1950s+Television

The early 1950s, ﻿ television was not in color. It was in black and white. Most of the time it was alot of static becuase people had to use antennas to find singnals of televison networks they wanted to use. It was kinda like the radio but more popular and more entertaining to watch. Some televisions in the 50's were even portable. You could take it anywhere youd like. Then later through out the years color tv started, and then the television got real popular. it costed about up to $850 dollars for the smallest television in color, and more tv shows started to play on diffrent networks. Specificly CBS. There was atleast 350 networks and shows. But as time went on through the 50's the actual television and t.v shows improved alot. ||
