Classic Television Shows: 1960s and 1970s Reflections

Mar05

Television in the 1960s and 1970s was safe for all ages. Dad would get home from work, we’d eat mom’s home-cooked meal as a family, and then we’d pile in front of the TV set to watch what had become everyone’s favorite – The Andy Griffith Show. Most people would agree that the show wasn’t the same after Don Knotts (Barney) left, but it didn’t change our level of dedication to this classic television programming.

Sitcoms weren’t the only medium that graced our TV screen back in the 60s and 70s. Dramas, game shows, and even soap operas were becoming hugely popular. A recent post on Squidoo.com remembers the gameshow Password:

Password was a fun show from the 60s, which featured many celebrities who were popular at the time. (Host Allen Ludden) was married to Betty White, who became very well known first on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and later on Golden Girls. They were very happily married until Allens’ death.

Today, it is ironic to think that Betty White (who turned 90 in January), first became well known on one of the first shows ever to have a single successful woman as the lead character. Perhaps some of her continued enthusiasm and dedicated work ethic is a result of her roots in The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Fond Farewell to Davy Jones

Mar01

He was funny, entertaining, and an icon from the era of Made-for-TV mega-stars. Created in the image of The Beatles, The Monkees came into our homes and in spite of ourselves, made us laugh. Of the four, Davy Jones was the most endearing…

In all of the Monkees songs that the public was assaulted with, we heard Davy Jones’ voice making us realize that we didn’t need a lot to be happy, and that a person believing in a dream could also have a shot at the homecoming queen:

“Oh, and our good times start and end, Without dollar one to spend, But how much, baby, do we really need?

“Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, Oh what can it mean, to a Daydream Believer, and a Homecoming Queen?”

It is with great sadness that we note the passing of Davy Jones…

What was your favorite song by The Monkees?
