1960s TV

The television shows from the 1960s is very different from the television today. The shows accurately represented the decade, I think. The show Gomar Pyle took place on a Marine Corps base. It was expected that the audience would be familiar with the Marines, as many young men were in the military during the 1960s. Much of the humor in Laugh-In was based around political and social events that were happening at the time. This is a lot like what Saturday Night Live does today. I didn't really like the shows we watched. The best was the Twilight Zone, but even that is not as scary or creepy as many of the shows that are on today, such as American Horror Story or other shows that try to thrill the audience. Sitcoms have stayed pretty much the same since the 1960s except for some of the humor. Shows now get away with dirtier jokes and language than the sitcoms we watched from the 60s. Also,  many sitcoms now no longer use a laugh track.
