saturday morning.

Like slinging a piece of mud off the end of a stick.

Used that one teaching my boy how to cast.

Billie Thomas became “Buckwheat” in the 1935 episode called, Mama’s Little Pirate. But he continued to play the role as a girl. Since the character, “Buckwheat” was originally a girl, Hal Roach and the studio must have wanted to keep it that way — even though the new actor for Buckwheat was the boy, Billie Thomas. If you were ever confused about whether he was a little girl or a little boy, this may be the reason. He wore pigtails with bows, a large over-sized sweater and large over-sized floppy boots.

This may be my most successful thread of all time. It's still going strong after ten years.

Beany and Cecil here. I was a cartoon junkie as a kid.

Does anyone remember a live-action show where a giant spider would terrorize people? I'm almost sure it was a weekly show. It would be on after church every week. Freaked me out.

[splatbass]

I remember Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason, Batman, Laugh-In, My Three Sons and a few others. I have no idea which was the first, but probably Red Skelton.

Rep for the first to name this show.

Man, Science fiction has come along way.
