TVs in the 50s and 60s were very small and weren't light. They were in black and white and they didn't always pick up the show on the antennas. After the TV came out it didn't take along for people to start to advertise in between shows. Everyone started to advertise on TV from soda companies to government. some of the most popular shows were westerns and game shows.
