I am so happy that some of the history of television remains. This would have aired when my dad was 8 years old. I love seeing a glimpse of children from his time.

OK, so the pacing is quite slow, but it is fun seeing what was one of the most popular TV series back in 1948. I also enjoyed seeing the vintage Network ID. Quite a nice episode! Enjoyable, historical, and very much worth seeing.
