The Japanese kami-kaze attacks on the 1952 series "Victory at Sea"had a tremendous affect on my 5 year-old psyche.

The Untouchables was the first series I watched. I remember as a kid being alarmed at the way Eliot Ness played by Robert Stack slapped people around. It led me to the conclusion that FBI men were just about as bad as the gangsters. The character played by Robert Stack seemed to be a heartless guy willing to do almost anything to get what he wanted. I watched the show and thought Eliot Ness was no better than Al Capone or Dutch Schultz. Later I read Eliot Ness's family said the real Ness was nothing like the cold character portrayed by Robert Stack. Nice to find that out.

When I was 5 years old, I used to wake up dead in the morning to watch the cartoon block that started at 6PM. The very first show was the Mighty Mouse/Heckle and Jeckle hour, followed by Scooby Doo, which I watched fanatically.
Another series I watched like crazy was The Magic Garden, a local show that featured two hippie-ish women, Paula and Carole, who sang children's songs and would tell jokes and dress up in costume. They sure don't make children's shows like they used to!
And of course, there was Sesame Street.

A great "lost" show that is wonderful to remember. (Except it was the CASES of Eddie Drake.) Only 8 episodes were produced. Four were filmed by CBS but never broadcast there. They were sold to the DuMont network who ran them and produced four episodes of their own. All shows ran between March 6 and May 29, 1952.
The car - according to Wikipedia - was a 3-wheeled 1948 Davis D-2 Divan. Thanks for mentioning this show.
Here's a Davis D-2 Divan:
