Chart Showing a Day of Television Programming in Chicago, 09/16/1954
An exhibit from the Senate Judiciary Special Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency during its investigation on the effect of television programming on juvenile delinquency.

If I was a teen in 1954 and my option was join the Jets or Sharks or stay home and watch “Behold Thy Mother,” I’m pretty sure which one I would pick. 

Well yeah, but maybe after Dragnet.  Fuck yeah, Dragnet.
