SUMMARY:TV By The Decades: Television in the 1960s
DESCRIPTION:TV in the 1960s\nThe 1960s were definitely one of TV’s oddest decades! The 1960s began with Westerns dominating the ratings! The old West soap opera Bonanza became the most popular show on the air. One after another competing show was vanquished by the old-time sensibilities of an old-fashioned Western. \nAll you really need to know about the diverse nature of TV in the 1960s is found in the answer to the question: “What show finally was able to compete with Bonanza in the ratings?” The answer was a liberal\, modern\, and very controversial challenger: The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. This bastion of the hip\, cutting edge liberal comedy gave young viewers quite a stark alternative to the Ponderosa! (Trivia! Bonanza\, like Dragnet\, had their stars wear the exact same clothes every week. It saved money on costumes and allowed the producers to reuse old shots from previous episodes! \nSo the 1960s were the era of Gunsmoke and Wagon Train\, Gilligan’s Island and The Beverly Hillbillies and Laugh-In and The Smothers Brothers! We will talk about how TV grew and changed as viewers who had enjoyed Combat began tuning in to Hogan’s Heroes. You won’t want to miss this fast-paced multimedia presentation! \nIN THE COMMENTS BELOW – LIST YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW OF THE 1960s! \n

SUMMARY:TV In The 1970s
DESCRIPTION:TV IN THE 1970s \nWhat was television like in the 1970s? \nIt was the decade of Roots and the decade of The Love Boat. Silly television comedies were everywhere! The 1970s was the decade of Laverne & Shirley\, The Fonz\, Mork and Mindy\, WKRP\, Three’s Company\, and both The Brady Bunch and the Partridge Family.  \nDramas became very formulaic and for the most part fairly bland. But Norman Lear created All in the Family a groundbreaking comedy that led to a national debate about racism\, conservatism\, homophobia\, abortion\, mental illness\, and almost every important social issue of the time. And they did so in a way that was so funny that the show was the top-ranked show on television for a record five consecutive years. As Archie Bunker became the voice of  Richard Nixon’s “Silent Majority” other topical comedies such as Chico and the Man\, The Jeffersons\, Sanford and Son\, Maude\, and Good Times began to change the face of what television situation comedies would look like. \nPerhaps no one changed the role of women on television more than Mary Tyler Moore.  Her program broke ground with a monumentally popular view of a single working woman in a professional career.   \nFinally\, M*A*S*H   captivated America with his unique and unforgettable combination of drama\, comedy\, politics\, and personality set against the backdrop of the Korean War but really opening a discussion about what had happened in Vietnam. \n  \nThis fast-moving multimedia presentation is more than just nostalgic. It’s also an insightful look at what we were watching and why we were watching it at that particular moment in time. The 1970s were a unique decade and television both reflected and shaped the way we live. \n
