DASHING, DARING, AND DEBONAIRE
I had the distinct pleasure of reviewing this book. Many of you grew up watching television and would probably enjoy reading this book.
This is a wonderful book with glossy pages filled with interesting facts about our famous 50's, 60's, and 70's male icons, young and old, along with original quotes from the actors themselves.
It reminds me of the past that needs to be resurrected. We watched these shows because they represented right from wrong. They helped America escape from reality during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the same tensions that we face today such as political turmoil and general unrest throughout our country in general.
We had so many comedy shows and sitcoms, westerns, sci-fi, talk show hosts, family shows, crime fighters, and variety shows back then.
All in the Family, Maude, Good Times and the Jeffersons covered realistic topics that were controversial.
Dragnet, Adam-12, Get Smart, 77 Sunset Strip, Chips, Starsky & Hutch were TV crime shows where we loved the characters and what they stood for.
I Love Lucy, Danny Thomas, Dick Van Dyke, Bob Hope, and Bob Newhart all made us laugh.
Johnny Carson kept us up late with his monologue, character creations, and skits.
So did Rod Serling with his "The Twilight Zone and Night Gallery." Including Gene Roddenberry's "Star Trek," our sci-fi favorite of this generation.
We also had the wholesomeness of the Andy Griffith Show, Happy Days, and The Waltons. Who wished they had an Aunt Bee, or a father like Ward Cleaver, a brother and sister like Greg & Marcia Brady, or a family like Donny & Marie Osmond?
Who remembers Batman, The Incredible Hulk, The Green Hornet and Superman? Those were heroes that we all idolized; who raised our faith when we faced insurmountable obstacles.
Bonanza, The Rifleman, The Virginian, Gunsmoke, Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, Maverick, The Rockford Files, Cannon, Mission Impossible, and The Mod Squad. These and so much more are brought back to life and remembered along with the details of the actor's lives and the history of the shows that we loved during those decades.
The absolute best television entertainment ever found in one book. Take this trip down memory lane today!
