Place in Popular Culture
The Doris Day Show was considered a rather lightweight comedy. It was never a huge ratings success but remained popular enough to survive on primetime TV for five seasons. It premiered at a time when rural comedies such as Green Acres were common, and continued into the era when topical sitcoms such as All in the Family prevailed, with associated changes to its own premise.

Famous quotes containing the words place, popular and/or culture:
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“There’s that popular misconception of man as something between a brute and an angel. Actually man is in transit between brute and God.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“When we want culture more than potatoes, and illumination more than sugar-plums, then the great resources of a world are taxed and drawn out, and the result, or staple production, is, not slaves, nor operatives, but men,—those rare fruits called heroes, saints, poets, philosophers, and redeemers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
