1964 Boomer TV

**BEWITCHED-- "A not-so-average housewife could solve most any problem she encountered in her quiet suburban life with a wiggle of her nose." I really liked neighbors Gladys and Abner. "ABNER!!!" And, poor Dr. Bombay. //// **GOMER PYLE, U.S.M.C.-- "A naive Marine from Mayberry often gets in trouble with his commanding officer. Well, Goll-ee!" No wonder Sgt. Carter had high blood pressure. ///// **GILLIGAN'S ISLAND-- "Seven mismatched personalities were ingenious enough to build most of their furnishings from bamboo but not clever enough to figure out how to leave it all behind." "Little Buddy." //// THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.-- "In this series, charm offensive and a bevy of gadgets were used to battle baddies from (Do you Know?). //// **THE ADDAMS FAMILY-- "Adapted from a series of New Yorker cartoons, this macabre sitcom featured Wednesday, Lurch, Thing and Cousin Itt." //// "You Rand?" --DaCoot

Boomer 1964 TV: 50 Years Ago-- Part 1

From March 2014 AARP Bulletin "Power of 50: Boomer TV" by Carol Kaufmann. //// "Fifty years ago this month "Jeopardy!" came on the air. 1964 became a landmark year for other TV show debuts. Here are some favorites from that year." Well, I'm not sure of some of them being "landmarks," but I did watch some of them.
