#7  Dale,

Where I lived, the National Anthem, and the Air Force Choir singing the Lord's Prayer, were played at signoff, midnight or 1:00 am. At 6:00, the test pattern with the Indian head disappeared and the re-run of The Big Picture or an Israeli infomercial began rolling. Then at 7:00 we finally got Mighty Mouse.

And men were Gentlemen when there were Ladies present.

Those were indeed. TV was free to view. In the cities you could have about nine stations to watch free. National anthem would start the day.
Hot Shops, Mighty Moes White Towers, Little Taverns and Diners were the fast food chains in my area. Air conditioning wasn't that common either.

The color film in 1949 of South Pacific was trying to compete with TV which was black and white. My other favorite was Bali Hai. As I recall Bali Hai does exist. Mary Martin and Pinza were another good pair:
