50's TV Families

and the Fifties Families....

Oh to live like them ........ perfect ......... nobody raising a voice,
the women wearing high heels and pearls to clean... the men always in a tie....
their spotlessly clean suburban houses ............. Actually, thinking back...
I bet they are the reason there are so many divorces with the "baby boomers" generation...
We all thought this was what married life was really going to be like!!!! NOT...
oh well, at least today's generation won't have that same myth...
they have Rosanne and Ellen...
