She Burned WHAT?!?

Oct 29, 2003 23:05

You know, after watching Rosemary's Baby a week or so ago, I got to noticing some stuff. Everyone has probably already noticed it since I like to walk around oblivious a lot. I apologize if it's old news to you. Anyway, the husband in it is one of those types of guys that would say, "Now baby, we aren't going to have any of that." You know, ( Read more... )

Heh. Well, there you have it.

Although, from shows like Twilight Zone, you'd think everyone in the 50's was drunk with a monsterously nagging wife. I guess the 50's and 60's kind of even out that way in TV Land. ;)

Most of all that old TV is really scary. I can handle Andy Griffith though ;)

He sort of looked like my Dad used to. Not that my Dad smiled that much, but he did have the accent.

Andy Griffith was a great show. There were some characters. Good old Barney :)

A lot of the shows and movies in the 50's were either really dark or overly perversely clean (Leave It To Beaver makes me puke on cleanliness). There was that kind of weird duality going on.

And I don't care what anyone says, Fred Murdst was an asshole.

Just don't start burning any bras. We get a little uptight about that. ;)

I'm NOT going to go out and buy something I don't own just to burn it.

Oh yeah. It was all men mostly writing those shows I bet. I'm of the camp though that TV and media and entertainment more reflect the current times than rather define them, so even if men were the only ones who write for sitcoms now (and I'm betting for a large part, they still are), you would still see a lot of change. There has been a lot in just this century for women and the last 50 years. That would be reflected no matter who is writing it.
