On television in the 1950s, the vast majority of the dramatic programs featured white, middle-class, heterosexual, generally Christian, families. The norm was to show marriage as the ideal role for women, who were always happy to stay home (and always look glamorous even when cleaning the house), while the man went off to work. More often than not, the man was considered more intelligent, and the wife was considered a source of problems, which the husband then had to fix. Children were always cute and said clever things, although at times they got into mischief. 1950s programs such as "Father Knows Best" reflected this traditional and conservative mentality very well, as did "Ozzie and Harriet."
