Doraemon (ドラえもん Doraemon?) is a Japanese manga series created by Fujiko Fujio, which later became an anime series and an Asianfranchise. The series is about a robotic cat named Doraemon, who travels back in time from the 22nd century to aid a pre-teen boy called Nobita Nobi (野比 のび太 Nobi Nobita?).
The series first appeared in December 1969, when it was published simultaneously in six different magazines. A total of 1,344 stories were created in the original series, which are published by Shogakukan under the Tentōmushi (てんとう虫?) manga brand, extending to forty-five volumes. The volumes are collected in the Takaoka Central Library in Toyama, Japan, where Fujiko Fujio was born. Turner Broadcasting Systembought the rights to the Doraemon anime series in the mid-1980s for a US English-language release, but canceled it without explanation before broadcasting any episodes. In July 2013 it was announced that the manga would be released digitally in English via the Amazon Kindle e-bookservice.
Most of Doraemon episodes are comedies with lessons regarding values such as honesty, perseverance, courage, and respect. Various environmental issues are often visited, including homeless animals, global warming, endangered species, deforestation, and pollution. Miscellaneous educational topics such as dinosaurs, the flat Earth theory, wormhole traveling, Gulliver's Travels, and the history of Japan are often covered.
Awards for "Doraemon" include the Japan Cartoonists Association Award for excellence in 1973, the first Shogakukan Manga Award for children's manga in 1982, and the first Osamu Tezuka Culture Award in 1997. In March 2008 Japan's Foreign Ministry appointed Doraemon as the nation's first "anime ambassador." Ministry spokesman explained the novel decision as an attempt to help people in other countries understand Japanese anime better and to deepen their interest in Japanese culture." The Foreign Ministry action confirms that Doraemon has come to be considered a Japanese cultural icon. In 2002 the anime character was acclaimed as an "Asian Hero" in a special feature survey conducted byTime Asia magazine.
Mickey Mouse (originally Mickey Mouse Sound Cartoons) is a character-based series of animated short films produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. The films, which introduced Disney's most famous cartoon character, were released on a regular basis from 1928 to 1953 with additional one-off shorts produced between 1983 and 2013. The series is notable for its innovation with sound synchronization and character animation, and also introduced several well-known supporting characters such as Minnie Mouse, Pluto, and Goofy.
The name "Mickey Mouse" was first used in the films' title sequences to refer specifically to the character, but was used from 1935 to 1953 to refer to the series itself as in "Walt Disney presents a Mickey Mouse". In this sense, "a Mickey Mouse" was truncated from "a Mickey Mouse sound cartoon" which was used in the earliest films. Films from 1929 to 1935 which were re-released during this time also used this naming convention. Mickey's name was also used occasionally to market other films which were formally part of other series. Examples of this include several Silly Symphonies,Don Donald (1937), and Goofy and Wilbur (1939)
Donald Fauntleroy Duck or Donald Duck is a funny animal cartoon character created in 1934 at Walt Disney Productions. Donald is ananthropomorphic white duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He typically wears a sailor suit with a cap and a black or red bow tie. Donald is most famous for his semi-intelligible speech and his mischievous and irritable personality. Along with his friend Mickey Mouse, Donald is one of the most popular Disney characters and was included in TV Guide's list of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all time in 2002. He has appeared in more films than any other Disney character, listed as appearing in approximately 178 theatrical films compared to Mickey Mouse's 137, and is the fifth most published comic book character in the world after Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and Wolverine.
Donald Duck rose to fame with his comedic roles in animated cartoons. His distinctive voice was created by Clarence Nash, who performed the role for 50 years. Donald's first appearance was in The Wise Little Hen (1934), but it was his second appearance in Orphan's Benefit which introduced him as a temperamental comic foil to Mickey Mouse. Donald had his own show. Throughout the next two decades Donald appeared in over 150 theatrical films, several of which were recognized at the Academy Awards. In the 1930s he typically appeared as part of a comic trio with Mickey and Goofy and was given his own film series in 1937, starting with Don Donald. These films introduced Donald's girlfriend Daisy Duck and sometimes featured his three nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie. After the 1956 film Chips Ahoy, Donald appeared primarily in educational films before eventually returning to theatrical animation in Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983). His most recent appearance in a theatrical film was 1999'sFantasia 2000. Donald has also appeared in direct-to-video features such as Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas (1999) and The Three Musketeers(2004) as well as television programs such as DuckTales (1987–1990), Quack Pack (1996), and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (2006–present).
Beyond animation Donald is primarily known for his appearances in comics, both in newspaper strips and comic books. Donald was most famously drawn by Al Taliaferro, Carl Barks, and Don Rosa. Barks in particular is credited for greatly expanding the "duck universe", the world in which Donald lives, and creating many additional characters such as Donald's maternal uncle Scrooge McDuck. Today Donald is a very popular character in Europe, particularly in the Low Countries and Scandinavian countries where his weekly magazine has remained the most popular comics publication for over 50 years. Disney comics' fandom is sometimes referred to as "Donaldism", a term which originated in Norway. (Norwegian: Donaldisme) He has also made video game appearances, such as QuackShot (1991), Goin' Quackers (2000), and Kingdom Hearts(2002).
