Classic Spin
August 31st, 2008 — 01:10 pm
Imagine a family, all sitting around the television, perhaps the only TV in the house. Dad holds the remote control, which everyone called "the clicker. The remote has only two functions. One function turns the TV off and on. Other changes channels, all 7 or 8 of them with a click of a button. Now try to imagine what the family watches. Are you imagine watching one the television classic 1970s?
In the 1970s most families had one or two televisions in the house, and the second set was usually stashed away from mom and dad bedroom, where they could watch the classic shows that children could not even look like Maude, no soap. The TVs in the house would show the same programs in black and white.
What keeps the family stuck these TVs that had only a handful of channels, a clicker old, and often no color? The TV classics 1970s, of course. There were so many family friendly shows in a variety of genres.
For families that enjoyed comedies, the 1970s have some of the sitcoms of the most memorable. Families in the '70 's learned about families in the 1950s, looking the popular "Happy Days" and its equally popular spin-off Laverne and Shirley. Happy Days has also launched the career of comedian Robin Williams who went to play in another spin off of the show - Mork and Mindy.
Other family-friendly television classic 1970s include The Partridge Family (home with beating teen David Cassidy), the show that introduced us to John Travolta, Welcome Back Kotter, One Day at a Time, Chico and the Man, The Odd Couple Good Times, WKRP in Cincinnati, What's Happening, Three's Company and The Jeffersons.
Families with children enjoyed comedies with a social conscience as All in the Family, Maude, Barney Miller or Mash. The 1970 Classic sitcoms have addressed social issues of the day in poignant yet humorous way.
Families were also several different shows to choose from for their viewing pleasure. Classic variety shows such as The Donny and Marie Show and The Sonny and Cher Show was music, comedy sketches and popular guest stars each week. The Carol Burnett Show was attended by some of comics funniest 1970, each week and the Muppet Show combined the genius of fantastic creations of Jim Henson with the comedy and musical guest stars share the stage with Kermit, Miss Piggy and Animal.
There were plenty of family dramas now, too. Eight is Enough, Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons are that some of the classic television dramas that brought families together in front of the television every week.
There was also room to combat crime and action hero in the 1970s television classic. The world has learned what was in The Bionic Six Million Dollar Man and its spin off The Bionic Woman. Each week would tune families to see how Lee Majors and Jamie Sommers could use their eyes and ears bionic. CHiPs us gave an overview of the life of the California Highway Patrol officers. Starsky and Hutch drove buys evil in their hot rod and BJ and the bear hunted in bad a Wheeler 18.
Two other television classics from that era can not be defined by any of these other genres are The Love Boat and Fantasy Island. These shows are held for the stars of yesterday and the stars of the present era to make guest appearances, several at a time. For years, the family stayed home Saturday night just to see who would get off the plane on the island or increase the cruise director Julie's guest list.
In today's modern times, there are hundreds of channels on each of four or more television sets in most homes. However, there seems never to watch, especially something that the whole family can enjoy together. Many of these television classic 1970s are now on DVD and can be purchased or rented online or in a store. Why not consider getting a TV Classic DVDs for your family on Friday night instead of animation in general the family?
