American TV shows from.the 60s

**BLD** · 30-06-2024, 04:39 PM

Following on from Hughcows thread about British comedy I was sitting out the back swirling a frosty and watching tunes on YouTube from the 60s one clip by the monkeys ( I'm a believer) had excerpts from the likes of gilligans Island
Mc hales navy, I dream of genie, gunsmoke, Beverley Hill billies. Bonanza, get smart
Just to name a few. A lot of its definately quite different from brit or Oz humour but funny as fuck I reckon. Hogan's heroes never disappointed.

Agree. Snubs, a lot of really great shows I liked The Wild Wild West. Bonanza was good. Twilight Zone even though I only saw repeats years later. Adam 12 and Voyage to the bottom of the sea.

Even some of the stuff aimed at kids was good. Flintstones, scooby Doo, Wiley coyote? Flipper, lassie etc.

The late 50's and into the 60's it was all about cowboy shows.

Rawhide, Maverick, Gunsmoke, The Wild Wild West, Bat Masterson, Paladin, The Rifleman, Daniel Boone, Davy Crocket, the comedy western F Troop.

Cartoons were a good life lesson. Tom the dishonest and deceitful cat, was always battered by Jerry.

In the Flinstones, the women, Wilma and Betty always came out on top, and Fred’s boss was always a twat.

When I grew up, I preferred the subtlety of Alias Smith and Jones.

Most of the rest was just good old fashioned slapstick.

Always had a laugh at Bilko.

Star Trek...trade training for avionics engineers.
Whole family used to like all the detective series of the 60's and 70's.
None of us could be bothered with American humour though.

Later to become Ironside following his cancer.

The best sit-com of the 60s and one of the greatest of all time…

No one had a grasp of the Constitution, like Barney.
