Amazon Prime Video is watching out for you in these stressful times. The streaming service just added five classic sitcoms to its growing selection of television. These ’60s and ’70s classics include The Doris Day Show, The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Here’s Lucy, and Family Affair. All five series were made available to stream over the last month.
If you’re old enough to remember watching these shows when they first aired, then Prime Video can provide you with a wonderful dose of nostalgia this weekend. See stars like Lucille Ball (Here’s Lucy) and Brian Keith (Family Affair) shine in some career defining roles.
If you’re looking for a recommendation, try the 1970 episode of The Doris Day Show called “The Feminist” for an absolutely fascinating look at the reigning attitudes surrounding early-stage feminism.
If you’re too young to remember this era of TV (like me), then think of these shows as cultural education. Series like The Doris Day Show and Here’s Lucy can often serve as nice reminders to stay upbeat in trying times like the late sixties into the early seventies. Or, you know, now.
All series were added to Amazon Prime Video by MPI Media Group.
