From the Perry Mason episode “The Case of the Deadly Toy” (May 16, 1959). Perry and Della are posing as the Streets, a married couple with a young son. Mrs. Barton, the babysitter, has an urgent question: “Do you have television?” And Mason replies, “Of course!”
I love when old television shows have the characters talk about television.

Second old television reference today. The first from Len Deighton's "Horse Under Water", circa 1963, where a cabin cruiser boat is described as being kitted out with an impressive 17" television!
ReplyDeleteI’m impressed!
ReplyDeleteI can see in my mind's eye that slight tilt of the head "Of course".