Candy Candy (キャンディ・キャンディ Kyandi Kyandi?) is a Japanese novel, manga, and anime series. The main character, Candice "Candy" White Ardlay is a blonde girl with freckles, large emerald green eyes and long, curly hair, worn in pigtails with bows. Candy Candy first appeared in a prose novel by famed Japanese writer Kyoko Mizuki in April 1975. When Mizuki joined forces with manga artist Yumiko Igarashi, the Japanese magazineNakayoshi became interested in Candy Candy. The series was serialized as a manga series in the magazine for four years and won the 1stKodansha Manga Award for shōjo in 1977. The story was adapted into an anime series by Toei Animation. There are also several Candy Candymovies which were never released outside of Japan.
Happy Days is an American television sitcom that aired first-run from January 15, 1974 to September 24, 1984 on ABC. Created by Garry Marshall, the series presents an idealized vision of life in the mid-1950s to mid-1960s United States.
The series was produced by Miller-Milkis Productions (Miller-Milkis-Boyett Productions in later years) and Henderson Productions in association with Paramount Network Television.
Set in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the series revolves around teenager Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard) and his family: his father, Howard (Tom Bosley), who owns a hardware store; traditional homemaker and mother, Marion (Marion Ross); younger sister Joanie (Erin Moran); and high school dropout, biker and suave ladies' man Arthur "Fonzie"/"The Fonz" Fonzarelli (Henry Winkler), who would eventually become the Cunninghams' upstairs tenant. The earlier episodes revolve around Richie and his friends, Warren "Potsie" Weber (Anson Williams) and Ralph Malph (Donny Most), with Fonzie as a secondary character. However, as the series progressed, Fonzie proved to be a favorite with viewers and soon more story lines were written to reflect his growing popularity, and Winkler was eventually credited with top billing in the opening credits alongside Howard as a result.[2] Fonzie befriended Richie and the Cunningham family, and when Richie left the series for military service, Fonzie became the central figure of the show, with Winkler receiving sole top billing in the opening credits. In later seasons, other characters were introduced including Fonzie's young cousin, Charles "Chachi" Arcola (Scott Baio), who became a love interest for Joanie Cunningham.
The series' pilot was originally shown as "Love and the Happy Days," a one-episode teleplay on the anthology series Love, American Style. Happy Days spawned the hit television shows Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy as well as two failures, Joanie Loves Chachi and Blansky's Beauties(the latter featuring Nancy Walker as Howard's cousin). The show is the basis for the Happy Days musical touring the United States since 2008. The leather jacket worn by Winkler during the series hangs in the Smithsonian Institution.
Superman is a fictional character, a superhero that appears in comic books published by DC Comics, and is considered an American cultural icon. Superman was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, high school students living in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1933; the character was sold to Detective Comics, Inc. (later DC Comics) in 1938. Superman first appeared in Action Comics #1 (June 1938) and subsequently appeared in various radio serials, television programs, films, newspaper strips, and video games. With the success of his adventures, Superman helped to create the superhero genre and establish its primacy within the American comic book.
Superman's appearance is distinctive and iconic. He usually wears a blue costume, red cape, and stylized red-and-yellow "S" shield on his chest. This shield is used in a myriad of media to symbolize the character.
The origin story of Superman relates that he was born Kal-El on the planet Krypton, before being rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father Jor-El, moments before Krypton's destruction. Discovered and adopted by a Kansas farmer and his wife, the child is raised as Clark Kentand imbued with a strong moral compass. Very early on he started to display superhuman abilities, which upon reaching maturity, he resolved to use for the benefit of humanity. Superman resides and operates in the fictional American city of Metropolis. As Clark Kent, he is a journalist for the Daily Planet, a Metropolis newspaper. Superman's archenemy is supervillain Lex Luthor. Superman has fascinated scholars, with cultural theorists, commentators, and critics alike exploring the character's impact and role in the United States and worldwide. The character's ownership has often been the subject of dispute, with Siegel and Shuster twice suing for the return of legal ownership. Superman placed first onIGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes in May 2011.
Taxi is an American sitcom that originally aired from 1978 to 1982 on ABC and from 1982 to 1983 on NBC. The series, which won 18 Emmy Awards, including three for "Outstanding Comedy Series", focuses on the everyday lives of a handful of New York City taxi drivers and their abusivedispatcher. The series, produced by the John Charles Walters Company, in association with Paramount Network Television, was created by James L. Brooks, Stan Daniels, David Davis, and Ed. Weinberger.
Premise and themes
The show focuses on the employees of the fictional Sunshine Cab Company, and its principal setting is the company's fleet garage in Manhattan. Among the drivers, only Alex Rieger, who is disillusioned with life, considers cab-driving his profession. The others view it as a temporary job that they can leave behind after they succeed in their chosen careers.
