Did they have reruns?

My folks had a favorite show called "One Man's Family" that we listened to every night during supper. I remember listening to Saturday morning "cartoons" with my older brother, but the only one I can specifically recall was Woody Woodpecker because of his trademark laugh.

Everyone gathered around. If they missed it, well then, they missed it. I don't think even early tv had re-runs but I could be wrong.

I've seen recordings for sale of various programs, but that was a few years ago, so I don't remember the details. Try searching on the web. I bought some and have them packed away somewhere after moving.

I remember Howdy Doody Time and the soap operas, the Metropolitan Opera on Saturday afternoons and one about the Shadow I think as well as, perhaps The Lone Ranger, the Top Ten Hit Parade and Art Linkletter. There were many others including some drama shows.
