mszanadu I must admit I don't hold 1950s kids shows in the highest regard, but there are some exceptions, such as the highly entertaining "Super Circus" and the excellent "Watch Mr. Wizard". 1960s was generally excellent though with fine series like "Top Cat" and "Yogi Bear".....I remember watching a lot of 1960s stuff as a kid in the 1990s....
I was actually using the 1950's decade as a possible marker
for when children's shows were introduced
( but don't really know exactly when
these programs officially started up as the whole history of ?

) .
The only one I know of from around that time
but it first aired in 1947 was the show
Howdy Doody 1947 - 1960 which I did watch from time to time
but it was in reruns and in color

.
I also watched most of those programs that you watched
from the 1960's to 1980's as well

Thanks Mr. Dacron fo ryour reply