Elaine Nardo is a receptionist at an art gallery. Tony Banta is a boxer with a losing record. Bobby Wheeler is a struggling actor. John Burns (written out of the show after the first season) was working his way through college. All take pity on "Reverend Jim" Ignatowski, an aging hippie minister, who is burnt out from drugs, so they help him become a cabbie. The characters also included Latka Gravas, their innocently wide-eyed mechanic from an unnamed foreign country, and Louie De Palma, the despotic dispatcher.
A number of episodes involve a character having an opportunity to realize his or her dream to move up in the world, only to see it yanked away. Otherwise, the cabbies deal on a daily basis with their unsatisfying lives and with Louie DePalma, their cruel dispatcher. Louie's assistant, Jeff Bennett, is rarely heard from at first, but his role increases in later seasons.
Sunshine Cab goes through a change of owners. They are referred to, but seldom seen: Ed McKenzie (who appears in one episode, played byStephen Elliott), and, later, Ben Ratlidge (who is also only seen in one episode, played by Allen Garfield).
Despite the zany humor of the show, Taxi often tackled such dramatic issues as drug addiction, single parenthood, blindness, obesity, animal abuse, bisexuality, teenage runaways, failed marriage, nuclear war, sexual harassment, pre-menstrual mood disorders, gambling addiction, and the loss of a loved one.
The A-Team is an American action-adventure television series, running from 1983 to 1987, about a fictional group of ex–United States Army Special Forces personnel who work as soldiers of fortune, while on the run from the Army after being branded as war criminals for a "crime they didn't commit". A feature film based on the series was released by 20th Century Fox on June 11, 2010. A comic book series, A-Team: Shotgun Wedding,began March 9, 2010.
History
The A-Team was created by writers and producers Stephen J. Cannell and Frank Lupo at the behest of Brandon Tartikoff, NBC's Entertainment president. Cannell was fired from ABC in the early 1980s, after failing to produce a hit show for the network, and was hired by NBC; his first project was the The A-Team. Brandon Tartikoff pitched the series to Cannell as a combination of The Dirty Dozen, Mission Impossible, The Magnificent Seven, Mad Max and Hill Street Blues, with "Mr. T driving the car."
The A-Team was not generally expected to become a hit, although Stephen J. Cannell has said that George Peppard suggested it would be a huge hit "before we ever turned on a camera." The show became very popular; the first regular episode, which aired after Super Bowl XVII on January 30, 1983, reached 26.4% of the television audience, placing fourth in the top 10 Nielsen-rated shows.
The A-Team was always portrayed as acting on the side of good and helping the oppressed. Cannell was known for having a particular skill at capitalizing on momentary cultural trends, such as the helicopters, machine guns, cartoonish violence, and joyful militarism of this series, which are now recognizable as trademarks of popular entertainment in the 1980s as seen in the TV shows Magnum, P.I. and Airwolf as well as the filmsRambo: First Blood Part II and The Final Countdown.
The show remains prominent in popular culture for its cartoonish, over-the-top violence (in which people were seldom seriously hurt), formulaic episodes, its characters' ability to form weaponry and vehicles out of old parts, and its distinctive theme tune. The show boosted the career of Mr. T, who portrayed the character of B. A. Baracus, around whom the show was initially conceived. Some of the show's catchphrases, such as "I love it when a plan comes together," "Hannibal's on the jazz", "I pity the fool", and "I ain't gettin' on no plane!" have also made their way onto T-shirts and other merchandise.
The show's name comes from the "A-Teams," the nickname coined for U.S. Special Forces' Operational Detachments Alpha (ODA) during the Vietnam War, although this connection was never referenced on-screen.
In 2003, in research conducted by web-portal Yahoo! amongst 1,000 television viewers, The A-Team was voted as the one "oldie" television show viewers would most like to see revived, beating out other popular televisions series from the 1980s such as The Dukes of Hazzard and Knight Rider.
Quantum Leap is an American television series that was broadcast on NBC from March 26, 1989 to May 5, 1993, for a total of five seasons. The series was created by Donald P. Bellisario, and starred Scott Bakula as Dr. Sam Beckett, a quantum physicist from the near future who becomes lost in time following a time travel experiment, temporarily taking the places of other people to "put right what once went wrong". Dean Stockwell co-starred as Al Calavicci, Sam's womanizing, cigar-smoking sidekick and best friend, who appeared as a hologram that only Sam, animals, young children, and the mentally ill could see and hear. The series featured a mix of humor, drama and melodrama, social commentary, nostalgia, and science fiction, which won it a broad range of fans. One of its trademarks is that at the end of each episode, Sam "leaps" into the setting for the next episode, usually uttering a dismayed "Oh, boy!"
Despite struggling on Friday nights in its brief first season, the show was renewed by NBC because of its impressive 18-49 demographics. The series was moved to Wednesdays where it performed well in comparison to other fan-favorite series Wiseguy and China Beach. It was moved twice away from Wednesdays to Fridays in late 1990 and to Tuesdays in late 1992 where it also performed well. The series finale aired in its successful Wednesday slot in May 1993.
In 2004 and 2007, Quantum Leap was ranked #15 and #19 on TV Guide's "Top Cult Shows Ever".
