My boyfriend loves those reruns and I must say I’ve had some good laughs from hearing it too.

No - but thanks for asking.

My favorite show all-time! Well done and nostalgic.

My all time favorite show back in the day but now I realize life was good back then if you were a white male.

Here is a trivia question for your workers who watch the show. Who is married on the Mayberry RFD?

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.

It's a toss up for me.. Between "wonder years" and the Beaver. Both moral though provoking series

I always thought the “NELSONS” was a weird show Ozzie always shuddered like he couldn’t think what to say. I guess everybody has there opinions!

You've made me think about those old TV shows. It would be nice to take a trip down memory lane and watch some of them. Some of my favorites were The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (the TV show, but the movie is one of my all time favorite movies ever), Please Don't Eat the Daisies, The Brady Bunch, Marcus Welby MD, Mr. Ed, My Mother the Car.

Beaver was actually a biting satire of the classic sit-coms of the time. I mean Ward and June were hysterical while Eddy and Lumpy were fleshed out true to like characters. Vacuuming in a gown though takes the cake. I loved how the boys would say “Dad is going to kill us “ when Ward never even raised his voice. Years ahead of its time Beaver is an American classic

I grew up in in the old south end of Boston full of bad bars and taverns, illegal gambling spots . winos and crooks , we moved to the west end full of run down tenements with the smell of cabbage that I can still remember , the neighborhood was so bad ,it was completely torn down , we then moved to a project that was basically for younger guys a gladiator school for Irish street gangs ,that being said I wouldn’t trade a day of it for that living hell that family was going through everyday.

As a little, pale, white/blond haired boy in So Cal, I couldn't wait til I would be old enough to join The Mystic Knights of the Sea lodge. I loved Amos and Andy! I still occasionally watch it on TV (you tube).

It's simple comedy. Every show has a wholesome message too.

Cute and funny. However, most of the messages the older shows deliver do not apply today. Some may even get you arrested. My grandkids eyes and mouths open wide in shock while watching. They understand most are a big NO NO in today's world.

Examples Today, you cannot give a fellow student a black eye because he is bullying your sister. You can't force an entire family with six kids into a station wagon with a dog hanging out the window and no one wearing seat belts. Women are not servants. They do not serve a man dinner and coffee the minute he comes home, bring his slippers and newspaper.
