I date myself when I refer to these shows, but does anyone on the BY watch them still or watch video clips on Youtube?
I guess you could put Ozzie and Harriet in this category, and My Three Sons with Fred Macmurray.
Personally, I think the shows reflect the "perfect family," which probably never actually existed.
I like to view the Youtube interviews of the characters when grown and as recent as I can find. Jerry Mathers(Beaver), Tony Dow(Wally) and Ken Osmonde, who recently died (Eddie Haskell) present as very well-spoken, friendly people, who were surprised as to the show's ongoing popularity and the fans coming up to introduce themselves at signings.
At the time, Beaver was maybe rated as #10 of the shows then in this genre, and was not considered any big deal.
I find them relaxing to watch.
Had anyone here ever heard Ricky Nelson perform live? His sons play now, and I saw them on Youtube, and found them entertaining.
