Something which both amuses and irritates me is how they are always making fun of shows like “Leave it to Beaver” or “Father Knows Best” as being so unrealistic.
Has anyone ever actually thought about the typical modern family sitcoms where all the kids are wisecracking cretins and Fathers are all idiots, while Mothers are incredibly strong and understanding.
“Leave it to Beaver” was far, far, closer to my actual family than anything out within the last 20 years.
The majority of jokes about Leave it to Beaver have very little to do with the content.
