While the 50′s and 60′s saw the birth of sitcoms such as I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners and Mr Ed – the 70′s certainly took television comedy to new highs (and lows).
From programmes as diverse as Laugh-In and Love American Style right through to more traditional shows such as Laverne and Shirley, The Odd Couple and M.A.S.H – they all went into making 70′s television what was either classic or cringeworthy viewing.
Of course the potpourie of programmes goes on like a class roll call – The Jeffersons, Mork and Mindy, The Dukes of Hazzard, The Partridge Family, Bob Newhart, Rhoda.
But what are your favs?
Does The Mary Tyler Moore show work for you – or perhaps was it Happy Days?
WRKP or Good Times?
Welcome Back Kotter or . . . .
So many to choose from – so short is our memory – so let’s take a stroll!
Definitely loved M*A*S*H. That was whip smart writing with just the right amount of pathos. But being a kid I was also very fond of Lost In Space and I had a crush on Will Robinson. i mean who in the 70s didn’t run around waving their arms around wildy saying, “Danger Will Robinson”? Or was I the only dag that did that?
