What was TV like in the 1960s

TV began to become mass produced in the 1960s. TV became more increasingly popular as more exciting programmes were aired which were more realistic.There was the invention of investigative journalism and situation comedies. TV began to portray life as it actually was not how it could be. Charlie, SK. 2011. This sparked revolutionary changes in the television industry as more programmes were being made and shown than ever before. Even films such as Alfred Hitchcock's 'Psycho' pushed the boundaries more than anyone had ever seen showing a woman in the shower and a gory murder. Similar to The Flintstones being the first cartoon to show a couple in bed together.
Most situation comedies started in the US before coming to the UK. Cartoons such as The Flintstones was extremely popular at one point as entire families used to sit and watch.
