  • Lou Whitney
    Lou Whitney - Motocross Icon

    From its inception television has played a major role in people's lives, but there is no physical comparison to the 10 inch round black and white television of the mid 1940's, and the television of today.


  • Sherrie Mathieson
    Sherrie Mathieson - Stylist to the Stars

    I loved cartoons as a kid---all the Disney characters and Disneyland. Howdy Doody, Roy Rogers, Gene Autrey, Hopalong Cassidy were all on my list. Then it was shows like Gunsmoke and 77 Sunset Strip, Alfred Hitchcock and The Twilight Zone.

    The invention of the wheel and the discovery of fire pale in comparison to the birth of television. If you combine the invention of the remote control and the television as one entity, then the Seven Wonders of the World, Landing on the Moon

    Ted Skup - Push Up King

    I loved "Leave it to Beaver", The Andy Griffith Show" and Father Knows Best". By the end of everyone of these shows, life's little problems where always solved in thirty minutes.

    Diamonds, daisies, snowflakes, That Girl" From the time I first saw Marlo Thomas, I wanted to be "That Girl", living in my own apartment, having a nice boyfriend, crazy adventures and life with a promise.


  • Terri Dennis
    Terri Dennis - Pop Art Diva

    Born in 1951, I was a TV addict from my earliest years. I spent many a Saturday morning watching my favorite kiddie show, Captain Kangaroo as well as cartoons like Looney Toons, Mighty Mouse and Bugs Bunny.


  • Art D'Alessandro
    Art D'Alesandro - Screenwriter/Producer

    In a house with 7 kids and one TV, the choice of what we'd watch usually came down to what my father wanted to watch. As it turns out, that was a good thing!


  • Joe Neal
    Joe Neal - Triathlete

    Had a television when we were growing up in the 50's! As I recall, only three channels offered. We just had a limited number of hours that they broadcast.


  • Susan Silver
    Susan Silver - Writer of Classic TV Shows

    As a TV viewer, ok, addict... and a former TV writer (Mary tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, Maude), I can make the arguement that TV is just as good as it always was.
