Chico and the Man

you are right--I just like the escapism and humor from the fluff shows--Lucy, My 3 sons, green acres, beverly hillbillies, dennis the menace.

@delidude1999 Believe it or not, as a Puerto Rican who grew up in the Bronx in the 70s, I found these shows empowering... because it was so rare to see working class latinos (or blacks) on TV. Sure, it seems as if the networks knew how to exploit minority themes but at the same time, i think a lot of these shows (like Good Times, for ex.) also did not miss an opportunity to be a vehicle for exposing discrimination, poverty and all the social issues relevant to minorities back in the day. :)

Hey delidude, just throw your tv away!
Many people get rich off others.
We make them rich by purchasing car, tv's, computers, cell phones, movies, DVD's. How do you earn your money? Maybe it's the money that's exploits everything around it. Hmmm

That sign "Boyle Heights" makes me hungry for a Manuel's Special.

i never understood why thre was such a push for shows like this in 70s--i guess it was an era of let's exploit minorities and stereotype them--chico & the man, good times, sanford and son--I never found it entertaining to watch shows about poor minorities

@delidude1999 what did you want to see, a show about rich minorities? that came along in the 80s--the cosby show. lighten up, boy.

I didn't want to see any of those shows that felt a need to make a statement. Granted All in the family was groundbreaking, but I preferred the fluff from the 50s and 60 when tv was meant to entertain. Even today I hate reality tv and sitcoms are not funny anymore. tv should be a form of escapism--I don't want to forced to take note of society's problems. We get enough of that with the news--i want to escape with Lucy, Fonzie, Laverne & Shirley, etc.

i love those old-school lowriders like the one @ 0:51.

I'm sorry, but you're coward to off yourself.

@BrooklynEagle I don't know. Why don't you try looking up ur ass?
