A classic era sitcom world? You mean where they don’t have any toilets? That’d get uncomfortable after a while.
that isn’t all they don’t have - sex, drugs, NPR
it’s not worth it
For All in the Family, it would depend a lot on your politics. I personally would get along with Archie much better than Meathead did (on most things) and vice-versa.
And I would love to be married to Gloria. I would treat her better than Meathead did.
You spelled “Mary Ann” wrong.
Well, while Mary Ann was the prettier, nicer and cuter one, she was also chaste and loyal to her beau back home. Ginger was the one that might have romantic subplot with the guest of the week.
Don’t do it. She’s just using you to get a teeny, weenie, weensy, weenie, nine-foot-long piece of rope.
Mayberry would be my choice. Very warm and pleasant town.
2nd choice is Leave it to Beaver’s town Mayfield.
3rd F Troop, I wouldn’t mind the Old West the way they depicted it.
Could I live in Dog River (Corner Gas)? I like sarcastic interchanges and they never seem to experience anything like a realistic Saskatchewan winter.
I’d go for *Bewitched *if I could be one of the witches. My mom was basically Endora (seriously, I’m pretty sure she used Endora as a role model) so I’d get along great.
Nanny and the Professor might be fun too.
Ozzie was a bandleader?!? I thought they never even told him what he did for a living! :eek:
Ricky Ricardo, on the other hand, *was *a bandleader, so you might not fit in with Lucy, either. :dubious:

if you were to be transported to the universe of a sitcom as you.
take a fifties sitcom: I don’t think many modern young girls would appreciate not being able to wear pants to school, being expected to perform Christianity and attend church or suffer repercussions, being nicknamed something like Kitten and being expected to get their “MRS” instead of an actual education.
Oh and only having newspapers, radio and TV would probably suck to a modern kid…
The information they have is always timely and relevant, though. You don’t even have to sit through ads (unless they are somehow relevant to your current predicament); just turn on the TV or open the newspaper and -bam- the important information is right there for you.
I figured it out this weekend; Family Affair. To me it showed real love within the family. Who wouldnt want Uncle Bill for an uncle? Lots of money and a gentleman’s gentleman to cook and clean!!
I’m not sure that it qualifies, but … I wouldn’t mind an extended stay on The Love Boat.
You know, I grew up in the '60’s. My mother had a college degree, my father didn’t. My family took education seriously. We didn’t have cutesy nicknames. My brother wasn’t “Champ”, and my sisters weren’t “Kitten” or “Princess” (hey! you resemble that!). As a girl, what I asked for and got for Christmas when I was 7 was a flashlight, a pocket knife and a pair of cowboy boots. I climbed trees and read books instead of playing with dolls. And that was fine with my parents. No one was concerned with the fact that I was a “tomboy” or worried that I might turn out funny (re: gay). Or at least not that I knew of in my kid-world. Yes, I was expected to go to church, just like I was expected to be home for dinner, go to my grandparents, or any other family activity. We only had three channels, but the library was a bike ride away. My father would expect a daughter to help rewire a light or reset a toilet, and my brother scrubbed the kitchen floor every Sunday on his hands and knees. I think the restriction looks a lot worse when you weren’t there.

How does this work exactly
Do i get Marlo Thomas? or Eva Gabor could be interesting and if not, i could ride down to Petticoat Junction?
Beverly Hillbillies could be fun, Granny would be a riot to hang out with and help test “medicine” and she might fix a guy up with Elly May. Course Jed might shoot me?
Heck with Ginger and the island, already live in florida, got plenty of sand and hurricanes, and she would just want something constantly.
I Dream of Genie would work except for too many of you guys trying to barge in the door
Is get smart a sit com? Barbara Feldon is there
If we can do radio, i’ll go to the jack benny show and visit Mary Livingstone
If i were transported to an old fifties sitcom, would i really be able to cope with my sister(s) Peggy Sue and Mary Lou saying things like “Uh-uh-uh! Mom said no one can touch those brownies till after dinner!”
I could live in mid-1970s Chicago and go see my psychologist, Dr. Bob Hartley. Elliot Carlin and I would be bitter, but hilarious, rivals.
