When we were kids (me and my six brothers and sisters) used to love stuff like Gilligan's Island, The Invaders, Lost In Space, It's About Time, Outer Limits, I Love Lucy, Saturday morning cartoons of all types but especially The Road Runner Bugs Bunny Hour, pretty much anything that was on back then we watched.
Man From Uncle and Mission Impossible were big favorites of my youngest sister and I, we used to play spies after watching that.
The back was never on our set because it broke down so much, I used to like to look through the neck of the CRT and watch it from the back side of the screen.
The TV was located at the end of our 10 foot long dinner table my Dad had built to accommodate our huge family and we would all sit around it to watch.
Reception was terrible back then, (we were 120+ miles from Los Angeles) I remember my older brothers going outside to turn the antenna for the best signal, when you changed the channel they had to do it again.
One channel that was clear was UHF KBAK 29 from Bakersfield, they had a Tom Hatten like host who would play movies and have games with prizes for people who sent in their names. Every channel had a local host who did stuff like that back then, I miss the hokey little local stations with no Network affiliation.
