Even at the age of 73, I still fondly remember many of the early television programs from the "Golden Age" of TV -- mostly the 1950s, with only vague memories of the late 1940s (mostly local programming), plus a handful of shows that managed to enter the 1960s, as well.  Most of these shows were in black & white, with a mix of live broadcasts (and sometimes "semi-live"), with all the hazards and pitfalls of happening NOW, with no opportunities to correct errors and go back; or the pre-recorded programs, many filmed on a shoestring budget, with wholly predictable laugh-tracks and canned music.  But -- WOW! -- the talent that abounded on early 1950s TV:  many radio & movie stars that were chomping at the bit to attract a new audience; a deep stable of young actors who used television as a step-up to a regular series and/or movie contracts; variety shows that provided a vast cornucopia of entertainment; and so on, and on, and on.  Today's younger audiences are probably overwhelmed at times, by the seemingly endless options available on cable, streaming, apps, on-line, etc -- but I remember with deep pleasure the years when television happiness was provided only in black & white, with a choice of three channels -- with nothing following the "daily broadcasting schedule" except "The Star Spangled Banner" and a test pattern.  R. I. P. 1950s television -- R. I. P!
