My, my...

By the above criteria of age, I must be fully ancient...

I remember watching television in my Irish grandparent's home in San Francisco. My family didn't yet have a set so l would watch my grandparent's set which had a black and white picture. The set was in a cabinet that stood about waist high and the screen was flat on the top and bottom and rounded on the left and right edge. I remember watching the "Mickey Mouse Club", "Crusader Rabbit", the original Jack LaLanne exercise shows, short 15 minute programs with performers like gospel singer Mahailia Jackson, and, on Friday nights, the Gillete boxing matches ("Look Sharp!, Feel Sharp!, Be Sharp!"). The above picture reminds me of a serial that ran on TV in the 1950's titled "Captain Midnight". Does aayone remember that show. Jet Jackson had a sidekick who would always say "The name's Mudd, Ichabod Mudd, two 'D's'"...

EDIT:

"Captain Midnight" also went by the title "Jet Jackson"...
