More Classic TV Sitcoms Around The World

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.

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.

For three long years people had the pleasure of watching "Gilligan's Island." The show's creator was a talented man who also invented a program called "The Brady Bunch." The individuals living on this island could never truly be rescued since that would ruin the show. Ginger spent most of her time chasing after the handsome professor who lived on this deserted place.

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.

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.
