Found Photos of People And Their Television Sets

In case of fire, 82% of 20th Century Americans surveyed in the pre-Internet era would rescue the TV set.

In the pre-internet mid-Century, owning a TV set was a source of pride. It connected you to knowledge presented by people who seemed too big to be on it – not by girth, rather by style and more keenly substance. And it filled a corner in the living room and duly turned up in family photos. We’ve shown found photos of people and their TVs before, and in this album we go again, including some pictures of photographs of TV shows on the telly. Anyone know the shows?
