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?"

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.

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.

Some people enjoy watching "The Beverly Hillbillies" while others think that this is the worst show ever. Fortunately the program proved to be a big winner for CBS and it had a long run. The two major women within this series were Granny and Ellie Mae and they were both glamour gals.

Every person alive felt sorry for the big dumb man called Jethro. Mr. Jethro Bodine only had a fifth grade education even though he was over eighteen. His uncle Jed was now a millionaire who could buy Jethro any item on Earth that he desired. CBS also created a program which featured three females and four males who were stranded.

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.

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.
