But that was more satire than realistic- but I'm sure you wouldn't see that on today's shows.
In fact it's interesting how things that were taboo on 50s TV- like virtually anything sexual- are common today- but many things that were ok back then are "political incorrect" now.
Just compare 1950's "Father Knows Best" with "Married with Children" or "Family Guy"- which is often in terribly bad taste but one of the funnest shows on TV now- filled with clever satire that goes over many people's head. In that respect it reminds me of "Bullwinkle"- who kids saw as a cartoon and adults (and clever teens like me) saw as political commentary.
