One of the most popular products of the 1950s was television. At the beginning of the decade, there were about 3 million TV owners; by the end, 55 million people saw 530 radio programs. The average price of television fell from about 500 dollars in 1949 to 200 dollars in 1953.
As with previous broadcasts, the spread of TV has brought about a great cultural impact. Since the campaign in 1948, it has been reflected in American politics. The wonderful effect is that it shortens the speech. Politicians and critics started thinking and talking about "sound bite" suitable for the media.
By 1960, the television debate between candidates Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy was considered an important element of Kennedy's narrow victory. Television is also useful for the production of professional and university sports companies and sometimes offers excellent comedy and theater to a wide audience. Otherwise, they may not be able to access them.
But even discreet critics are unconscious rubbish that is often called "Bubu pipe". Its purpose is to sell products, to homogenize cultural hobbies into unambiguous things, and to people who think that their real life should be as flat as they can see in the show It is to create insufficient feeling. Compared to characters like "Leave it to Beaver"
Chairman Newton Minnow of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) called it "a huge wasteland." Still, this is a popular wasteland. For example, the comedian 's Milton Bale show is very popular, and on Tuesday evening everyone is watching "Uncle Milty" at home, so some movie theaters are closed.
In 1954, Water Commissioner of Toledo, Ohio reported that water was added for a certain period as many people used the toilet at the same time during the most popular show commercials.
Television programs had a major impact on the culture of the United States and the world. Many critics called the 1950s the golden age of television. In 1946, only about 8000 families owned television in the United States. By the mid - 1950s, however, three of the four American families had television. In the mid 1950's, science fiction, horror movies, crime and mystery programs emerging television programs such as metropolis, highway patrol, administrative finance mini, night watchman, non-aggressive, racket team, Perry Mason It was. Suddenly, Suspense, Adventure Show - Midnight Captain, Dangerous Mission, Three Lives, Passport to Danger, Sea Hunting etc led. Horror show - Step One Beyond, Bale, Alfred Hitchcock Gift, Mystery etc. Stephen spent a lot of time watching these programs. He is particularly interested in the "horror" show at midnight.
By the late 1950's, TV began to cover most of the country's countryside, so their viewing habits began to reflect on overall TV ratings. Country comedies and Westerners are uplifted and even confused by the author of the show, seen as an opportunity for network administrators to use them, and they still hate them as much as most critics. Americans prefer rural comedies and Western music will last until the 1960s. As early as 1958, the Peabody Awards Committee of the time gave Steve Allen this award, so I noticed that the quality had declined overall. From the mid 1950s to the early 1960s, a series of movies including Alfred Hitchcock Gift and Twilight Zone began to become mainstream, so the TV drama was regarded as the golden age.
