I grew up in the 1950s in the era when TV was first making its inroads to the American home. Probably only 1% of families owned one. I was walking home from school with a friend who asked me if I would like to stop at his house to see their new television set. Having never seen one, I readily agreed.
The program playing on the set at the time was "Howdy Doody." His face (if "face" is the proper term here) was the first TV image I ever saw.
