Nowadays there are so many shows on television which display too much sex and violence. Luckily people can still catch classic tv sitcoms whenever they tune into a station called Atenna TV. Fortunately PBS in America also runs many great old programs on Saturday night. Americans can all thank England for "Are You Being Served?" and other great hits.
Even though it was the 1970's "Are You Being Served?" was a program that was well written and produced. It was very unusual since characters such as Mrs. Slocombe and Mr. Humphries were part of this ensemble cast. Betty Slocombe was a woman who enjoyed wearing her hair a different color on every episode. She lived within an apartment complex with her very odd cat. During the thirty minutes that it was on the program had many sexual innuendos happening.
"Keeping Up Appearances" proved to be successful with the upper and lower class families around England. Everyone loved to hate the dreadful Hyacinth Bucket. Even though Hyacinth was middle class she was a horrible person who tried to live an extravagant lifestyle. Over the weekends this lady would invite all of her neighbors to a candle light supper. Many of the residents refused to attend her social events. Mrs. Bucket had three sisters on this particular series and they did not like her behavior.
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.
The program was titled "Gilligan's Island" and it was one spectacular event. The professor was a tall good looking man on this island and he did his best to lead these very unfortunate people. Everyone in Hollywood were wondering what happened to the famous movie star Ginger Grant when she was shipwrecked. A girl named Mary Ann was living on a farm in Kansas when she decided to take a three hour tour.
Alice Kramden was the fictional wife of Ralph on one series titled "The Honeymooners." Alice would often speak her mind to Ralph and he would tolerate this behavior. Sometimes the two of them would have horrible fights that would more than likely end any marriage.
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.
