Good Morning World

The veteran producers of Dick Van Dyke had a hand in doing this show. They did a great job. The entire cast of the show was really solid. If you want a prime example of how hot Goldie Hawn was as a young woman, this series really shows her off. This was before Laugh-In.

Billy De Wolf was an excellent Station Manager for this show. His mannerisms on this show were borrowed by Pat Paulsen when he was doing sketches on the Smothers Brothers Comedy hour. De Wolfs character is a classic.

Jodie Baker & Ronnie Schell really complemented each other well on the show as the morning DJ's who were always getting into trouble. I wish the ratings had kept this show on longer. It was the best sitcom on CBS during its short run.

CBS remembered it well as they took the format for this series, tweaked it, & brought it back as WKRP In Cincinnati. When you watch this, it is very obvious where the latter show had its roots. WKRP was a great show in its own right, & lasted longer, but without this show, there would have been no WKRP.

If you see this show anyplace, pick it up. Good Morning World is a 1960's classic. The introduction of each episode has a 1960's flair with the fast shower, shave, & freeway trip to work.

This was a funny show that didn't try too hard to get laughs. Clever idea at the time, two morning show DJs, life at work and home.Seeing the pre-Laugh In Goldie Hawn is a real kick, too.Give this one a try.

It seemed the show was mainly about Dave's and Larry's personal lives and hardly anything about their radio show or the station they worked at unlike WKRP years later.

It's hard to add much to what's already been said about this show. All I have to say is, it was cute, clever, smart and entertaining.

Billie De Wolf was perfect as the uptight boss with A.R. (anal retentiveness). Pencil thin mustache and whiny voice. Scowly eyebrows.

Joby Gray was great. I remember one episode where the two DJs were hosting a fund raiser and he kept trying to sing his "Banana" song.

Speaking of songs, the opening sequence with the "ting ting ting" sound along with the conglomeration of still photos in succession of the two DJs getting ready for an early morning radio show was very entertaining in itself.

Joby and Ronnie Schell played well off of each other. I can't understand why it was canceled after so few episodes.

Thanks to the magic of DVD. I get to see this charm of a show. My guess is that it was deemed too controversial from this time. As hectic as the 60s were , from a historical perspective... Sexual Revolution, Vietnam, Civil rights coming to forefront , Communism in our backyard, Drugs , Hippies etc. Really a time of uneasiness. The one thing everyday Americans can count on was good wholesome LEAVE IT TO BEAVERISH TV. This show , though a nice show , certainly by todays standards , reeked of sexual tension from the 60s standards. TV was a safe haven to forget about the world and hideaway so to speak in a turtles shell. This show , though subtly managed to cause unrest in the uptight. I would venture to say this show was a sacrifice with more risqué TV to come. The acting was good and this was a reminder of the Dick Van Dyke Show... with Laura Petrie turned up a notch in the character of Sandy-Goldie Hawn.Translation- This is the Dick Van Dyke Show with shorter skirts and steamier conversation. Reminding me today of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM being similar to SEINFELD , with the same writing style of Larry David. Carl Reiner wrote differently than Larry David Obviously. But both managed to be consistent with the style they did use. Its a shame though that this show only lasted one season . I will cherish every episode.
