Kids really can’t, because they didn’t grow up w it. Too bad. I think Christmas use to be so charming and special. Now it’s all about the best tech your family can get their hands on.

    This sure brings back memories. My brother and I used to watch the Beverly Hillbillies religiously...but there were only two channels to watch anyway. It was a great show.
    Now when I was about 6 or 7, I got to meet Ms. Jane. My older brother and I were 'riding the elevators' at a hotel we stayed at in Regina (Saskatchewan, Canada). She saw what we were doing and requested she take us to her floor...thanking us 'little bellhops' for getting her there. She was very nice.

    For anyone not familiar with the story CBS had the top rated shows for most of the 1960s. The Andy Griffith Show, Green Acres, Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, and Gomer Pyle were all in the top 10 when CBS decided to Cancel all of them. It turns out that the head of CBS, Mr. Wm. Paley had a socialite wife who was close friends with Truman Capote, and the sister of Jacqueline Kennedy, Lee Radzwill and she was embarrassed by her husbands TV Shows so they cancelled them all. These wonderful, corny, shows that we watched with our families. I missed that America.

    • @rdhorsey9081
      @rdhorsey9081 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The published version was that, because North American values had shifted from an "unsophisticated" rural style of life, to a more "cosmopolitan" style, big money advertisers put pressure on television executives to cater to a more sophisticated urban/city audience. According to census data, by the 1960s, far more people than ever before, were living in cities rather than on farms. Much of this was due to the fact that in 1960, the U.S. Census Bureau adopted a population density threshold of at least 1,000 people per square mile for urbanized areas, and that meant that even small towns were now "cities". Advertisers wanted the general population to move away from old fashioned, mail-order catalog shopping (created originally for farmers to buy their tools & seeds), and get out to the sprawling, new concrete department stores and malls. Live like you're Marlo Thomas and Mary Tyler Moore!
      Actor Pat Buttram (Mr. Haney on Green Acres) referred to 1971 as "the year CBS killed everything with a tree in it"!

      @cindybin2001 It was nice for us white people when the country was mostly white. Others suffered unfairly. The way the country is "supposed to be" is liberty and justice for all, regardless of race, creed color or national origin. Other than the native inhabitants of this continent, we are all either immigrants ourselves, or the descendants of immigrants. I welcome anyone who values liberty, representative government and the rule of law, as do the immigrants that I work with at my job every day.
      I still cling to the hope that our nation will live up to the true meaning of it's creed, but those that share your view cause me to fear that we'll head down the same path as Nazi Germany and some of the fascist governments that are on the rise around the world today.

      I don't know if that was Mike Minor singing, but you could tell it was only a lip synch because when Billie Jo sat down at the piano, it started playing full orchestral music, with background vocals, and that wasn't possible at the time this was filmed.
