The Japanese kami-kaze attacks on the 1952 series "Victory at Sea"had a tremendous affect on my 5 year-old psyche.

I remember plenty of kiddie shows, but the first night-time series I recall watching in its original run was THE SHIRLEY TEMPLE STORYBOOK THEATRE.

The first show I remember was "Ding Dong School" a daily morning show for kids hosted by "Miss Frances", a nice 60-ish lady. I think this was even before "Captain Kangaroo" started, mid-'50s.

I'm choosing more than one: Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Dress Up, I Love Lucy reruns, and The Real McCoys reruns.

The first television series I remember watching in the fifties is The Mickey Mouse Club. The serials they aired each week were some of my favorites including The Hardy Boys and Spin and Marty.

When I was 5 years old, I used to wake up dead in the morning to watch the cartoon block that started at 6PM. The very first show was the Mighty Mouse/Heckle and Jeckle hour, followed by Scooby Doo, which I watched fanatically.
Another series I watched like crazy was The Magic Garden, a local show that featured two hippie-ish women, Paula and Carole, who sang children's songs and would tell jokes and dress up in costume. They sure don't make children's shows like they used to!
And of course, there was Sesame Street.

Anyone remember FILES OF EDDIE DRAKE? As I
recall, he rode around L.A. in a *three wheel car; circa 1952.

A great "lost" show that is wonderful to remember. (Except it was the CASES of Eddie Drake.) Only 8 episodes were produced. Four were filmed by CBS but never broadcast there. They were sold to the DuMont network who ran them and produced four episodes of their own. All shows ran between March 6 and May 29, 1952.
The car - according to Wikipedia - was a 3-wheeled 1948 Davis D-2 Divan. Thanks for mentioning this show.
Here's a Davis D-2 Divan:
