∙ 11y agoIn the 1960's there was no cable, sat dish, or color TV. We had 3 stations and all the shows were in black and white. There was no NFL sports, headline news, reruns. TV was alive so if you missed a show you missed it. We didn't have VCR's, DVD's, or any other recording device. If you wanted to change a channel you had to get up and change it because there was no remote. The first TV's were also small. No big screens and they were run with a tube. When that burned out you took off the back, went to the drugstore, and bought a replacement tube. The TV was a very simple machine in 1960's.

∙ 7y agoThe 50's were all about family shows, like Leave it to Beaver. Now, TV has turned to being more revealing and trashy. Like Reality TV for instance. Society was different back then. People kept their business and took pride in how they were viewed. Now, most people on TV don't care. They'll do any thing. The difference is now you get paid to do stupid things on television. The more stupid the better, or higher ratings. Back in the 50's you would have been looked down upon for presenting yourself in such a manner.
Women normally were portrayed as the glamour girl, or the stay at home wife. The man usually was the boss and went to work. Now, there are all types of scenerios. There are pros and cons to every generation.
