Looking at these shows brings back nice memories, but also makes us aware of the fantasy world that was displayed to the public.
The majority of the population in this country were not living like the Cleavers or Father Knows Best, financially or morally.
The major issue every week on these shows was how Eddie Haskell would treat the Beaver or what dress Betty would be wearing to the dance.
I'm not putting down these shows, just highlighting TV was not portraying reality.
In those days TV was delivering what the people want their lives to be or were restricted by censorship.
I prefer some of the shows today that comes a bit closer to true life.
