Pee Wee's playhouse? Lol. No. I always thought Two and a Half Men was great. Charlie Sheen days obviously. Seinfeld is probably best all time though.

Sitcom dear

Many believe that the 1950s was the greatest decade in American history. The United States was the most influential economic power on earth after WWII under the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower.

There was a large-scale expansion of the middle class in the 1950s. Unions were strong, comprising almost half the American work force. And, politics tended to be moderate with extremist positions being out of favor.

The need to always have more and better goods emerged rapidly in the West during the 1950s. Consumerism became a key component of Western society. People bought big cars and big houses in the new suburbs, and purchased modern time-saving household appliances. But a little research suggests that postwar America was far from idyllic.

Gazing retrospectfully inside the average suburban American household uncovers some families still suffering from the economic fallout of the Great Depression, and a culture alarmed by the looming shadow of a constant threat of nuclear war and communism. Also; many of the “June Cleavers” of the decade had a dark secret.

Everyday drug use for depression was very common among American housewives. The drug, a prescription traquilizer called "Miltown". What later ensued was a flurry of cocktail recipes. There was the “Militini”(a martini with a pill replacing the olive) and for the more daring; drinkers could try a “Guided Missile” (a double vodka and two Miltowns).

Husbands, although reporting themselves to be happier in general, still complained of emotional disturbances and were disposed to consume more alcohol than their wives as a release from stress. Nineteen Fifties America: Those were the good old days. Or were they?

“Leave it to Beaver” offered a romanticized view of middle class American life in the late 1950s and early ‘60s. It was a light drama with the underlying current that upstanding behavior rewards, while poor behavior doles out undesirable consequences.

What I get a kick out of most are the characters, especially Wally’s friends: Eddie Haskell and “Lumpy” Rutherford. Ward Cleaver (or as Eddie would refer to him, “The Warden”) was the Solomon of the show, most always clear-thinking and level-headed.

“Leave it to Beaver” – purportedly the first sitcom to be told from a child's point of view – never broke into the Nielson top-30 nor won any awards, but it placed on Time magazine's unranked 2007 list of "The 100 Best TV Shows of all-time.

I guess I’ve always waxed nostalgically for pink houses with white picket fences, and the families with a Mom, Dad, and 2.5 children. Yes, “The Good Old Days”.

I was wonderin' when The Andy Griffith Show would get mentioned. My second favotite of all time. Great cast of characters, and Blue Grass and Jug Band music performed by some very talented musicians.
