Classic TV Sitcoms Are Now Available

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?"

One particular character named Mrs. Slocombe was a real hit on "Are You Being Served?" She would do very unique things each and every week and people loved to look at her. She was not an attractive woman but was quite interesting to view. Her hair was painted a different shade every time this program came over the airwaves. Unfortunately many of the stars on this particular series have all passed away and no other actors could ever take their places.

The show "Keeping Up Appearances" will make any person think about the great Hyacinth Bucket. This is one zany character who wants to be a millionaire. Unfortunately Hyacinth also thinks that she is above anyone else living within her neighborhood. This person also does not like her own sisters since they are basically loose women. Her sibling Rose is a woman who likes to chase younger men and she will never really find true happiness. Meanwhile Daisy is married to a common man and they live on the poor side of town.

Some people enjoy watching "The Beverly Hillbillies" while others think that this is the worst show ever. Fortunately the program proved to be a big winner for CBS and it had a long run. The two major women within this series were Granny and Ellie Mae and they were both glamour gals.

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.

During the 1960's there was also a family of five living in New York City. They were all on a program called "Family Affair." The major player on this series was a man named Bill and he shared an apartment with Sissy, Jody, Buffy and Mr. French. At times Mr. French seemed a bit jealous of the children since he wanted to live a childless life. As the series went on this great man from England became a second father figure to the three small tykes.
