During the 1950s, Motion Picture Show was developing into a more real environment. Tv’s pictures and its films roll more smoothly and color starts developing. When color tv’s were starting to take place in the 1950’s, many people wanted them because color tv’s were different and they made the environment more realistic like you are actually looking through your own eyes and seeing what they see.( Smith)

There are also many other diffrent televison shows that took place in the 1950's like Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, Father Knows Best, and Gunsmoke.

There was a large decline of motion picture admission from 1946 to 1960. This was mainly because of World War 2, men were being drafted into the army and women had to work and spend there money wisely, and the television and film companies saw a extreme decline in there money making.

Television and film made entertainment so much easier to access and made peoples lives much better, and it also created new jobs for people that could become actors and actresses.

Rabbit Ear Antennas

Televisions had what was known as Rabbit Ear Antennas because the 2 antennas would be pointed up and to the side on top of the tv.
This gave the TV a rabbit look with the screen being the face and the antennas being the ears.

The Antenna’s had to pick up good signal so they can get a good reception to watch the tv. Because of the poor reception, these antennas may have to be extended up to 3 feet!

Even with the antennas and proper service, the tv’s had only a couple channels. Tv’s during these years were mostly used for the News and MTV shows.(Hillstrom and McNeill)
