Yes, TV should always uplift not degrade nor be dark.

People back then, were braindead 'Sheeple's'🐑😁!!

​@@shawnmartin7872Amen to that!

So sad too. I loved watching reruns of this as a kid in the 80s and 90s.

Same. I'm doing exactly that right now.

I watch this because it’s good, not for school

Nathan Goad Im doing that same assignment

Literally same

IKR! I am glad I found these types of shows.

owlcu good

I thought I had it bad. Man, that must be about the worst thing ever. My dad at least was nice before he went to work. We had a home, such as it was. All the best to you. brother.

did both of your parents fuck around?

@Georg Andexler Andexler Yes, that is terrible too.

Same and I’m 14

Yeah, mine too

r/lewronggeneration

AGREED! It's a break from the chaos!

I just wish they would have EXTENDED the show by, maybe, showing Betty and Bud go through college or something. They could call it, "Father Knows Best, the College Years". :-) Growing up in a dysfunctional family myself, it was so good to see brothers and sisters who actually CARE about each other, instead of like mine: a a self-centered narcissist who didn't mature past the age of 6 (emotionally), and a vengeful pathological liar who loves to punish people.

Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you peace, hope you’re safe and well?

Love watching the reruns of the oldies and the besties!

@@patriciawilder8512 I DO TOO!!!!

This is one of many wholesome, clean. Innocent shows. My childhood was richer for it.

Me too. Specially with whats going on now in the world

the only youtube videos that carry on into the 21st century this kind of innocent clever humor is Bob and Brad the old guys that teach physiotherapy tips to the great unwashed of this generation. Watching their sweet innocent dialogues made me think of this series from my childhood.

It's so good to see others with the same opinion, about Robert Young. I feel the same way about Jane Wyman, too. Hollywood knew what they were doing when they matched these two. They both have faces that you can trust. All there joy inside them just radiates out, into genuine happiness. Every since I was a little girl and first saw them, I loved them instantly, and still feel the same today about them.✌🏽

i was raised in a single mom home alone with a miserable woman and it was hell. I used to watch this program and yearn to live in the TV like these people. Same with watching Donna Reed and the Dick Van Dyke show. I can actually remember wishing Laura was my mom and envying their little boy Richard. Ridiculous but true as I live to tell it.

@@helenlauer9545 you had a good perspective and that's what counts. God bless you.

That's a delusional thought, you produced.

@@helenlauer9545 I hope you in turn, didn't accomplish the same thing🤔??

Huh??a

sad part is, i realise what ive missed!

Hello Shirley, How are you doing?

😮''''''''''

Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you John, hope you’re safe and well?

Yeah it’s kind of healing for me to see such a nurturing yet playful family dynamic.

Evelyn Miranda, maybe in Heaven (God´s Paradise, God´s Glory), no chance at all in this world threwn to the hell.

Same here

You have a great teacher.This show was on before I was born but I had heard people talk about it.I finally got a chance to watch and enjoyed it..Some teachers are recommending Geoge Burns and Gracie Allen Show.I recently watched it and loved it.

@@marvinabigby5509 yeah, I enjoyed it I wish there was still stuff like this on tv but now it's just fabricated drama crap.

Watched it when I was a kid over summer break. One of my all time favorite shows. Good to see young folks still enjoy it.

Wth kind of teacher would recommend this lol

Me too!

Alicia Pilotta can you tell me where did you get the DVD please??

@@gabygalindo153 i ordered every season on Amazon..

Thank you very much for the info Alicia!!😊

@@gabygalindo153 your very welcome!! Enjoy them!!

Same here! Now I just wish I had the complete Marcus Welby, M.D. series, simply because Robert stars in that, too.

Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you eileen, hope you’re safe and well?

Until I watched this show, I have only known Eleanor as Ellie Walker who worked for a short time in Walker's Drug Store on The Andy Griffith Show. I like her character here.

