      @calvingregory2017 Рік тому

      I am the same way. Same with Cheers when Sam says, "Sorry, we're closed." Always gets to me. I think no matter how many times you watch a series, every time you get to the end it will always hit you hard. I have most of these series on dvd or blu ray so can watch them often. But every time it ends (even though I can restart it) it still gets me. Just shows how great the actors are and how great the writing is, that these characters seem real to you and a part of your life. :) Golden Girls was always a bit underrated and I hated how young people would say its' not funny just b/c the characters are older or men might say it's a show for women. But if a show is good (like GG and Designing women) it didn't matter who the main characters were or how old they are. Funny is funny, and great, well-written characters with great chemistry between the actors are timeless and should be watched by everyone.

    Golden Girls was a revolutionary show for its time since it was about senior citizen women, The Bob Newhart Show had a running bit where Bob would wake up in the middle of the night and tell his wife about his weird dreams, so it was doubly awesome that they used that to end Newhart.

The Cosby Show, Family Ties, two seasons of Valerie, and Growing Pains. I loved all these family shows sitcoms because they showed us realism.

    From watching Bea Arthur's real emotions in her final speech on "The Golden Girls," to (and I was not a fan of "Newhart") one of the BEST ever final scenes of any show (I was a HUGE fan of "The Bob Newhart Show") to what I thought was a weak ending to an absolute POWERHOUSE of a comedy ("We're closed" uttered from inside Cheers by Sam to a unknown pair of legs on the steps leading down to the bar - though Norm's speech about Sam really being there for his one TRUE love - the bar), the 1980s (I was born in 1971) I still will debate that it was the decade that had not only the best music EVER but the best TV shows ever!

  • @calvingregory2017
    @calvingregory2017 Рік тому +1

    As someone from Cincinnati, I'd like to add that WKRP in Cincinnati's closing credits song was purposefully nonsensical. Originally, they put the music together and rambled nonsensically through the lyrics intending to replace it later with actual lyrics, but they wanted the showrunners to hear the music portion. The showrunners decided that the nonsensical version was perfect as it basically lambasted the fact that some rock music seemed to have lyrics that were not easily discernable. Also, the Turkeys Away episode was loosely based on a real-life radio station promo. Only it involved throwing turkeys out the back of truck and not a helicopter. Also, I wanted to add that Bob Newhart was the king of the one-sided conversation. His phone conversations are very well done and memorable.

    Richard Sanders looked in his 60's when WKRP in Cincinnati and even though he wasn't that old it's crazy to think that he's still alive. As for the Golden Girls Betty White was actually the oldest and lived the longest. The Golden Girls still holds up today. Same goes for Three's Company. Seen Marla Gibbs in an episode of Young Sheldon and it was nice to see her, brings back so much nostalgia from The Jeffersons to 227. As for the Cheers theme song always made me sad and would try and miss the opening.

    It was so bizarre when Roseanne was cancelled in its reboot for saying controversial and shocking things. Did no one remember what she was like 30 years before?

      IT also unfortunately had the Streisand effect. Meaning, people looked up Valerie Jarrett and found many an unflattering pictures. And people who were "outraged" are too dumb to know she is not very black. She is from the Middle East and half white. They should've brushed over the thing

    You in the USA had so many good series, as a teenager in Germany you were unlucky, we had the "Schwarzwaldklinik" and "SOKO 5113" only late in the eighties when there was cable TV that came by private broadcasters to Germany, many American Series where dubbed and on Air. There were various series from the States like Bonanza, Colt Seavers, Magnum, Golden Girls), but many episodes were missing.

      @allencollins5666 I don't know what culture you are from but in my culture it was definitely relatable. Just that society portraited us in a negative way on TV and the movies. It was refreshing to see something positive about our culture for a change that was definitely factual but wasn't seen.

    WKRP theme songs were Intro to represent the easy listening aspect of where it was to the rock and roll end theme of where it went. From the easyness of the beginning of the show to the ruff transition to the surviving rock and roll at the end of each episode.

    Now from I had read many a year ago!!!. Roseanne had seen the British show Ab Fab and wanted to make a U.S. version, with her playing the character of Eddie and Jackie playing the Patsy character. But all the networks turned her down, so she just turned the last season of her show into Ab Fab. And If I also remember, Both Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley made a cameo appearance on Roseanne as their Ab Fab characters.

    As a hobby, knowing I can never legally make any money off of it, I write screenplays for books. Maybe writing a series finale for The Jeffersons might be fun.

    When I was younger I loved the TV show 8 Simple Rules and my favorite character was the father (John Ritter), my mom grow up in th 80s and loved Three's Company so she recommended the show to me. I loved the show so much it would be the only thing I would watch for a good year, my mom got so tired of it she recommended the golden girls and married with children so there would be something else on (she got sick of those shows as well because of me)

    When you think about it, Three's Company IS an 80s show. It just happened to start in the 70s. That said, the Chrissy seasons were It for me, I remember them most from the reruns and I had a special fondness for Suzanne Somers because of Step by Step.
    I watched The Golden Girls in full starting in 2021 and I kinda regret not getting into it sooner because it's as good as they say it is.
    Roseanne still holds a special place in my heart even with all the controversy surrounding the lead actress. John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, and the rest are amazing.

    Shows that begin in the 70s are properly classified as 70s sitcoms.

      I think the majority of the shows run or its best seasons are what decade it was in. Happy Days is a 70s sitcom, even though it ran until 1984
