Where To Watch
Pick: What would you watch on TV in 1959?
Gee, Wally! There sure is some swell stuff on the tube.
It's that time again! Time to enter the time machine. We're heading back to 1959. As much as you might want to get out and explore Eisenhower's America, or shake, rattle and roll… there's a lot of great stuff on television. So we're staying in each evening.
Here is what the three networks had on offer in the fall of '59. Remember, you had to get up off the lounger to turn the knobs.
See how your choices compare to others.

Toughest choice between Groucho and The Untouchables. Went with Ness.

46% similar to the most popular responses. I had to choose shows that I've only seen on MeTV because I wouldn't be born for 5 years.

got: 70% similar! I was not even born until 1972.
I was at 90%
I knew it would be close, but I'm a little surprised that Perry Mason beat Bonanza. Anyway, I was at 72%. I hate The Donna Reed show, and I hadn't heard of the other two, but I figured they'd have to be better.
