Television became popular in the 1950's because it combined the elements of sounds with moving pictures. Having a tv was a focal point for many families, because it was something they DID as part of their time together each evening to watch the news, or catch a program of some sort. No longer did they have to rely on the radio for their news, weather, music, drama, or advertising. They could see the products and people, and experience the current events as if they were standing along the sidelines. Popular events that shaped television viewing in the 1950's include the inaugarational speech by President Harry Truman in 1951, the Senator McCarthy hearings in 1954, and the introduction to sitcolm shows like Lassie, the Honeymooners, and I Love Lucy.
