These Are the Days (TV series)
[1] Set at the turn of the 20th century[2] in a small town called Elmsville located somewhere on the Great Plains, These Are the Days portrayed the everyday lives of the Day family, which consisted of the widow, her three children and her father, the self-styled inventor.Various family members interacted with friends and neighbors, with the story usually ending with the lesson learned.Due to the popularity of The Waltons, ABC decided to take a chance on an animated program set around the turn of the century.[3] It was one of three "serious" programs the network aired on Saturday mornings in 1974, the others being the prehistoric live-action drama Korg: 70,000 B.C.These Are the Days and Devlin were among the very few dramatic programs ever produced by Hanna-Barbera, who were known primarily for slapstick comedies and action-adventure cartoons.
