About This Tool
The main types of television in the 1950s were sitcoms and game shows. Obviously, special episodes are still a big deal, and color TV shows are beginning to have some appeal. I love that Lucy is considered the most successful early sitcom, and it has the highest ratings in three years. In the late 1950s, Westerns gradually occupied the market.
It is obvious that many people were turning from radio to TV shows in the 1950s, and the funny sitcoms attracted a large audience. The random tool recommends 29 of the best sitcoms of the 1950s you did not watch.
