Television of the 1970s reflected the shifting attitudes of the
nation, as more shows attempted to represent social changes across
the country. Edgier programs like All in the Family and M*A*S*H
pushed the boundaries of popular programming to become standards of
quality viewing. At the same time, the small screen began to
acknowledge that viewers were open to more diverse programming,
resulting in hit shows like Sanford and Son and Good Times. Some of
the most beloved shows of all time originally aired during the
1970s, including Columbo, Happy Days, Little House on the Prairie,
and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Even after these shows departed the
airwaves, they live on in syndication and on DVDs, entertaining
many generations of viewers. In Television Series of the 1970s:
Essential Facts and Quirky Details, Vincent Terrace presents
readers with a cornucopia of information about more than seventy
programs from the decade. For example, did you know that Jim
Ignatowski on Taxi attended Harvard? Or that John-Boy Walton was a
reporter for the Jefferson County Times? Or that Lieutenant
Columbo's favorite sandwich was peanut butter and raisins? These
are just a handful of hundreds of fun and intriguing specifics
found inside this volume. Programs 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 facts
associated with each show. From Oscar Madison's middle name on The
Odd Couple to Jim Rockford's license plate number, readers will
discover a wealth of fascinating information that, for the most
part, cannot be found elsewhere. In some cases, the factual data
detailed herein is the only such documentation that currently
exists on bygone shows of the era. Television Series of the 1970s
is the ideal reference for fans of this decade and anyone looking
to stump even the most knowledgeable trivia expert.
