Ginger or Mary Ann 60s TV Survey Results |

TV theme songs might be an interesting future episode, Matt. Great job with the poll. (Mary Ann all the way!)

Mary Ann - because even if you disregard the fact that she was better looking, who do you want to spend time with, someone who is sincere and sweet or someone who is manipulative?

I remember being in grade school and the Ginger or Marianne competition was out there. I could relate more to Marianne. Ginger was a red headed Monroe wanna be- Tina Louise still alive. Dawn Wells aged well-RIP

[@dlschgo]

If you like Julie Newmar, find the three or four episodes of Route 66 that she guest starred in. She played a mystery girl that zoomed by Martin Milner in his Vette after first slowing down to give him a great smile. He could never quite catch up to her, mainly because there was always a cop around when he had to make fast moves to match what she was doing. Turned out she was a free spirit heiress that had a savvy lawyer following her--hired by her father's estate--to keep her out of trouble. He also helped the people like Milner that ran into trouble because of her. She was a gorgeous, totally unique character at the time. She was so popular that they kept bringing her back. George Maharis was also taking a break from the show (for a movie,) so they needed to change things up.

[@michaeltaylor8719]

That was a great synopsis of that episode. I actually remember Julie Newmar as Rhoda the Robot in My Living Doll, probably the first time I remember seeing her.

[@popgoesthe60s52]

I will check out those Route 66 episodes - thanks dlschgo!

[@ChordtoChord]

Tina Louise had to play a caricature. A movie star with a Marilyn Monroe accent. Dawn Wells was an innocent, playing an innocent. I think that's part of why Mary Ann is often preferred.

[@stevescott2903]

According to what Ive read, Tina Louise didnt like the part nor did she get along particularly well with the rest of the cast. She'd be signed young by a major studio, "A Bomb" if you will, and that wasnt easy to deal with. That she got stuck playing a Poor Man's Marilyn combined with some serious dramatic training lead to a fair amount of unhappiness, aloofness. Regardless, Im a Mary-Anne guy. Down to earth Dawn Wells, who while lacking the Glamour considerably more depth and a true beauty in her own right.

Entertaining survey Matt 👍 For me its Ginger😍 She is the red headed version of Marilyn Monroe, which reminds me of the Bruce Springsteen song Red Headed Woman - " Well Brunettes Are Fine And Blondes Are Fun, But When It Comes To Getting The Dirty Job Done I'll Take A Red Headed Woman"😆

[@scottiwen4745]

My Living Doll, the Julie Newmar show where she played a beautiful robot, only ran one season, 1964-65, 26 total episodes. The 26 episodes were repeated once to fill out the year, but were never officially televised again. Never went into syndication and many of the episodes are now feared to be lost forever. One can find a few on KZbin. A Living Doll DVD was released that scraped together what could be found from old film, tapes, etc., that totaled 11 episodes (video quality is rather poor at times). The episodes though are quite good if you can find them - one can really see Julie Newmar in her element as someone with some comedic chops. The phrase "does not compute" comes from this show.

[@deirdre108]

There is one episode on MLD where Julie Newmar shows off her actual piano playing chops on a classical piece that I no longer remember the name of. She was quite skilled!

[@popgoesthe60s52]

[@scottiwen4745]

@@popgoesthe60s52 A little digging just now found that 12 episodes of "My Living Doll" can be found for free on an online streaming service called Tubi. These are the same episodes found on the DVD released some 12 years ago. While TubiTV is free, they do insert some ads to pay the bills

[@michaelrochester48]

That’s because the original shows were completely destroyed in a fire at a film archives where they were held. The ones that you can get on DVD and KZbin are actually low-grade Ken scopes that collectors had videotaped.

The girl you'd want to date vs the girl you'd want to marry was a question often asked in the 1940s, especially to G.I.s during the war. The answer was aimost always the same: they wanted to date Rita Hayworth but marry Myrna Loy. Hope you come up with another slightly off the music topic thing again some time. After all, it's all pop culture and it's all the 60s.

[@EricSchultz-zs8hz]

I saw that video, but didn't get around to voting! Well, next time. I would have voted for Mary Ann, Jeannie (though your comments made me think more highly of Samantha- Jeannie was very goofy), The Munsters was always my favorite (Lily catches my eye even more than Marilyn), Twighlight Zone, Julie Newmar, Flintstones, Barney Fife (if you had had him running against Col. Klink, I would have voted for Klink), Star Trek, and Green Acres. Maybe you could do some more polls, like who do you enjoy watching more, Jim Neighbors or Frank Sutton (I always kept my eye on Sutton as Sgt. Carter, because his reactions were hilarious).

I did complete the survey for fun, although we didn’t get a couple of those shows in the UK. I was surprised you pitted Doctor Who against Star Trek rather than, say, Lost in Space. I’m amazed that it made it to the US in the 60s! Star Trek is surely the much larger brand and the result was probably a foregone conclusion- even I voted Star Trek despite being a fan of DW in the 60s!!

Hi Matt, I am a Maryann and Samantha fan. I was an Addams Family fan. The only problem with the Addams Family was they never left the house, Munsters had more action. Julie Newmar for me. Great survey. I saw my Living Doll, the show was okay.

I remember My Living Doll with Julie Newmar. Bob Cummins was quite popular in the 50's - he had the Bob Cummings show which I used to see in reruns. Being 9-10 years old in 64-65, Julie Newmar gave me strange feelings watching her as a robot.

