The fifties were wonderful in real life as well as on TV, a true golden age in America. I remember when cars first got wrap around single pane windshields, built in A/C and tail fins, 45 rpm records and a whole lot more. Things really started to go down hill in the mid sixties after SAT scores peaked in 1965.

I am glad I grew up when I did, mostly in the fifties.
