Also Ivan Dixon on Hogan's Heroes

With the exception of Ricky Nelson's "Travelin' Man" on The Advenutures of Ozzie and Harriet in 1957, yes they were!

He and She. The show essentially laid all of the groundwork for smart, adult comedy on TV. The Mary Tyler Moore show took the foundation of the show (even had all of the same writers) and were successful with it a few years later.

Bewitched-er-sort of-It dealt with mixed marriages-Not black/white like the 1970's-Norman Lear stuff-but witch/mortal.Nor did it beat you over the head with relevance,like some 1970's comedies.It was fun ,like most -if not all-1960's comedies were.

Travelin' Man is from 1961.
I think you are referring to his 1957 cover song "I'm Walkin'."

And also,"Hazel",in a way,broke the stereotype of maids being black in TV and movies,by having a series(successful,too)about the adventures of a white live-in maid.In closing,the 1960's also had shows that were groundbreaking.
