My family watched these shows as well. We had to watch as a family, because we only had the one set, as you mention. No cable TV back then. We got just a few stations, CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS (called "educational television" back then), WPIX (NY Yankees), WOR (NY Knicks), and WNEW (Wonderama (cartoons)). Great reference to the rotary dial to change channels. I don't know if I could live without my remote control today, although I would probably drop a few pounds by getting up and down from my recliner changing channels.
