Yeh Pete Jennings! At last some one who remembers Fireball XL5!

Bonanza. Just about all the westerns mentioned, plus Laramie, Wagon Train and Death Valley Days. I couldn't decide who I had the biggest crush on among those Laramie Cowboys.

I remember Combat, but I had terrible nightmares as a child after watching WWII movies or serious TV dramas about war, so the family didn't often tune into them

McHale's Navy. The Dick van Dyke Show. Make Room for Daddy/The Danny Thomas Show.

My family loved the variety shows of the 50's and 60's. Red Skelton was a particular favorite, and of course, Jackie Gleason and Ed Sullivan.
