Watching Classic TV Sitcoms Can Be Fun

By Ida Dorsey


Anyone living in America knows all about METV and Atenna TV which are readily available seven days during the week. These two stations will broadcast some of the best classic tv sitcoms known to all mankind. Viewers can get to see all of their favorite actors from the past whenever they turn on these certain shows. Everyone in England is certainly a fan of the very funny series called "Are You Being Served?"

"Are You Being Served?" was introduced back in the early 70's and people really took a liking to this unusual program. Each individual around enjoyed seeing the different colors that Mrs. Slocombe would wear her hair each week. This was an odd character who never failed to make every single person within the audience laugh. Molly Sugden was able to play this key person through the entire run of the series. She and the other cast members had such grace and style.

On the other hand Mrs. Bucket was one character that many people would run away from. Her neighbors were always sick and tired of her bad attitude and superiority complex. "Keeping Up Appearances" was indeed a stylish program which lasted quite a few years. Hyacinth's husband did not like his wife's behavior at all and during many of the episodes he tried to distance himself from her. Her sister Daisy loved Hyacinth very much and she was always trying to gain her approval.

CBS was very lucky to put on a show called "The Beverly Hillbillies" during the 1960's. Granny was a little old lady who enjoyed making moonshine and fighting with the banker's wife. Ellie Mae was a character straight out of Li'l Abner and she was indeed a blonde bombshell.

Jethro was a full grown man who acted like a small boy and he even attended elementary school. Jed was the only person within this family who had good common sense and he always rescued his family. Also during the 60's there were seven friendly castaways living on an island.

Even though "Gilligan's Island" only lasted for only three years it was still a popular show. Many women watched this series to view the very intelligent man called the professor. He was a charming fellow who could solve almost any problem. Unfortunately the professor could not get the other castaways off the island. Ginger, Mary Ann, the Skipper and the Howells were also part of this group.

Jackie Gleason was able to make his character of Ralph Kramden very popular on "The Honeymooners." He lived with his faithful wife Alice and the duo enjoyed having Trixie and Ed Norton for their neighbors. The series only ran for one year and it is still seen in syndication.

Some people think that "Family Affair" is too sentimental while others really enjoy this series. A man named uncle Bill was kind enough to take care of his two nieces and a nephew after their parents had died in a terrible car accident. They also lived with a butler called Mr. French.
