Some of the first ones I remember are Captain Kangaroo and Sheriff John. (I lived in the Los Angeles area. We had 7 tv stations! LOL)

Of course, I watched cartoons - Hanna Barbera, Warner Bros., lots of others. The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show was great!

There were lots of westerns. I remember The Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers and Gene Autry from a very early age.

Speaking of the Lone Ranger reminded me of Zorro. It first aired when I was 3 years and 9 months old. OMG! I WAS Zoro! LOL

The Twilight Zone was amazing.

When I was around 8, I got addicted to the series, Combat. When my friends and I ran around the neighborhood playing "army", as we called it, we were emulating characters on that show. Sgt. Saunders (Vic Morrow) was the man. I also loved Hogan's Heroes.
(Most of our dads were WWII vets.)

There were spy shows. Mission Impossible, I Spy, and of course, Get Smart.

I remember lots more, but these stand out.

Lost in Space, MASH, Kirk era Trek. All reruns but that’s what my dad watched when we had court-ordered visitation and mom didn’t always have tv in her welfare apt, but when she did she didn’t much care what the kids wanted to watch.
