Description: Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is an American public broadcaster and non-commercial television network that launched in 1970. Based in Arlington, Virginia, PBS is a major source of educational programs for public television stations in the U.S. Operating as a private, nonprofit corporation comprised of local public TV stations across the U.S., its programming is produced by member stations, independent producers, and other entities, rather than a central production arm. PBS aims to educate, inspire, and entertain through high-quality programming covering news, science, history, and the arts. This is the logo design that was used between 1971 and 1984, which is probably of the most memorable ones.
Description: On Saturday, January 9, 1971, after weeks of attention-grabbing teasers (like giant chickens fleeing with the host), the Bob Wilkins hosted horror movie program Creature Features debuted on Oakland's KTVU 2 at 9:00 pm. Kicking off with 'The Horror of Party Beach,' the show was an immediate hit and became a ratings winner, so the show expanded to a double feature format on August 7, 1971. While the movies ranged from campy to downright terrible, it was Wilkins' dry wit that made the show work. With his droll humor, omnipresent cigar, and iconic rocking chair, he played the role of an aficionado with a taste for genre cinema. The show was so popular in the Bay Area that it would often beat network programming which probably blew some minds.
Description: Lenny and the Squigtones was a fictional band on the hit TV show Laverne & Shirley, led by beloved recurring characters, Lenny and Squiggy. First appearing on the show itself, the musical duo crossed over into the real world in 1979, releasing an album, embarking on a U.S. tour, and making promotional appearances on local and national TV shows.
Description: Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a short story in Rudyard Kipling's 1894 collection about the adventures of a valiant young Indian grey mongoose in India. Based on the classic mongoose and snake fable, the story has been anthologized and published multiple times, and been made into animated features. This design is based on the 1975 cartoon version that American audiences are most familiar with. The story focuses on an English family living in India who discovers a mongoose residing on the estate. They decide to keep him as a pet, in the hopes that he will keep them safe from the many cobras that live in the surrounding jungle. Their new pet quickly begins earning his keep, as two cobras make the family their new target.
Description: The Point is a cartoon fable first aired February 2, 1971, and was the first animated feature ever to air in prime time on US television. The Point tells the story of a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where the law says that everyone and everything must have a point. The film is an allegory showing how society rejects people and ideas that are different from the norm, and makes this point over and over again throughout. Long story short, be yourself!
Description: The Bugaloos was a live-action American children's television series that aired on Saturday mornings from 1970 to 1972, with reruns of the show airing in daily syndication from 1978 to 1985. The show takes place in the fantasy setting of Tranquility Forest. The central characters are four British teenage musicians who've formed a pop band named the Bugaloos. The foursome is evidently fictional human-bug hybrids. While occasionally seen air-surfing on leaves, they more usually fly unaided. On the ground, the Bugaloos are sometimes seen traveling around in their "Bugaloo Buggy," a colorful dune buggy. Peace-loving and hippie-like, the Bugaloos are pursued by the feathered yet flightless Benita Bizarre, who envies the Bugaloos' ability to fly.
Description: Sigmund the Sea Monster was the lovable title character from the 1973 children’s television series Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. The show followed Sigmund, a friendly young sea monster who was different from the rest of his mischievous monster family because he preferred making friends with humans instead of scaring them. After being rejected by his meaner brothers, Slurp and Burp, Sigmund befriended two brothers, Johnny and Scott, who hide him in their clubhouse and help keep his existence a secret. Mixing slapstick comedy, colorful costumes, and a fun fantasy style, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters became a memorable part of Saturday morning television in the '70s, celebrating friendship, kindness, and the idea that being different is cool.
Description: A spin-off of Happy Days, the sitcom Laverne & Shirley followed the lives of Laverne DeFazio and Shirley Feeney, two friends and roommates who work as bottle-cappers in the fictitious Shotz Brewery in late '50s Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Shotz is said to be a nod to Schlitz, the Milwaukee brewery that was founded in 1849. The Laverne & Shirley series ran for eight seasons January 27, 1976, to May 10, 1983.

Description: There are entire generations out there who have no idea that there used to be dedicated TV stores that literally sold nothing but televisions and television accessories. From furniture like cabinet based models to and early big screen projection sets to compact counter top sets and early portable models, these local stores were the place to go if you needed a new TV, one of those fancy new video cassette recorders, or a satellite dish bigger than your car. Located in Downtown Jacksonville, Florida, Television City of was one of these stores, and if you listened to their TV and radio spots, they were THE place to go for a new set.
