Our First TV

In the early 50's we got our first TV. It was an Admiral and had a whopping 7 inch screen measured diagonally. Dad bought it used from a guy named Lukey who he worked with. Cresse and his father helped put the antenna on the roof. There were only 3 channels in those days, NBC, CBS, and ABC, but they had really great shows. My favorites were Amos-N-Andy, Rocky King Detective, the Colgate Comedy Hour, Sid Ceasar and Imogene Coca, and Mr. Peepers.

During the Summer, we had to put a fan behind it to cool it off. We got a lot of use out of it before we moved up to a 14 inch Motorola.