Jungle Jim is a 26-episode syndicated adventure television series which aired from 1955 till 1956, starring Johnny Weismuller, as Jim "Jungle Jim" Bradley, a hunter, guide, and explorer in, primarily, Africa. The program should not be confused with Ramar of the Jungle, but is based on the Jungle Jim comic strip created by Alex Raymond and Don Moore. Starring with Weismuller were Martin Huston as Jungle Jim's teenage son, Skipper;Dean Fredericks (also known as Norman Fredric) as Haseem, the Hindu manservant, and Neal, a chimpanzee from the World Jungle Compound, as Tamba. Paul Cavanagh played Commissioner Morrison in nine episodes.
Produced by Harold Greene, the series was filmed by Screen Gems (now Sony Pictures Television), a subsidiary of Columbia Pictures. The program aired in 158 American media markets and in thirty-eight other nations.[4]Earl Bellamy directed the first four episodes of the new series.[5] The series capitalized on the popularity of Weismuller, who had just completed his last film of Tarzan,[4] the jungle character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Jungle Jim was a low-budget offering that relied heavily on stock footage and was not renewed beyond its original episodes.
According to his mother, Marcella Martin Huston, then 14-year-old Martin Huston, known as Marty, played with Tamba during breaks on the set, and the chimp was most protective of him. During the filming of a scene in which the villain seized Skipper from the bushes, the chimp began to pound the villain on his helmet. Earl Bellamy recalls the series opener, "Man Killer", in which the chimp was to fire a rifle. The trainer was to work with the chimp for a week. When the animal picked up the rifle, it went haywire. Having smelled the gunpowder, Tamba leaped into the rafters of the stage. With editing, the scene was still preserved.

The book was later made into a film in 1987 (also called The Untouchables) by Brian De Palma, with a script by David Mamet, and a second less successful TV series in 1993.
A powerful, hard-hitting crime drama, The Untouchables won series star Robert Stack an Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Dramatic Series in 1960 .

Si Unyil adalah film seri televisi Indonesia produksi PPFN yang mengudara setiap hari Minggu pagi di stasiun TVRI dimulai pada tanggal 5 April 1981 sampai 1993, Minggu pagi di stasiun RCTIdimulai pada tanggal 21 April 2002 hingga awal 2003 dan berpindah ke TPI pada medio 2003 hingga akhir 2003 setiap Minggu pukul 16.30 WIB sebelum program berita Lintas 5. Si Unyil ini diciptakan oleh Suyadi.
Tokoh Unyil, Ucrit, dan UsroKetiga karakter ini merupakan karakter utama dalam film Si UnyilPak Radenia memiliki karakter jawa yang kental. Kain beskap berwarna hitam lengkap dengan blangkon dan tongkat dengan pegangan mirip gagang payung dan disertai dengan kumis tebal yang melintang merupakan ciri khas Pak Raden. Segala sesuatu yang dikerjakan selalu mengacu pada primbon kesayangan nya. Selalu berusaha menghindar bila ada kerjabakti di desa Sukamaju dengan alasan penyakit encoknya kambuh.
Tokoh Pak Raden ini juga memiliki sifat yang pelit terhadap tetangganya, sehingga seringkali buah mangganya dicuri oleh Pak Ogah. Seperti halnya kebanyakan tokoh yang memiliki darah biru, Pak Raden juga memelihara burung perkutut serta memiliki bakat seni lukis yang mumpuni. Pak Raden juga mempunyai tawa khas yang menggelegar. Selain itu pula sifat jelek Pak Raden adalah cepat naik darah alias pemarah.
Pak OgahIa dikenal sebagai seorang tunakarya yang kepalanya gundul dan kerjanya sehari-hari adalah duduk di pos ronda dan meminta uang dari orang-orang yang lewat.Dua kalimat Pak Ogah yang paling terkenal adalah, "Ogah, aah" dan "Cepek dulu dong." Ogah adalah bahasa sehari-hari untuk mengatakan "tidak", biasanya karena kemalasan. Misalnya apabila seseorang diajak temannya untuk pergi ke suatu tempat, tapi ia ingin tinggal di rumah, ia dapat berkata, "Ogah, aah." Perlu diperhatikan bahwa kata "ogah" ini memiliki konotasi kurang sopan bila digunakan kepada orang yang lebih tua atau lebih tinggi status sosialnya."Cepek" sebenarnya berarti seratus, diserap dari dialek Hokkian dan dalam hal ini adalah satu keping uang logam seratus Rupiah.
Pak Ogah dalam film seri biasanya hanya mengijinkan orang lewat di depan pos rondanya bila mereka memberinya seratus rupiah atau cepek terlebih dahulu.Karena ketenaran seri Si Unyil, kata Pak Ogah kemudian memasuki wahana populer dan menjadi istilah umum untuk menyebut semua tunakarya yang lebih senang bermalas-malasan atau melakukan pekerjaan ringan.
