I didn't watch howdy Doody either , couldn't get interested, I think perhaps I was just a bit too old for it. Oddly enough I was a teenager when Dick Clark's American Bandstand hit TV , it didn't interest me either. I remember watching Queen For A day, and actually enjoying hearing the sob stories the women told. As an adult I would cringe over women telling such things to get on TV. Yikes!
As a kid when my father didn't live with us, I would run home from school to listen to the radio programs. The Shadow, was one favorite. At night we would gather in the living room and listen to all the programs on Radio, believe it or not we would sit and actually watch the radio, except when there was boxing on, then we watched Grandpa, he fought every match he listened to. He would sort of punch at the air, and when a boxer would take a punch Grandpa would go oof from the punch. Sometimes he was better than the match. There was a big radio / record player set (actual furniture) in the living room, then a small table set in the dining area. Now I guess all the radio stations just play music, but back then we heard Jack Benny, Red Skelton, the soap operas, and many dramas.
