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 in, place, popular and/or culture:
“... there is a place in the United States for the Negro. They are real American citizens, and at home. They have fought and bled and died, like men, to make this country what it is. And if they have got to suffer and die, and be lynched, and tortured, and burned at the stake, I say they are at home.”
—Amanda Berry Smith (1837–1915)
“Oxford is the most dangerous place to which a young man can be sent.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“If our entertainment culture seems debased and unsatisfying, the hope is that our children will create something of greater worth. But it is as if we expect them to create out of nothing, like God, for the encouragement of creativity is in the popular mind, opposed to instruction. There is little sense that creativity must grow out of tradition, even when it is critical of that tradition, and children are scarcely being given the materials on which their creativity could work”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“... there are some who, believing that all is for the best in the best of possible worlds, and that to-morrow is necessarily better than to-day, may think that if culture is a good thing we shall infallibly be found to have more of it that we had a generation since; and that if we can be shown not to have more of it, it can be shown not to be worth seeking.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
