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."
Back in the golden era of television Hollywood knew that it had a star in one woman named Lucille Ball. She and her husband Desi Arnaz created "I Love Lucy" and the fans loved this concept. Lucille was considered to be an expert in comical television since she had years of training.
The production company was also owned by Desi and his wife and they decided to change female characters in television. No other woman had ever done physical comedy before Lucille and each episode featured this unique ability. The character of Ethel Mertz was always there to assist Lucy.
During the 60's Barbara Eden was not permitted to show her belly button on a show called "I Dream Of Jeannie." The producers did their best to cover her stomach each time an episode was filmed. Jeannie was a carefree magician who liked to romance her master Tony Nelson. At times she would even flirt with his handsome friend Roger Healey. After some years the show made the mistake of marrying Jeannie and Tony.
"Bewitched" was a show that supposedly had a curse upon it since many of the actors died at an early age. Elizabeth Montgomery was the star of this event and she played the lead character. During the time that this show was on several of the characters had been replaced by new actors. Everyone knows that both Dick Sargent and Dick York played the part of Darrin. After the first actress Alicia Pearce died suddenly her character of Gladys Kravitz was 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.
In today's society "Gilligan's Island" still proves to be the most popular comedy of all time. It is truly amazing that people still remember the theme song and they still love Mary Ann, Ginger, The Skipper, Mr. And Mrs. Howell and The Professor.