Misalnya di perempatan jalan yang sibuk, sering kali karena satu alasan atau yang lain tidak ada petugas polisi yang mengatur lalu-lintas, seseorang yang bukan petugas polisi namun kemudian mengatur arus kendaraan dan meminta uang sebagai imbalan sering disebut "Pak Ogah".Tokoh-tokoh lain

Sebagian waktunya kini dihabiskan untuk melukis. Itulah Hoegeng,
jenderal polisi purnawirawan, yang pernah membongkar kasus
penyelundupan mobil mewah semasa menjabat Kapolri. Ia kini tampak
gemuk.
Dulu, ia biasa dipanggil ''Bugel'' karena badannya tambun. Lalu jadi
Bugeng, akhirnya Hoegeng sampai sekarang. Ayahnya, Sukarjo
Karjohatmojo, seorang hoofd Jaksa, sering mengajak Hoegeng kecil ke
rumah -- yang sengaja didirikan ayahnya -- untuk orang-orang miskin
dan telantar. Lalu ayahnya membisikkan, ''Kelak, bila kau jadi orang
berpangkat dan berkuasa, ingatlah: kekuasaan itu laksana pedang
bermata dua.''
Lulus MULO di Pekalongan, dan AMS di Yogyakarta, ia memulai kariernya
menjadi agen polisi. Sebelumnya, ia sempat kuliah di Fakultas Hukum,
di Batavia -- kini Jakarta.
Ia pula yang pertama mencetuskan ide memakai helm, serta anjuran kaki
mengangkang bagi pembonceng sepeda motor. ''Bukan apa-apa. Aspal lebih
keras daripada kepala manusia,'' katanya. Kritik gencar dilancarkan,
dan ia gagal karena keburu pensiun.
Memasuki masa pensiun, ia tidak punya simpanan apa pun. Rumah, mobil,
datang sebagai hadiah tanpa diminta. Ia pun menolak menjadi duta besar
di Belgia, karena merasa tidak cocok, dan lebih suka tinggal di negeri
sendiri. Menyukai musik irama Lautan Teduh sejak muda, Hoegeng lalu
mendirikan grup musik The Hawaiian Senior, 1975. Bersama istri dan
rekan- rekannya, lagu ''Aloha'' sering berkumandang melalui TVRI. Gema
irama Lautan Teduh itu lalu dilarang, sebab dianggap bukan musik
Indonesia.
Selain Kapolri, ia pernah menjabat Kepala Jawatan Imigrasi RI,
Menteri Iuran Negara, dan Menteri Sekretaris Kabinet Inti/Presidium
Kabinet Dwikora. Ia juga termasuk penandatangan Petisi 50.
Menikah dengan Marie Roselina, ia dikaruniai tiga anak. Selain
melukis, kini ia tercatat sebagai anggota ORARI. Hobinya menyanyi
masih terus dilanjutkannya. ''Di kamar mandi,'' katanya sembari
tertawa.
Kenaikan uang pensiun membawa kebahagiaan tersendiri baginya. ''Saya
ini sudah tua. Untuk melukis terus-menerus, hasilnya tak akan sebanyak
dulu,'' katanya. Tetapi, ''Kita pun harus sadar menghadapi kenyataan
dan pasrah kepada Tuhan,'' ia menambahkan.[]
Dari Siaran Radio Amatir ke TVRI
Kisah ini berawal ketika operator radio amatir mulai menjamur di Indonesia, khususnya Jakarta. Pada tahun 1967, putra Komodor Suyoso Karsono ( Mas Yos ) yang bernama Didi saat itu memiliki pemancar radio amatir. Karena Mas Yos menganggapnya lagu-lagu yang disiarkan terlalu berisik, maka beliau mengambil alih pemancar tersebut ; Mas Yos bertindak sebagai operator sekaligus penyiarnya, serta memberi nama radio tersebut sesuai nama putri bungsu beliau, Elshinta. Sebagai mantan pemain grup Hawaiian asal Semarang yang bernama Lieve Souvenirs ( 1938 ), beliau kerap memutar lagu-lagu Hawaiian melalui Radio Elshinta.
Suatu pagi, ketika sedang menyapu halaman rumah, Willy Pesik, mendengar suara Mas Yos melalui radio. Suara tersebut tak lain adalah suara kawan lamanya. Demikian juga The Singing General Hœgeng Iman Santoso yang akhirnya pada suatu malam mengunjungi "studio" radio tersebut sambil membawa 'ukulele. Di muka corong Elshinta, sementara Mas Yos yang memainkan gitar berduet dengan beliau yang memainkan 'ukulelenya, hingga akhirnya tercetus ide untuk mengumpulkan para musisi, khususnya yang pernah berkecimpung dalam grup band irama Lautan Teduh, antara tahun 1930-1950. Alhasil, mereka berkumpul pada suatu hari di bulan Maret 1967 di kediaman Mas Yos ( Jalan Besuki ). Dari reuni akbar yang antara lain dihadiri oleh Willy Pesik, yang akhirnya menjadi pembaca acara (MC) di televisi dan penyanyi keroncong Bram "Atjeh" Titaley, lahirlah kelompok The Elshinta Hawaiian Seniors sekaligus jingle grup musik mereka yang berjudul 'Ukulele Girl. Maka kembalilah Oom Hœgeng menyanyikan lagu dan memainkan alat-alat musik khas irama Lautan Teduh, setelah lebih dari 2 dasawarsa, tidak berkecimpung dalam musik Hawaiian ( salah satu alasannya adalah karena beliau sempat menduduki beberapa jabatan penting, termasuk selaku Kapolri ). Mengapa ada kata "seniors" pada nama grup musik tersebut ? " Karena para pemainnya sudah "jenggotan" semua," ujar Oom Hœgeng, ketika sang Sesepuh menjadi tamu dalam acara Gebyar Hawaiian di TVRI bulan November 1998, 31 tahun setelah lahirnya kelompok musik yang beranggotakan para oom ( atau sekarang lebih tepat disebut para opa ) tersebut.
