Knowing All About Classic TV Sitcoms

By Deanne Shepard


Anyone living in the 70's knows all about Jack, Janet, Chrissy, The Ropers, Terri, Larry and Mr. Furley. The series "Three's Company" is already part of the classic tv sitcoms hall of fame. People living in England know that this show was stolen from "Man About The House." Jack Tripper is a lonely male who comes to live with two women in a two bedroom apartment. He has to pretend that he is gay in order to continue this living arrangement. Years later the series was canceled and the producers created a less humorous show called "Three's A Crowd."

"I Love Lucy" is a unique program which featured a crazy woman with bright red hair. The show starred a husband and wife team along with their usual sidekicks. Lucille Ball was the queen of comedy during her time and she knew how to get into very zany situations.

Desi Arnaz owned the production company which produced the show in the early and mid 1950's. During the show her character would usually come up with a ridiculous scheme in order to get into show business. These schemes involved the great and lovable Ethel Mertz character who was Lucy's best friend.

Another entertaining show happened in the mid 60's and it was called "I Dream Of Jeannie." This was a program which featured a young astronaut who found a girl living inside a bottle. She was the adorable Barbara Eden who had been in show business for a short time. Jeannie would always get Major Nelson into the most hectic situations and then use her magic to resolve the problems. Major Nelson had a best friend named Roger and he was also very comical.

Anyone who believed in witchcraft took the time to watch a funny show called "Bewitched." This was one show that had a curse placed upon it from the start. Unfortunately only a handful of actors from this show are still among the living. Dick York portrayed Darrin Stevens for a period of time and then he left this series. Elizabeth Montgomery then welcomed Dick Sargent as her new and loving husband. The woman who played the first Gladys Kravitz died too early and she was also replaced.

"Good Times" was a series about a struggling black family living in the Chicago ghetto. This series was a spin-off of a show called "Maude" and it proved to be a big hit. Unfortunately the ratings went downhill after the third season when John Amos quit. Many people felt that he was the glue which held this series together and they stopped watching after his departure.

Many years ago the producers in America decided to make a series about a talking horse. His name was "Mr. Ed" and he was very funny to many of the fans who watched. Ed was never satisfied with his life and his master knew this for a fact. During the filming of this series crew members would place peanut butter across Ed's lips in order for him to move his mouth.

Anyone living on this planet has heard about the very famous "Gilligan's Island." The show was only on for three years but it has a cult following. People everywhere remember Gilligan, The Professor, Mary Ann, The Skipper, Mr. And Mrs. Howell and Ginger. Some human beings continue to watch this series in syndication all over the world.
