TV Time: 1961

My sister and me watching TV; College Station, Texas, September, 1961. Sure wish I knew what it was we were watching. The ghostly image is tantalizing but probably not clear enough for a guess. View full size.

Today’s Top 5

What's My Line?

I think this shows Dorothy Kilgallen and Bennett Cerf on What's My Line.

Sullivan?

I agree it might be Sullivan. Odds are my mom is out of frame and she pretty much determined what was on the tube in the evenings...

Odd entertainment

It sure doesn't look like the kind of program that would enthrall two youngsters. No cartoons or cowboy movies in your town? No Little Rascals, Three Stooges or Mickey Mouse Club?

Old style TV remote

Nice picture of the old style TV remote on the coffee table - "Johnny, go change the program to Channel 8."

Speaker fabric

Tough call: which was scratchier? The fabric covering the circular speaker at the bottom of that TV or the cloth on the sofas in the Minnesota Kodachromes?
