They're probably avialiable from netflix or amazon.
I think there will be a number of those old shows and what they did on Thanksgiving on TVLAND all day on Thanksgiving day. They have been talking about it for some time now.
LOL, ever notice the hippie, free living Woodstock generation, are now in power and want to control every move you make. No soda, no junk food, no pollution, whatever they think polluting is, and on and on.
No, the hippies WERE the post-war kids who were essentially born in the 1950s.
Half of the hippies also later became Reaganistas.
Regulation of pollution is a bad thing? When was the last time the Cuyahoga river caught on fire?
Not to mention the constant threat of nuclear war, blue laws everywhere (the thought of lining up a week early to buy stuff on Thanksgiving Day would boggle the mind of anyone in the 1950s, but on the thread devoted to that topic, conservatives are all insisting that complaining employees should just get over it and be grateful they have jobs!), and the existence of just three TV networks -- none of which was 100% conservative like Faux News is.
As one who was 22 when that OP show was showed and entering the Army after going to college for a degree I think I know a bit more about that time than most of the people writing here. I have to admit that I was very ignorant of what some say here till I was in college. One of those things would be gays which we didn't call by that name.
I have enjoyed watching the two sides of this one making loud noises and none of them were even around back then. You all learned from someone else and make loud noises out of more ignorance than anything. I love it when I hear leaners talking about those who want to go back to the 50s when they know only what they hear from other leaners.
Oh well, I am getting pissed just writing here so I will close down and let you of both crowds get back to bad mouthing each other.

Controlling pollution is one thing closing all coal plants is another. 68 regs coming out from the WH every day. Guess they think if a little is good, the total 9 yards is better. One can go overboard. Plus they can say what pollution is and isn't.

That's right!!!!!---we must be talking about the hippie's kids that are in power now. No wonder they are that way. Their parents had no control over them since the hippie believed in no rules and now their kids want to control everything like they controlled their parents. ----brain storm. Thanks for that enlightment.
1954 Supreme Court Rules in Brown v Board of Education, abolishing the legal concept of separate but equal.
1955 Emmett Till murdered for eyeballing a white woman, Rosa Parks sits down in a Montgomery Bus.
1957 Federal Troops are deployed to Little Rock, Ark to escort at 9 African American students into Central High School.
No, I don't want to return to your mythologically TV inspired vision of America. Ever.
So you were around in those days? No you weren't and at least one of the people you speak about has said she was sorry she had to be one of those people. Yes, Brown said that at a 50th anniversary celebration in Topeka, Ks. She wasn't happy then as the main girl and never did come to like what happened.
Did you read the whole thing by Ellis? I bet you didn't but I surely did and although I thought Brown was a great thing in 1954 I understand what Sowell says and certainly don't think any leaner could understand what he says and that is for obvious reasons.
I don't believe that. Why? Because I know for a fact that humans are imperfect beings, therefore they have imperfect families and lives.
This may surprise you but in many of those shows, the families were not "perfect." I haven't watched many Father Knows Best episodes, but I have seen quite a few Leave it to Beaver shows. In that show, there are episodes in which the two boys and the parents at one time or another make a mistake or do or say something wrong.
