It is considered to be the golden age of television as watching the tube became a new form of entertainment, with many families enjoying this medium for the very first time. With it, came the popularization of TV shows like sitcoms, comedies and game shows, with Westerns gaining popularity in later years. As TV programming expanded, by the end of the decade most American families had their very own television set in their living room. This exciting decade certainly paved the way for the future of network television.
The old shows seem to be the best, at least in our memories. Let's get started with the reminiscing of this wonderful television decade in this fun quiz!

I got 20 out of 20!
From Lucy and Hitchcock, to Dragnet and the Three Stooges, you are truly a student of popular 50s television! Maybe you remember cramping around your old big-box TV with the family, TV dinners in hand, and being blown away by the new generation of TV shows. Or maybe you only know them from Nick at Nite reruns – but however you remember, you know that this was TV’s beginning. There was never anything like 50s TV before, and the 50s were the beginning of the TV as we know it today.
Quite a few of these were steady viewing for me back in the day: I Love Lucy, Honeymooners, Dragnet, Perry Mason, and What’s My Line?
20/20
I used to watch a few of these shows — The Honeymooners, Dragnet, Perry Mason — while the rest were common knowledge being well-publicized.
