Television.... Where would we be without television? Seriously though. Did you have a tv set while you were growing up? If not, did your neighbors or friends? If you did, what were some of the shows that were on and what were your favorites?
In Western Australia TV did not arrive until 1959. Until then it was listening to the radio while we did embroidery - from 5.30 to 7 there were the childrens serials, then the adult shows came on. My grandmother used to love the quiz shows.
In 1959 black & white TV arrived and my grandparents bought a set. There were 2 channels and my favourite show was the mouseketeers, annette Funicello being my favourite mouseketeer.
My photo today is of a gerbra flower which is part of a floral arrangement given to me on the weekend.

We lived in California when the Mouskateers started. My mother kept my card they give you when you join the club. I have it framed here in the office. That was a great show too.
I love the show House and that Hugh Laurie is a wonderful actor. I had no idea he was from Australia
until he won an award and started talking!! Great actor
That gerbera is beautiful, nice and cheerful for the winter.
Sometimes I find myself still singing that song...M-I-C-K-E-Y...lol. Great photo!
Beautiful photo...and how I wish I'd been around for the golden age of radio. What a wonderful way to use your imagination :)
I think Annette was everyone's favourite mouseketeer joan. Can anyone remember the names of any of the other ones?
