The same people who criticized “Leave it to Beaver” for being unrealistic always praise “The Bill Cosby Show ( Huxtables)” for being an inspiration.
BTW, life was very similar to the way it was portrayed in Leave it to Beaver when I grew up. I could identify with many of the characters. But I didn’t know any Black families where the father was a doctor, mother a lawyer and the oldest kid went to Princeton.
The Left is constantly running down all aspects of the American society of the 1950’s, e.g. “Leave it to Beaver”. IMO it is NO coincidence that during the 1950’s, the USA had domestic Communists on the run from the law!;)
