Whereas today’s enlightened television women are career-obsessed control freaks on starvation diets, who wear designer clothes no regular woman could afford with arthritis-inducing spike heels that cost 2 months wages.
They inject botox and get plastic surgery so they can become and stay “sexy” enough to attract equally shallow men in bars with whom they hop into bed after the first drink, then wake up the next morning not remembering or never having known the name of the person with whom they shared baby-making body fluids.
Yeah. I can see where that’s so much “better” and so very “different” from 1950s shows where girls were trained to use their feminine wiles and pretend to be helpless to attract men. Especially that whole part where the 1950s shows were about attracting husbands and staying chaste until after the vows, so there wouldn’t be any babies happening where there weren’t two parents already in a committed relationship to provide a stable two-parent home. Cuz THAT was just so awful.

I think what Billy Gray “Bud Anderson” was pointing out is that it was the same back then. It’s just that it was not talked about and kept it covered up. The only thing that kept it off TV was the censors. What kept it out of the news was the family and church too embarrassed to talk about it so it was kept better contained behind closed doors back then. Just because at one time no one dared to expose or refused to believe the Coach and Priest were pedophiles does not mean that it was not happening.

Anonymous — I grew up in Detroit in the sixties, in a neighborhood that was about ten years behind the “modern times”, a ethnic neighborhood which was predominately Catholic. Life for most families was right out tv-land. Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best, The Patty Duke Show, and the rest of them could have been modeled after the majority of two-parent, stable homes. It did exist and when things got tough for these families it was the strength of this stability that trained these families in courage, openness, honesty to deal with the crisis — all the time seeing the glass as half full and life a celebration of women, of men, of children, of God, of neighborhood, of diversity. It did exist even if a bitter, morally deficit Hollywood actor thought it was just imaginary.
LikeLike
And I may add not only did it exist but was a living painting of the beauty of diversity. A neighbor house was owned and shared by two elderly ladies that had lived there for about twenty-five years. Everyone loved them. We children were encouraged to include them in Mother’s Day, in Christmas, in stopping over to visit with them, and to love them. These “oppressed women” and “chauvinist men” included them in all the couple parties and trusted their children with these two ladies, who has been before retirement, superb business women. I used to travel with my mom to visit one of the ladies after she was put in a nursing home. As an adult, realized the two women were lesbians and all the adults knew it. Love and friendship . . .

Sorry, Charlie. In the 50s, molesting children was a capital offense. They fried in the chair after one offense. And since unpleasant death is actually a deterrent, despite what your friends claim, it was actually pretty rare then. The numbers we know about seem to bear that out. This has been mainly a post-sexual-revolution problem. Again, thank your liberal friends for that. Unhappily, being an involved lay Catholic, I know the numbers about priests “molesting children,” and it was a homosexual problem (NOT pedophilia/children), with problem priests being tolerated too long and too much. We all bear the shame for that. Too much tolerance. Sound familiar? Problem of the 50s? Hmmmm. What you don’t read often is that for every priest accused in the 70s or 80s, there were 100 times that many accusations in public schools. Not just a Catholic problem, but still a post-sexual-revolution problem. Your ball. Your court.

Sorry not buying it… There were many books burned that were once written by the experts of the 50’s The were deeply involved in the church. “In the 1950’s certain analytic therapists felt that children not only unconsciously desired sexual assault, but were responsible for the occurrence. These previous theories have impacted our professional community for years, and have changed drastically since the 1950’s, 60’s and even early 70’s.”
Can you not see The perfect circle. If the experts told you back then (and the church accepted the expert words because they were in many cases members of the church). Then your child was molested because they asked for it and you kept your mouth shut because you were now shamed in the eyes of the church.

We children never knew that adults preferred same sex. Two ladies together was adult information. No one ever spoke of it to the children and we had no clue as to “alternative lifestyle”, we never asked or wondered about them living together. The adults knew but obviously the ladies did not try to override the traditional family by ‘educating’ us. To me, call me outdated, but I actually think it was healthier for society and children especially not knowing about all the gay stuff. As for the mothers (and fathers) who did not want their children there, there probably were some that made that choice. We were taught to show respect for them as elderly and thus would help carry their groceries or shovel their snow or take a plate of cookies over. They always said thank you and gave us a peppermint. If it was near dark, we kids would meet them at the bus stop and walk them the two blocks home. The adults may have suspected and not have approved but that did not cause them to see respect and neighborliness and Christian love as needing to be withheld or withdrawn. I suspose it was sort of a society imposed “don’t ask, don’t tell” sort of thing.

