Name a TV Show you loved as a child!

I loved 'Get Smart'. At the time, the 'Shoe Phone' seemed super high tech :D

Must have been around 1963 or so B & W naturally, no remotes in those days, licences to watch (unless antenna hidden in roof, then take chance with inspectors.. lol fun days...
 
It was around '62 when we got our first set. We lived in Warrnambool and the only channel we could get was BTV6 in Ballarat, 120 mile away.
Reception was very dependent on the weather. The picture was often very snowy. To overcome some of the snow, we hung blue cellophane paper down over the screen. It was a big day for Warrnambool when they opened the channel 6 booster at Tower Hill a couple of years later.
 
My first TV experience was at my Grans house
we didnt have a tv at home
But on a Sunday afternoon when we visited
I was allowed to have the tv on to watch
MUFFIN the Mule
anyone remember that?
Maybe not in Australia.?
Once the programme finished
the TV went off.
I might add that we all sat round in a darkened room
so the screen showed up..
it was rather small.!
so funny..
