Up here in mid Canada we had no TV whatsoever till 52-53 B & W that is.My Father bought a 21" Viking at Eaton's 6 months before we got any programming. Got use to watching the Indian Test Pattern for 3 months until some programs were featured here and there!Remember Tommy Dorsey hour then some Duffy's Tavern(From England)Amos & Andy,The Howdy Doody Show and eventually Disneyland.Good times back then and later some real good Comedy like The Shows Of Shows with Sid Cesar
