[QUOTE="Soaplover, post: 438918, member: 336"] The Donna Reed Show was considered a unique show because it starred a woman and it was told from the perspective of a woman vs a man... and it was basically her idea/vision. Seeing her get into scrapes, making mistakes, and having a healthy and affectionate rapport with her husband really showed me how a couple could be if they respected and worked as a team. Father Knows Best was also funny while the kids had just as much focus as the parents with older daughter Betty having feminist ideas for the 50s including briefly considering becoming an engineer, and one memorable episode called 'Betty, the Pioneer Woman ' where Betty is tasked with selecting a couple to recreate a 12 mile trek that resulted in the founding of the town. She selects a Pre-Bewitched Dick York as the male and she decides to select herself to go with him when he proclaims women are the weaker sex. As it turns out, Betty manages to complete the trek while managing to nurse his injury that prevents him from walking the rest of the way. For the 1950s, I'm surprised that there were some feminist elements within the wholesome 50s sitcom [/QUOTE]
