Readers Digest was in the house. Subscriptions were cheap. I only remember two humor columns - Humor in Uniform and another one of hand-drawn (single-cell) cartoon characters with a joke or punch line. I got Boy Scouting magazine. Mom collected Green House stamps (in paper books).
I also remember b&w HoneyMooners - with Jackie Gleason - "One of these days....straight to da moon Alice, straight to da moon." The Ed Sullivan Show was followed by a newcomer = Bonanza on Sunday night. The rabbit-ear'd set-top antenna worked pretty good on that channel.
And That's the Way It Was on .....
Good Night Chet, Good Night David.......
But I truly don't feel THAT old.
