I never saw a TV show until the mid/late '60s - my family was too poor to
own a receiver.
BTW, further research has shown that the full first name of Dr Thomas H.
Cat's research associate Ray Fiddle, one of the earliest hippie children to

repudiated that abbreviation with revulsion once he realised why people
outside the commune kept laughing at him.
