Stacker explored more than 70 TV debuts from the year you were born and the inspiration behind them.
As the landscape of TV continues to shift, it's always a good time to pause and look at the medium's history. The first American TV station began broadcasting in 1928, but television didn't really start growing into the influential, widespread phenomenon that it is now until the 1950s.
For many years, there were only a few TV networks—ABC, CBS, and NBC—and a limited number of channels and studios. The advent of cable TV and streaming services has allowed diverse forms of televised storytelling. The most popular show that aired in 2012 when a 10-year-old was born looks vastly different than the most popular show that aired in 1965 when a 57-year-old was born.
Some of the older TV shows obviously still hold a place in American culture and TV history today. For example,"The Twilight Zone" forever shaped the anthology series and how the science fiction and suspense genres unfold within the medium. However, pinpointing every major show that's come out since TV took off can be a time-consuming task.
The show went on to receive several accolades and a slew of wins including a 2021 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing and a Peabody award in entertainment.Netflix's"Squid Game" series became an instant hit with viewers when it was released in September 2021. The show follows Seong Gi-hun and a group of other debt-ridden people who decide to participate as contestants in deadly games for a chance to win a lump sum of money.
