I was born in 1968 but some 50s shows were still on network TV in the early 70s.
I clearly recall seeing the opening credits to both Gunsmoke & Bonanza.
Too bad that I was too little to understand them at the time.
I know the first sit-com from the '50s that I saw in re-runs was most certainly "I Love Lucy".

Here where I live in the UK we could not get local commercial TV when it started in the 50s so had to watch a very wobbly screen of anything we could pick up from London, and the first series I remember watching was The Adventures of Superman.
I was enthralled!!! But seeing an episode of that very same series recently may me realise just how crudely it was put together, BUT we were happy in those days and much easier to please! -

the most stuff I remember watching..or rather the earliest..was afternoon tv seriesDecember Bride, Our Miss Brooks,Topper, etc..and Loretta Young all made there way to daytime tv. gameshows, like Queen for a Day or the Price is Right was Bill Cullen the host at one time? I remember watching all of those you mentioned too and Tom Terrific Crabby Appleton..the meanest man in town. Gumby. For whatever reasonGumby didn't do much for me. and Art Linkletter's showthen the afternoon shows for kids would playDisney, the Cisco Kid, Sgt Preston, Ramar etcsome space ship thing too. We had to have the Ovaltine rocket ship to make our Ovaltine or Bosco.

I an answer that question better than many people because my family didn't have a tv set until i was six.
However, i rmember visting family friends and watching afternoon kid's kids shows before we had a television.
So the first tleevision show i ever watched was probably alocal pPhiladelpia afternon t kid's show, but I can't rmember the first time I watched television or anything which would intentify the eries.
I imagine that most members of younger gnerations have been exposed to tv from infancy and might be alble t identify the first show they rmember seeing but not the first show they actually saw months or s years earlier thanthat one. -

I was born in 1949, and the first TV Shows I remember watching and loving, were "The People's Choice" and "Hennesey", both starring Jackie Cooper, who just passed away today at the age of 89. I was shocked that the newspaper obituarys only credit him with The Little Rascals and the 1978 Superman films.
No mention of those two ground breaking sit-coms that started it all. -

Laff in
The Smothers Brothers
Gentle Ben
Cimarron Strip
The Red Skelton Show
I Love Lucy (I particularly remember the one where she gets her toe stuck in the bathtub spigot).
Ed Sullivan
Of course, it is hard to narrow it down to one, as I was all of about three or four at the time.
