Thanks to the magic of DVD. I get to see this charm of a show. My guess is that it was deemed too controversial from this time. As hectic as the 60s were , from a historical perspective... Sexual Revolution, Vietnam, Civil rights coming to forefront , Communism in our backyard, Drugs , Hippies etc. Really a time of uneasiness. The one thing everyday Americans can count on was good wholesome LEAVE IT TO BEAVERISH TV. This show , though a nice show , certainly by todays standards , reeked of sexual tension from the 60s standards. TV was a safe haven to forget about the world and hideaway so to speak in a turtles shell. This show , though subtly managed to cause unrest in the uptight. I would venture to say this show was a sacrifice with more risqué TV to come. The acting was good and this was a reminder of the Dick Van Dyke Show... with Laura Petrie turned up a notch in the character of Sandy-Goldie Hawn.Translation- This is the Dick Van Dyke Show with shorter skirts and steamier conversation. Reminding me today of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM being similar to SEINFELD , with the same writing style of Larry David. Carl Reiner wrote differently than Larry David Obviously. But both managed to be consistent with the style they did use. Its a shame though that this show only lasted one season . I will cherish every episode.
