Where To Watch
There were papers dolls for just about every 1960s TV series
Everyone from the Petticoat Junction girls to the Bradys were transformed into cut-out clothing models.
Younger generations will never comprehend just how popular paper dolls once were. Put it this way: They were the Pokémon of the midcentury. These cut-out, cardboard clothing models were everywhere. And there were sets for seemingly every popular television show and actress of the era. You had to collect them all.
Everyone from Donna Reed and Patty Duke to Buddy Ebsen and Ricky Nelson were transformed into two-dimensional, underwear-clad models. We dug around to find some of our favorite paper doll tie-ins to hit shows of the 1960s — and a couple from the 1950s.
Do you remember all of these? Better yet — did you own any of these paper dolls?
