Relive the halcyon days of our youth with TELEVISION GREATS-THE SITCOMS: VOLUME ONE. There
was a time when situation comedies ruled the television airways. After a long day, families would
gather around the single black & white television in their homes and laugh together at comedy shows
of that era. When syndicated television came along, many of these great shows found a second life
and were repeatedly watched by kids when they returned home from school and became cultural
touchstones for multiple generations.
Of course, with great successes come great licensing opportunities. The most popular television shows
were adapted to comic books and regularly appeared on the spinner racks of the day. Dell ComicÕs
anthology series, FOUR COLOR COMICS provided a pathway to test which television series would be
the most profitable to spinoff into their own comic book series. Included in this collection are eight
hysterically funny comic books based on popular television sit-coms. They are: ANDY GRIFFITH from
FOUR COLOR #1341, CAR 54, WHERE ARE YOU? from FOUR COLOR #1257, a selection of stories
featuring the HONEYMOONERS from JACKIE GLEASON issues #1-3 published by ST. JOHN, LEAVE IT TO
BEAVER from FOUR COLOR #1285, Dell Comics' McHALEÕS NAVY #3, MISTER ED, THE TALKING HORSE
from FOUR COLOR #1295, Dell's THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES #1 and THE DANNY THOMAS SHOW from
FOUR COLOR #1249.
