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?"

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.

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.

"The Beverly Hillbillies" was one of the greatest events to appear on national television decades ago. The series had a great tune during the opening credits and it also featured major movie stars during its nine year run. A small older woman named Granny was always keeping up confusion over the years.

Granny had a grandson named Jethro and he was a pitiful creature. He was a big good looking man who did not display good common sense. Sometimes Jethro would get himself into the most dangerous situations and his uncle would have to save his life. The people living on an island during the 1960's also needed saving.

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.

Ralph Kramden was a good man who enjoyed his lovely wife and their friendly neighbors. Ralph was portrayed by the charismatic actor known as Jackie Gleason. "The Honeymooners" proved to be Jackie's biggest hit series and he really liked acting with the other cast members.

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.