JimboParadox what country are you from

JimboParadox - you obviously are not an American nor do you know any. The majority of us are decent, hard working people, struggling to raise our families well in an evil age. (And not all foreigners are the fine, upstanding people you claim...there are good and bad in ALL ethnic groups. Try not to be so full of hate and prejudice)

@@alank5560 He is too much of a coward to answer you!

@@cynthiaesquibel3191 Interesting how you tell this person to not be full of " hate and prejudice" when his comment is a rebuttal to a hateful, prejudiced comment about liberals and foreigners. That doesn't seem to bother you. No rebuke for that?

@J. Muller You sound like an idiot.

I do to. Nice clean comedy without all that filth and ugly stuff. ❤

The downhill slide really started with the legalization of abortion. If you can kill babies, then anything goes.

How about 70s

Or 80s

I know bro. It shows you what is was like back then. I couldn't imagine being black and never seeing my people represented on tv. Gotta give Props to Jack Benny. It was the 50's and Rochester was a top-billed co-star. Even better, Benny was Jewish!

Must be a very ambiguous feeling for every Afro-American that loves Americana vintage culture.

Wasn't Amos & Andy out there? I Spy, Redd Fox, and Louis Armstrong? Your race was a minority back then maybe more so than today and black people seemed to want to be separate from the whites rather than the other way around. I know because I grew up in close association with a black family. Their mother used to cut my hair and their 2nd son was one of the closest friends I've ever had. Later he even dated my cousin. Makes me wonder where some people get their memories. Whites in general are good people, so are blacks; long as they don't have that simmering hatred in their hearts. Edited to say - the hatred that goes both ways.

There were not black people on TV shows because they objected to how they were portrayed. Amos and Andy got cancelled due to pressure from black organizations. But A & A had respectable characters, they dressed well, had jobs, did not engage in crime, etc. It was a comedy. Look at the white comedies They have silly people doing dumb things, or dramas with white crooks, they could portray whites any way they liked with no problem. Black people did it to themselves. They came back with Good Times, The Jeffersons, all those had black people with faults or being silly, just like the white people shows. Denzel Washington even said this.

If you really want comedy ahead of its time, I loved the Van Dyke show, The Donna Reed Show, and The Doris Day Show. Joined the world of being a more “vintage fan” when I was 15 or 16 and now at 19 I still enjoy the classics

I had no mom, and dad was a raging alcoholic. I clung to these shows. All I ever wanted was to be tucked in, In a normal house, with a mom and dad shutting the light off for me. I did ok but that lack of that love has never left me, even at 64.. I used to stare into the Christmas tree and wish, One day I would be out of there. I was starring at my tree last week, thinking back. Is there a god? There is something that looks out for good girls and boys. I know. survived. My brother was an abusive ASSHOLE. Haven't talked to him in 20 years, and that was only because dad died. Robert Young, Yeah.

@@TheJetfighter666 Robert Young was an alcoholic as well (although, to his credit, he did eventually get help). He also battled depression most of his life. However, his children and grandchildren loved him dearly. He sought help for his depression following a suicide attempt in 1991 and spoke out about it, hoping it would encourage others to seek help. I don't think anyone had a bad word to say about him.

No actually believe it or not kids still regularly go out to get out of the house with friends. Just because people spend time online doesn't mean they never spend time doing other things. Sometimes you can't go out. And reading the newspaper takes attention away from others as much as a phone does. People don't become inable to divert their attention just because instead of paper they use electronics.

Yes, I was really disheartened to see all the poison comments here. I hope Lauren that one day we will figure out how to lessen the divide. As for the show, as a young lad I remember watching the early 60s primetime reruns with the family. Good times.

This was great TV !! Nowadays some cry baby has got to whine about everything !!! ✌📺

Agreed. These people can never shut up and just enjoy the show. We ALL enjoyed these old shows, and many of us still do, regardless of political party. Why are these people always so damn angry? Geez.

I Like Ike!

Feminism thought it would improve the world with ideas about women being morally superior to men. They might have been before the '60s. And I think the same group brought in ideas about about not disciplining children and it really hasn't made the world a better place.
