Now, let's take a closer look at the cartoons for CBS. Jeannie, an animated, loosely based version of I Dream of Jeannie with Barbara Eden neither in-person nor via voiceover. Why bother? That's followed by an animated version of The Partridge Family. Once we switch to live action, we've got comedy shows featuring the Harlem Globetrotters and the Hudson Brothers. That's a sad, sad lineup. Your results, of course, may vary.

For those of you who might be wondering who or what Madagimo is, it's a public affairs program focusing on Minnesota's substantial Native American population, although in TV Guide they're simply referred to as Indians. At least Star Trek is the original, as opposed to the cartoon. And it's nice to see another appearance of the convention in which programs that are still in network first-run adopt alternative names when they appear in syndication. The Raymond Burr Show - I mean, if I heard that, the first thing I'd think of is Perry Mason. TV
Interesting (slightly) that CBS aired animated versions of NBC's "I Dream of Jeanie" and ABC's "Partridge Family," while ABC aired an animated version of CBS's "Gilligan's Island;" NBC aired an animated "Addams Family" which was originally an ABC sitcom. It's almost as if the programmers were thinking that if they couldn't have had the original on their network, they'd get the animated version
ReplyDeleteHeck, forget about the cartoons, just look at that killer prime time lineup on CBS (sans Paul Sand in Friends & Lovers) which lasted less than 1 season (thank goodness). M*A*S*H replaced that dog of a series later that year. Has there ever been a 3 hour block of programming as good as that? Even during ABC's first shot at the top of the Nielsen's in the late 1970's or NBC's rise from the dead in the early 1980's with their strong "Must see TV" Thursday night lineup, nothing matched Saturday night on CBS in the 1970's, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteActually it was PSiF&L that replaced M*A*S*H on the CBS Saturday night lineup. M*A*S*H aired on Tuesday nights during the 1974-75 season after reaching hit status on Saturday nights the previous season, and F&L was replaced by The Jeffersons the next January.
DeleteI was pretty young at this time and remember watching most of the sitcom-based cartoons at the time. I actually have stronger memories of "The Addams Family" cartoon than I do of the sitcom when I was young. I remember seeing the Addamses on the Scooby Doo Mystery Hour, which employed John Astin as Gomez' voice, and thinking it sounded strange to me. Actually Gomez from the cartoon (voiced by Lennie Weinrib) had a weirder voice, sounding quite a bit like Johnny Carson's Art Fern.
Scott, I agree. the previous season '73/'74 CBS Saturday Night lineup of All In The Family, M*A*S*H, Mary Tyler Moore Show, Bob Newhart Show & Carol Burnett Show was the greatest prime time lineup.... ever. Not just because all five shows were quality shows, but they were in their "prime". None of them were in those final, uneven years (like All In The Family, & M*A*S*H suffered in their later years) and they were all solid, VERY funny shows/
DeleteI was 13 years old when this TV Guide came out so I was no longer an avid Saturday morning viewer, but would tune into several of the shows from time to time. I do recall watching the animated “I Dream of Jeannie” show and what I most remember was that former Stooge (well, he replaced Shemp for a short period) Joe Besser was the voice of the comic-sidekick Genie, Babu. And I did find out, years later, that future Jedi Knight, Mark Hamill voiced one of the main characters.
Of those Saturday night lineup of shows, only All in the Family ran too long. It was at it's peak from Season 1 (71-72) through Season 5 (75-76). Once Mike & Gloria moved out and other less interesting characters took their place, it wasn't nearly as good. I don't feel the same way you do about M*A*S*H. My only complaint was that I wish they could've stripped away the phony laugh track for reruns. Wikipedia has a nice blurb about the controversy of using a laugh track for the series. CBS felt it was needed, while Larry Gelbart and Gene Reynolds didn't want it.
