[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 273607, member: 5079"] Overall, I'm not a big fan of this genre of sitcom. Except for some early episodes of LEAVE IT TO BEAVER, I've never found them to be[I] funny[/I]. Slightly amusing, maybe. Wholesome, genial and comforting, I guess. But I expect a sitcom to be funny and most of these shows aren't. I can get into early LEAVE IT TO BEAVER. The show could be funny in an "Little Rascals" kind of way; plus the neighbors (Rutherfords & Mondellos) were funny. I suppose I would say the same about DENNIS THE MENACE. The rest of them? Mild, bordering on bland and almost always with an out-of-proportion laugh track. FATHER KNOWS BEST, THE DONNA REED SHOW and MY THREE SONS were all tepid. I've never seen any of OZZIE & HARRIET.
