Aggro = aggressive.

Watching that episode of Twilight Zone, your heart breaks for Christie when her stepfather takes her doll Talky Tina and Christie begs “DADDY, PLEASE!” and the stepfather yells “I’m not your daddy!”

“My name is Talking Tina, and I don’t think I like you very much…”

Still gives me chills… though I did just rewatch it not too long ago. The Twilight Zone is by far my favorite television series of all time. 😃

I’m a liberal Catholic. I’m well aware that the real fifties weren’t like they were on Father Knows Best or Make Room for Daddy, but a modern teen who has grown up in a Western culture that is much more permissive and accepting, would find being transported to a fifties tv show very difficult, especially if they were female.

My youngest is 21 and she often comments that she would fit right in and be at home in Mayberry, NC. (The Andy Griffith Show)

I think my stereotypical teen would find things difficult wherever she found herself. :dts:

Anyhow, are you saying a more permissive culture is better? I’m guessing you’re not a mother, yet.
 
“The Munsters,” because I think living in their house would be fun.🙂
 
Polly from My Three Sons might be nice to be. Not Dodie, though
 
When i was younger i thought it would be fun to live on the Flintstones or Jetsons…
 
Perry Mason. The clothes were fad, the women independent and capable, there were black judges police officers and business people along with other minorities–all treated with dignity. People respected the police, clergy, lawmakers. Moral ethics were based on the Judeo-Christian and/or Tao values–and even if people didn’t uphold them, they knew they should. Women were in business if they wanted to be, were artists and professors and judges, etc. Racial discrimination was considered bad taste at the least and disgusting at the worst. Yeah, I could definitely be happy in Perry Mason’s world. 🙂
 
There was a show called Cannonball about a pair of long-haul truckers. I think we got it on the Canadian channel in our area (Channel 9). It was just fun and the characters were upbeat and likable.

Living in a 50’s sitcom? I don’t think I could stand the laugh track.
