Question

Which of the following statements best characterizes the television sitcoms of the 1950s?

Answer 1

The statement that best characterizes the television sitcoms of the 1950s is that sitcoms reinforced traditional roles for men and women. In the early 1950s family sitcoms appeared as good examples to an American public that loved shows like; “Ozzie and Harriet,” “Father Knows Best,” and “Make Room for Daddy.”  Both shows depicted and idealized the typical American family where family unity is viewed to be the paradise that everyone should have in their houses. The simplistic ideal outlook soon developed to become the norm for sitcoms; where a generation of “baby boomers” grew up with the belief in the American family as portrayed on television.
