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.

"The Beverly Hillbillies" was one of the greatest events to appear on national television decades ago. The series had a great tune during the opening credits and it also featured major movie stars during its nine year run. A small older woman named Granny was always keeping up confusion over the years.

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.

The program was titled "Gilligan's Island" and it was one spectacular event. The professor was a tall good looking man on this island and he did his best to lead these very unfortunate people. Everyone in Hollywood were wondering what happened to the famous movie star Ginger Grant when she was shipwrecked. A girl named Mary Ann was living on a farm in Kansas when she decided to take a three hour tour.

Ralph Kramden was a good man who enjoyed his lovely wife and their friendly neighbors. Ralph was portrayed by the charismatic actor known as Jackie Gleason. "The Honeymooners" proved to be Jackie's biggest hit series and he really liked acting with the other cast members.

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.
