When did television become so popular in America?

In: African-American History, TV Shows and Series

As it did in all the industrialised nations, television became popular very quickly during the early sixties. At that time TVs were quite expensive, and were generally a family activity. They have become progressively cheaper and now the average house has 2-3 TVs. This is having the opposite effect and is isolating family members from each other , and this also makes it easier to feed them propaganda.