At Thanksgiving dinner we were discussing how Father Knows Best and Leave it to Beaver were such good shows for kids of my generation.
For someone like me, who had a very disfunctional family, watching these shows helped me to see a kind of family life I could aspire to have. TV Dads were role models for those of us who had fathers who were not very good examples. They helped me to decid what kind of man I wanted to marry someday, and I did marry one who had the same honesty and integrity as the 50’s guys.
It is so sad that there are even more kids today than in my day who come from broken homes, and they do not have these old fashioned guys to look up to on TV. Instead they have all these sit coms with smart ass kids and bumbling fools for Dads, and un “reality” shows where people treat each other horribly and use a vocabulary that is limited to four letter words that my generation had never even heard (even in our disfunctional homes).

According to the net: “Ernie and Bert were built by Don Sahlin from a simple design scribbled by Jim Henson, creator of The Muppets. Initially, Henson performed Bert and Oz performed Ernie, but after just one day of rehearsal, they switched characters. According to writer Jon Stone, the relationship between Ernie and Bert reflected the real-life friendship between Henson and Oz”
LikeLike
That’s cool! I think GP was also musing about the original Bert and Ernie (cop and cab driver) in the Frank Capra movie, on which Henson and Oz apparently based their muppets. I suppose maybe there was a Bert and Ernie somewhere in upstate NY that triggered the thought.
LikeLike
In that case from the same source: “”Characters named Ernie and Bert appear in the film It’s a Wonderful Life as a taxi driver and a policeman, respectively, but those behind Sesame Street claim that it is merely a coincidence. Jerry Juhl, a writer on many Henson-related projects, said, “Despite his many talents, Jim had no memory for details like this. He knew the movie, of course, but would not have remembered the police officer and the cabdriver.””
LikeLike
I can’t imagine that Jim Henson did not see It’s A Wonderful Life dozens of times, just like the rest of us. All of those characters are unforgettable. I always assumed he named his muppets after the original.
Speaking of Jim Henson. Another trivia fact is that he died of a heart attack right after having dental surgery. I have been to many talks in the past few years about the dangers of dental procedures, mercury, fluoride, etc. Did you know that there is a bacteria in our mouthts that is linked to sudden heart attacks? That is why root canals are so dangerous. That bacteria gets covered up when the tooth is capped and even though there is no pain, the infection may fester for years. This not only causes the immune system to be on constant overdrive, this bacteria can create havoc with one’s health, causing everything from cancer to heart attacks. This very well could have been why Jim Henson died so suddenly, when he as healthy and young, from a heart attack.
I found out about all this when I started reading about the link to breast cancer and root canals. When I finally decided to have my root canal tooth extracted, after several opinions from biological dentists, it was all black at the bottom. Yuck! I had had this bacteria festering for decades!
The morals of the story are,
only trust a biological dentist. They are trained to look for this infection when others aren’t.
Do not get any root canals, and if you have them, consider removing them. If you are having chronic health issues, your teeth might be culprit.
This bacteria connection should be considered in sudden heart attacks.

Well, this may end up being good news. At dinner last night there was a young woman there who is a staffer for Rep. Steve King from Iowa (you know, Michelle Bachman’s buddy.) She said that it is up to Boehner, but King is due to be a committee chair, and the two possibilities are the committee on immigration, or the one on agriculture. The part about agriculture that this young, very conservative woman was excited about is that it is the committee in charge of food stamps.
She said we should all be concerned that the country is actually being run by 25 to 30 year olds who make about $65,000 a year, which sounds like a lot, but I don’t think it really is if you have to live in the DC area. Rents are astronomical there. They stay a few years and then out they go – to work for the lobbyists on K Street, where they make a ton of money and come back to the Hill and call on all the contacts they made when they were staffers. They actually do the real work of writing the bills, etc. but they all just consider it a stepping stone to K Street, so few stay long enough for any real wisdom.
