Indiana author releases new ’70s shows trivia, puzzle book

Anonymous The Tribune-Star The Tribune Star Thu Jul 22, 2010, 11:00 PM EDT

TERRE HAUTE — As the 1970s dawned, TV had become the center of family entertainment. “Those ’70s Shows: TV Trivia & Puzzles” is a new book by Andrew E. Stoner that challenges readers’ knowledge of the 1970s’ television shows.

The ’70s ushered in a new era in the type of programs that would dominate prime-time, focusing especially on relevancy, including socially relevant comedies like “All In The Family,” “M*A*S*H,” “Good Times” and “Welcome Back, Kotter.” The ’70s would also see the twilight of the television variety hour, but not before some dominant shows like “The Carol Burnett Show,” “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour” and Rowan and Martin’s “Laugh-In” saw their peak in popularity. It was also the golden age for TV’s champions of justice, with classics like “Baretta,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “Columbo,” “CHiPs,” “Hawaii Five-O,” “Kojak,” “MacMillan and Wife,” “Mod Squad,” “Rockford Files,” “Starsky and Hutch” and “The Streets of San Francisco.”

Stoner’s new book helps viewers and puzzlers relive classics like those above and many more, including “The Bob Newhart Show,” “The Mary Tyler-Moore Show,” “The Odd Couple,” “Maude,” “The Partridge Family,” “Tony Orlando and Dawn Rainbow Hour” and “The Six Million Dollar Man.”

Stoner is the author of two other books, the popular “Notorious 92: Shocking Murders in Each of Indiana’s 92 Counties” (2009) and “Legacy of a Governor: The Life of Indiana’s Frank O’Bannon” (2007).
