By 1960, watching television had become the pastime of millions of
viewers around the world. Week after week, audiences tuned in to
watch their favorite programs and catch up with their favorite
characters. During the 1960s, some of the most beloved shows of all
time originally aired, including The Andy Griffith Show, The
Fugitive, Get Smart, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and The Wild, Wild
West. Even after these shows departed the airwaves, they lived on
in syndication, entertaining several generations of viewers.
Devoted and casual fans alike can probably remember basic facts
about these shows-like the name of Rob Petrie's boss on The Dick
Van Dyke Show or the original captain of the USS Enterprise-but
more obscure facts, like Barney Fife's middle name, might be harder
to recall. In Television Series of the 1960s: Essential Facts and
Quirky Details, Vincent Terrace presents readers with a cornucopia
of information about more than seventy-five programs from the
decade. For example, did you know that on The Addams Family,
Lurch's mother wanted him to become a jockey? Or that on The
Avengers, John Steed had a pet dog named Freckles? Or that Patty
and Cathy Lane of The Patty Duke Show had a distant cousin named
Betsy Lane? These are but a few of the hundreds of fun and
intriguing specifics contained within this volume. Shows from all
three major networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC)-as well as select
syndicated programs-are represented here. This is not a book of
opinions or essays about specific television programs but a
treasure trove of the facts associated with each of these programs.
From Mister Ed's social security number to the zip code for
Hooterville on Green Acres, readers will discover a wealth of
fascinating information that, for the most part, cannot be found
anywhere else. In some cases, the factual data detailed herein is
the only such documentation that exists. Television Series of the
1960s is the ideal reference for fans of this decade and anyone
looking to stump even the most knowledgeable trivia expert.
