Ed Murrow demolishing Joe McCarthy My father had a habit of saying 'Come here, sit down, watch this, you won't understand it now but you will do later,' and so pretty much my first television memory of any significance was the programme in which Ed Murrow took on Joe McCarthy and demolished him using nothing but the Senator's own words. Dad was absolutely right - I didn't understand it then - but he was ferociously anti-injustice and against the misuse of power, and he made me aware of that pretty much from the time that I was able to walk and talk, so I knew it was important. Murrow is a life-long hero for me and I was delighted when this episode was resurrected in the movie Good Night and Good Luck; nonetheless I wish that more were known and/or remembered about someone who was above all a truth-teller, no matter what the opposition.

TV Lost in Space MASH CAPTAIN KANGAROO I use to watch Frank and Annette. The Twilight Zone Disney / Sunday nights. Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo Romper Room The Price is Right The Gong Show Loved the Gong Show and Chuck Barry This is what I remember watching as I was growing up..

It would be a toss up between... Howdy Doody: with Buffalo Bob, Clarabell, Mr. Bluster, Princess Summerfallwinterspring, and the peanut gallery or... Kukla, Fran, and Ollie: Kukla was a small round-headed puppet, Ollie a dragon or snake (I could never decide which) and Fran was a beautiful lady that stood in front of the puppet stage. Some background... I think I was about four or five at the time and I had to go next door to my Uncle's house to see these shows. He had a small nine-inch, refrigerator-sized TV set.

We didn't have one and wouldn't get one for many years. But I had another uncle that had one of the first TV sets in the city. He used to put it in his plate glass window and turn it on in the evenings.

There were no outside speakers and mostly what was on the set were old agricultural films and the like but people would stop their cars on the street, get out, and congregate in front of his window to watch those tiny flickering images. Incredible. By the way he owned what he called a "Radio Hospital" and repaired what passed for electronics in those days --vacuum tubes.

While I'm on the topic I have to add that shows were not continuous, they ended and then the signal pattern would come on, sometimes for hours, until the next show started. You had to turn all the lights off to view the screen but people didn't care and everyone one wanted a set of their own. Sources: nice memories...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
