At the end of the war, only 5,000 television sets, with five inch black & white screens, were in American homes!. By 1951, 17 million had been sold!. The Original Amateur Hour, a revival of a popular radio show, was the first top-rated show in 1948 !. Milton Berle's slapstick comedy, Texaco Star Theater, was credited with creating the demand for televisions!. Its greatest rival was Ed Sullivan's Toast of the Town!.

Kukla, Fran & Ollie kicked off children's television as Junior Jamboree in 1947, followed by the Howdy Doody Show!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What !? You mean TV shows !?

No one much had a TV !.

Even in the mid 50's, you had to wait til 6-7pm for something to be on the TV& it went off after the 10pm news!. Then it was just ABC CBS and NBC followed shortly after!.
It wasnt until then (mid 50's) that the gen population had a tv!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