Acara musik Irama Lautan Teduh di TVRI dimulai pada tahun 1968, ketika TVRI meminta sendiri acara yang biasanya disiarkan melalui Radio Elshinta tersebut untuk mengisi program penayangannya. Maka jadilah acara yang diisi oleh grup musik Hawaiian pimpinan ( mantan ) Komodor Suyoso tersebut dengan frekuensi penayangan sebulan sekali.
Setelah kurang lebih 8 tahun mengudara, Mas Yos mengundurkan diri sebagai pimpinan The Elshinta Hawaiian Seniors dan Oom Hœgeng pun didaulat oleh para musisi lainnya untuk memimpin grup musik mereka. Kata "Elshinta" dihapus dan sejak tanggal 9 Maret 1976, grup musik yang beranggotakan para senior itu bernama The Hawaiian Seniors. Lagu berjudul 'Ukulele Girl pun tak lagi terdengar sebagai lagu pembukaan, tetapi sebagai gantinya mereka mendendangkan lagu The Hawaiian Seniors' Call.

The Lucy Show is an American sitcom that aired on CBS from 1962–68. It was Lucille Ball's follow-up to I Love Lucy. A significant change in cast and premise for the 1965–66 season divides the program into two distinct eras; aside from Ball, only Gale Gordon, who joined the program for its second season, remained. For the first three seasons, Vivian Vance was the co-star.
The earliest scripts were entitled The Lucille Ball Show, but when this title was declined, producers thought of calling the show This Is Lucy or The New Adventures of Lucy, before deciding on the title The Lucy Show. Ball won consecutive Emmy Awards as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for the series' final two seasons, 1966–67 and 1967–68.
The Magician is an American television series that ran during the 1973–1974 season. It starred Bill Bixby as stage illusionist Anthony "Tony" Blake, a playboy philanthropist who used his skills to solve difficult crimes as needed. In the series pilot, the character was instead named Anthony Dorian. The name change was due to a conflict with the name of a real life stage magician.
The Flintstones is an animated, prime-time American television sitcom that was broadcast from September 30, 1960, to April 1, 1966, on ABC. The show was produced by Hanna-Barbera. The Flintstones was about a working-class Stone Age man's life with his family and his next-door neighbor and best friend.
The show's continuing popularity rested heavily on its juxtaposition of modern everyday concerns in the Stone Age setting. The Flintstoneswas the most financially successful network animated franchise for three decades, until The Simpsons debuted.
The Lone Ranger is an American western television series starring Clayton Moore (John Hart from 1952 to 1954) and Jay Silverheels as Tonto. The live-action series initially featured Gerald Mohr as the episode narrator. Fred Foy served as both narrator and announcer of the radio series from 1948 to its finish and became announcer of the television version when story narration was dropped there. This was by far the highest-rated television program on the ABC network in the early 1950s and its first true "hit".
Police Story is an anthology television crime drama that aired on NBC from 1973 through 1978. The show was the brainchild of author and former policeman Joseph Wambaugh and represented a major step forward in the realistic depiction of police work and violence on network TV. It was produced by David Gerber and Mel Swope.
Although it was an anthology, there were certain things that all episodes had in common; for instance, the main character in each episode was a police officer. The setting was always Los Angeles and the characters always worked for some branch of the LAPD. Notwithstanding the anthology format, there were recurring characters. Scott Brady appeared in more than a dozen episodes as "Vinnie," a former cop who, upon retirement, had opened a bar catering to police officers, and who acted as a sort of Greek chorus during the run of the series, commenting on the characters and plots. Tony Lo Bianco and Don Meredith made several appearances as Robbery-Homicide Division partners Tony Calabrese and Bert Jameson. Other recurring characters included surveillance specialist Joe LaFrieda, played by Vic Morrow, and vice officer turned homicide detective Charlie Czonka, played by James Farentino. Chuck Connors also starred in various episodes.
The anthology format allowed the show to try out characters and settings for series development, and, during its broadcast run, Police Story generated three spin-offs. A first-season episode, "The Gamble," starring Angie Dickinson, became the pilot for the successful Police Woman series, which ran from 1974-1978. "The Return of Joe Forrester," a second-season episode starring Lloyd Bridges, was developed into the weekly series Joe Forrester. Finally, "A Chance to Live," a special episode from the fifth season starring David Cassidy, was spun off into the series Man Undercover. That series didn't do as well, and lasted only ten episodes.
