8. A special award was given out for the Most Innovative Show. Which series won that award?

Answer: All in the Family

"All in the Family" made fun about many of the problems of the 1970s. The show consisted of a family headed by a somewhat bigoted father, a loyal and loving wife, and a daughter and son-in-law who were 180 degrees opposite of her father's thinking.
9. Barbara Feldon and Don Adams gave out the next award for the character who was the Best Second Banana In A TV Show. Who won this award?

Answer: Davy Jones

This episode has been promoted as the most requested episode of the series.
11. Who won the award given for the Superest Super Hero?

Answer: The Six Million Dollar Man

This award surprised me as I was sure that "Superman" would get that one. Saying that, Lee Majors is a fine actor and "The Six Million Dollar Man" was an enjoyable show.

Answer: Barbara Eden

This was a tough decision as evil sisters in two of the shows were both well developed and interesting characters.

Answer: Julia

Diahann Carroll was one of the first actresses to break through as an African-American in a role in what is considered classic TV. A single woman raising a child was also something that TV of the 1960's was careful in showing.
14. What show won the award for Most Non-Traditional Family?

Answer: The Golden Girls

This show had three older ladies and one of their moms living together. "Different Strokes" was about the Drummonds, a mixed race family. "The Munsters" were a loving family of monsters and humans. "The Partridge Family" was about a single mom and her children, who formed a band.

Answer: Star Trek

All of these are good shows and can be seen in reruns on "TV Land" and other channels. At the time "Star Trek" didn't do well and lasted only 3 seasons beginning in 1966. After it ended however it would not go away. Today it is known for the many movies and spinoffs that have been born from the show.