Jeannie vs Samantha: Jeannie was more outwardly sexy, as opposed to Samantha who was every bit as beautiful if slightly less voluptuous. The Ginger vs Mary Ann thing probably inspired the very similar Jennifer vs Bailey one with WKRP in Cincinnati. And yes, count me as a Bailey guy.

Man Matt, I missed this poll. I met Ms. Wells before her passing, she was still lovely.

I was a Mary Ann guy, but often on the fence, Tina was more dolled up, so Mary Ann was an unfiltered beauty I think. (edit) love the deck.

How fortunate to have met Dawn! Also glad to hear that it's been a topic since the 70s!

[@misternewoutlook5437]

In most of the results I was with the majority. You can watch these shows almost everywhere now. However, you can't watch the Al Brodax Beatles cartoons just anywhere. Not on youtube certainly, because of copyright. You can find a few of the cartoons with muted sound over the songs on youtube, but that's no fun.

Hi Matt. I am hoping I can interest you in an idea for a video. I realize MASH was a 70's show, but the movie had a 60's vibe. I have always wanted to know everything there is to know about the T.V. version(s) of the theme song. How many times was it re-recorded during the 12 year run of the show, were some versions simply remixes of a previous years version, was it done in L.A., and if so, was it performed by members of the wrecking crew? A full rundown of the players on each version would be fantastic. I also feel that a T.V. themes video would be awesome for your channel, thanks DeanJonassen.

[@popgoesthe60s52]

I don't have any info on the recording but any changes to the theme song over the 12 years were minimal. That was my fave show of the 70s and I have seen every episode. I wasn't a fan of the movie because the hair styles weren't period (a major faux pas) and I hate Elliot Gould. I will be judicial on how I cover any bands that were really more 70s bands than 60s and I will do the same with TV, though I did offer 100-song playlist of the best 1970s theme songs on my podcast. Of course MASH was included. Thanks for the request, Dean!

Though at the time there was very few foreign TV shows shown on US networks. There was no cable and the Big 3 competed with their own programming. PBS did present some UK based shows, The Avengers being one of the most popular-Diana Rigg! We also saw Monty Python and The Prisoner on PBS and I’m sure there were more but these three immediately come to mind. Edit: This comment was in reply to bobburroughs. Don’t know why it was slotted here.

[@tltatt]

In the 60s The Avengers actually aired in primetime on ABC. It is my favorite action show from the 60s. Diana Rigg as Emma Peel was amazing. The Prisoner aired in primetime on CBS. The UK show Danger Man (renamed Secret Agent) aired in primetime on CBS also.

[@deirdre108]

@@tltatt Thanks for the correction as I didn’t know exactly if I was remembering correctly. Was it Monty Python and Benny Hill on PBS? My family had a 19” B&W that seldom pulled in a clear station because of our location. But the PBS signal (UHF!) tended to be stronger and clearer so I probably conflated the other shows I earlier mentioned with PBS. And yes! Diana Rigg was one of a kind!

[@tltatt]

@@deirdre108 Monty Python didn't appear in the US until the early 70s on PBS stations. I think Benny Hill was also on PBS starting in the 70s but I'm not sure. Doctor Who was available in Canada (CBC) in the 60s but didn't become available in the US until the 70s on PBS.

Sorry I missed the survey. As an 18 year old I'd have taken Ginger. As a grownup I'd marry Mary Ann and have Ginger on the side. Jeannie over Sam for sure because who wants their mother-in-law popping in while you're having a moment? Jeannie wasn't as demanding and was willing to serve as long as you gave her a little attention. Plus she wore those cute little Jeannie outfits. "Your wish is my command, Master." What a gal. A few others: Wilma Flintstone or Betty Rubble? Betty for me. Jane or Judy Jetson? I always liked Jane. Betty or Veronica? Nuts for Veronica but there's always room for Betty in my world. Annette or Sheryl Holdridge? Annette but you couldn't lose with either. Carol Post or Mr. Ed? Depending on my mood. Katie or Barbara Douglas? That's what Rob was thinking. Katie. Jennifer or Bailey? Oh, wow! That's what I said the first time I saw Loni Anderson. But Bailey rocks that nerdy hot stuff well. Eva or Zsa Zsa? Eva for sure but in her prime Zsa Zsa was pretty sharp. Audrey or Judy Landers? Both! Audrey if I had to choose. Cynthia or Yoko? Cyn, a real woman with talent. Thinking of Yoko made me throw up a little in my mouth. Millie or Lou Mallory? Millie for sure. Lou was a beauty but an annoying, pushy feminist. Lucas wouldn't have kept her for long. Agent 99 or Emma Peel? How do you choose? Agent 99 has a nice sense of humor and very loyal. A real keeper. Lassie or the Littlest Hobo? I refuse to make that choice. That's like choosing a favorite child. Mickey Mouse or Rat Fink? Mom thought Big Daddy Roth was a bad influence but turns out RF is a good guy, not the groomer. Patty or Cathy (Patty Duke Show) I prefer the down to earth Cathy to the vacant, teeny bopper Patty.

Later in life I saw a Marx brothers film. That is the source of the strange humor.

The first season produced by Joseph Stefano is the better one. Other than that Mary Anne, Julie Newmar are definitely my favorites though I've always felt kind of sorry for Ginger because I'm pretty sure she's aware that she plays second fiddle to Mary Anne. Maybe she doesn't take it personally but I'm not so sure. I'm talking about Tina Louise of course. She declined to appear in the Gilligan Reunion movies and I wonder why exactly.