In later seasons, perhaps because of the expense of maintaining the anthology format on a weekly basis, Police Story became a series of irregularly scheduled TV movies.
Police Story was a precursor to later shows such as NBC's Hill Street Blues (1981-1987), Law & Order (1990-2010), ABC's NYPD Blue and NBC's Homicide: Life on the Street (both latters started in 1993).

Lassie is an American television series that follows the adventures of a female Rough Collie dog named Lassie and her companions, human and animal. The show was the creation of producer Robert Maxwell and animal trainer Rudd Weatherwax and was televised from September 12, 1954, to March 24, 1973. One of the longest-running series on television, the show chalked up seventeen seasons on CBS before entering first-run syndicationfor its final two seasons. Initially filmed in black and white, the show transitioned to color during 1965.
The show's first ten seasons follow Lassie's adventures in a small farming community. Fictional eleven-year-old Jeff Miller, his mother, and his grandfather are Lassie's first human companions until seven-year-old Timmy Martin and his adoptive parents take over in the fourth season. When Lassie's exploits on the farm end in the eleventh season, she finds new adventures in the wilderness with a succession of United States Forest Service Rangers. After traveling without human leads for a year, Lassie finally settles at a children's home for her final two syndicated seasons.
Lassie received critical favor at its debut and won two Emmy Awards in its first years. Stars Jan Clayton and June Lockhart were nominated for Emmys. Merchandise produced during the show's run included books, a Halloween costume, clothing, toys, and other items. Campbell's Soup, the show's lifelong sponsor, offered two premiums (a ring and a wallet), and distributed thousands to fans. A multi-part episode was edited into the feature film Lassie's Great Adventure and released in August 1963. In 1989, the television series The New Lassie brought Lassie star Jon Provost back to television as Steve McCullough. Selected episodes have been released to DVD.
The Persuaders! is a 1971 action/adventure series, produced by ITC Entertainment for initial broadcast on ITV and ABC.

The Persuaders Series was filmed in France, Italy and England between May 1970 and June 1971.
Despite its focus on the British and American markets, the show was popular elsewhere. It won its highest awards from Australia and Spain,while Roger Moore and Tony Curtis were decorated in Germany and France for their acting. It persists in the memory of European filmmakers and audiences, having been casually referenced in 21st century productions from Sweden, France, Britain and Germany.

The Protectorsis a British television series, an action thriller created by Gerry Anderson. It was Anderson's second TV series using live actors as opposed to electronic marionettes, and also his second to be firmly set in contemporary times (following The Secret Service). It was also the only Gerry Anderson produced television series that was not of the fantasy or science fiction genres. It was produced by Lew Grade's ITC Entertainmentproduction company. Despite not featuring marionettes or any real science fiction elements, The Protectors became one of Anderson's most popular productions, easily winning a renewal for a second season. A third season was in the planning stages when the show's major sponsor pulled out, forcing its cancellation.
The Protectors first aired in 1972 and 1973, and ran to 52 episodes over two series, each 25 minutes long - making it one of the last series of this type to be produced in a half-hour format. It starred Robert Vaughn (of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. fame) as Harry Rule, Nyree Dawn Porter (The Forsyte Saga) as the Contessa Caroline di Contini, and Tony Anholt (Space: 1999, Howard's Way) as Paul Buchet.

It was also rerun as part of the continuing series Hanna-Barbera's World of Super Adventure.
Through a series of transactions, Disney currently holds the rights to the majority of Marvel's 1960s-1990s animated output. However, the 1967-1968Fantastic Four was produced by Hanna-Barbera, whose library is now owned by Time Warner, making the series one of only a handful of Marvel-related TV projects not owned by Disney (which has since acquired Marvel outright). Time Warner is also the owner of Marvel's biggest competitor, DC Comics, as well as the owner of New Line Cinema, which produced a movie trilogy based on another Marvel superhero, Blade.
The Deputy Dawgtelevision series first ran, on a weekly basis, from September 8, 1962 to May 25, 1963, with no episodes on December 8 to December 29, 1962, resuming on January 5, 1963. The cartoons are between four and six minutes long, and were packaged three at a time and shown as a half-hour program in syndication. The show was produced by CBS and was the professional animation debut of Ralph Bakshi (as inbetweener) of Fritz the Cat fame. There were also six additional titles that were released theatrically, for show in cinemas and which were not part of the original TV package.
The character of Deputy Dawg (a dog) is a deputy sheriff in the State of Tennessee of the United States. The other main characters are the ' varmints' Muskie Muskrat, Moley Mole, Possible'Possum, Ty Coon, Vincent van Gopher, Pig Newton, and Dawg's boss the Sheriff, as well as Mrs. Deputy. Deputy Dawg was voiced by Dayton Allen, a prolific Hollywood voice actor who voiced many Terrytoons characters in television and theatrical shorts in the 1950s and 1960s.
