Memories of Watching TV in Denver

Denver did not get their first TV station until 1952. Therefore, I was over ten years old before television was even available in our home. I would guess that I was close to a teenager before we got our first television, which was a Zenith, a brand that seemed to hold a certain prestige at the time. Does anyone remember Zenith TVs? The only show I can vividly remember watching during those early years was Sheriff Scotty, a local kids’ show that brought joy to many children in the area. I distinctly recall that in the real world, he was the mayor of Englewood, a suburb of Denver, which made it all the more intriguing for us young viewers. My parents faithfully watched the Ed Sullivan Show; it’s a memory that still lingers, with images of bright performances and famous guests. Technology has really advanced since those days, transforming the way we consume entertainment. Today, we have access to a plethora of channels and streaming services, a far cry from the single station that graced our living room all those years ago.
