DID LEAVE IT TO BEAVER ET AL LEAD TO WILD&CRAZY ONES?

If it really was like this...

Any self-respecting Baby Boomer worth his or her arthritic knees watched

Leave it to Beaver, and others of the ilk like My Three Sons and the Beverly Hillbillies all during the 50s, 60s, 70s, on TV, and now on DVD.
-

And according to a recent DVD trade mag, a Beverly Hillbillies comp, box-set is actually number 6 on on the top 10 of TV series'

DVD sales.

-

I found that a tad surprising give all the sheit and drek that is usually popular, sales-wise. (You know what those titles are!)

-
In any event, Beaver-which will get a full-Monty, all 235 episode box set come June- Sons, and to a lesser extent the Hillbillies, all presented a jolly, patriarchal, dulcet domestic atmosphere wherein just
about every damn thing works out well in the end, although of course there was never a time even in the flacid 50s and sensational 60s that that fantasy was so.

-
And what I find really interesting is that many of the kids who grew up in the day watching the aforementioned shows led pretty counter-culture-anti-Leave it to Beaver lives, and the kids of those kids are even wilder.
-
Can anyone figger how a couple raised on the Sons and Beav and Jed and
Granny could sire a Courtney Love?

-

I mean, if things were so good back in the good ole days, then how
did we end up with so many hostile, disillusioned, nihilistic narcissistic children from those 50s and 60s children.
-

And accordingly, why are those Baby Boomers-who are the ones driving the 50s and 60s TV series DVD boom(let)-who apparently didn't get with the cultural program back then, embracing it again, today?
