The 1950s saw the spread of television in many homes in America. 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!