Much of the comedy is sight gag/action based with some focused around comical accents and stereotypical southern characteristics. Many of the storylines involve Deputy Dawg protecting hisproduce from Muskie and Vince, battling with some of the peculiar locals and trying to please the Sheriff. However, most of the crimes committed by Muskie and Vince weren't treated seriously, and Deputy Dawg was on friendly terms with them most of the time (except when he had to perform his duties as a lawman and keep them from causing trouble). Deputy Dawg would pal around with Muskie and Vince just as often as he would lock them up in the Jailhouse, and the trio would often engage in their favorite pastime, fishin' for catfish.
The central location for many of the yarns is the Jailhouse.

Casper was created in the late 1930s by Seymour Reit and Joe Oriolo, the former devising the idea for the character and the latter providing illustrations. Intended initially as the basis for a 1939 children's storybook, there was at first little interest in their idea. When Reit was away on military service during the Second World War before the book was released, Oriolo sold the rights to the book to Paramount Pictures' Famous Studios animation division.
The Friendly Ghost, the first Noveltoon to feature Casper, was released by Paramount in 1945 with a few differences from the book. In the cartoon adaptation, Casper is a cute ghost-child with aNew York accent, who inhabits a haunted house along with a community of adult ghosts who delight in scaring the living. Casper, however, is a noncomformist among ghosts: he would prefer to make friends with people. He packs up his belongings and goes out into the world, hoping to find friends. However, the animals that he meets (a rooster, a mole, a cat, a mouse named Herman, and a group of hens) take one horrified look at him and run off in the other direction. Distraught, Casper unsuccessfully attempts to commit suicide (apparently forgetting that he is already dead) by laying himself down on a railway track before an oncoming train, before he meets two children named Bonnie and Johnny who become his friends. The children's mother—apparently widowed and impoverished—at first is frightened of Casper, but later welcomes him into the family after he (unintentionally) frightens off a greedy landlord, who, unwilling to own a "haunted" house, tears up the mortgage and gives her the house outright. The short ends with the mother kissing Bonnie, Johnny, and Casper as she sends them off to school, with Casper wearing clothing as if he were a living child.
Casper appeared in two more subsequent cartoons by Seymour Reit and Joe Oriolo, There's Good Boos To-Night and A Haunting We Will Go. There's Good Boos To-Night differs wildly from later Casper cartoons: although the theme of Casper trying to find a friend and failing in these attempts before succeeding also occurs in later cartoons, the tone of this short turns remarkably dark when a hunter and his dogs appear, chasing the little fox cub named Ferdy that Casper has befriended. Although Casper scares the hunter and dogs away, Casper discovers Ferdy dead after a harrowing chase scene. Happily, however, Ferdy returns as a ghost to join his friend Casper in the afterlife.
These were later adapted into Noveltoons before Paramount started a Casper the Friendly Ghost series in 1950, and ran the theatrical releases until the summer of 1959. Nearly every entry in the series was the same: Casper (now slightly thinner than the pudgy figure that appeared in the earlier cartoons) escapes from the afterlife of a regular ghost because he finds that scaring people can be tiresome year after year, tries to find friends but inadvertently scares almost everyone, and finally finds a (cute little) friend, whom he saves from some sort of fate, leading to his acceptance by those initially scared of him. In 1955, composer Winston Sharples composed an instrumental theme for Casper's cartoons.
Dallasis a long-running American prime time television soap opera that aired from April 2, 1978 to May 3, 1991 on CBS. The series revolves around the wealthy and feuding Texan, Ewing family, who own the independent oil company, Ewing Oil and the cattle-ranching land of Southfork. The series originally focused on the marriage of Bobby Ewing and Pamela Barnes, whose families were sworn enemies with each other. As the series progressed, oil tycoon, J.R. Ewing grew to be the show's main character, whose schemes and dirty business became the show's trademark. When the show ended in 1991, J.R. was the only character to have appeared in every episode.
The show was famous for its cliffhangers, including the Who shot J.R.? mystery. The 1980 episode Who Done It remains the second highest rated prime-time telecast ever. The show also featured a "Dream Season", in which the entirety of the ninth season was revealed to have been a dream of Pam. After 14 seasons, the series finale "Conundrum" aired in 1991.
The show had a relatively ensemble cast. Larry Hagman stars as greedy, scheming oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, stage/screen actress Barbara Bel Geddes as family matriarch Miss Ellie and movie Western actor Jim Davis as Ewing patriarch Jock, his last role before his death in 1981. The series won four Emmy Awards, including a 1980 Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series win for Bel Geddes.
With its 357 episodes, Dallas remains one of the longest lasting full-hour primetime dramas in American TV history, behind Bonanza (430 episodes), Law & Order (456 episodes), and Gunsmoke (635 episodes). In 2007 Dallas was included in TIME magazine's list of "100 Best TV Shows of All-TIME".
Dallas also spawned the spin-off series Knots Landing in 1979 which also lasted 14 seasons. In 2010, TNT announced it had ordered a new, updated continuation of Dallas.[4] The revival series, continuing the story of the Ewing family, premiered on TNT on June 13, 2012.
