    I have ALWAYS been attracted to the 1950's. I know that it was far from perfect . In the back of my head I always thought I would be a great housewife in that time. Thanks for the video

    Each individual's actual pay also depended on their _gender and race._ Kind of important to include that.

    I can't begin to count the ways the '50's were the best overall time in the history of this country. Seems everything was clean and bright, everyone's spirit was ALIVE, and there was a sense that everything was going to be all right. I know there are detractors out there, but in many ways - when you think about it - you know I'm right!

    I'm marathoning these history video series. And when 1930s were finished, after several minutes of searching for 1940s daily life video, only then I realized that I'm stupid dumb ass

    I think Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive.......amazing considering his lifestyle. I remember lots of these things, including drive-in theaters. Some of what he's saying about family life comes straight out of a Father Knows best, and can't apply for many, especially for working women and minorities.

    With regards to the 1950s, have you seen _Lovecraft Country_ on HBO? The horror-themed historical drama is set in the 1950s. Yes, I know all the supernatural stuff probably did not happen, but do you like the show otherwise?

      Yes, we had to redo it because of a mistake concerning Jackie Robinson. One of the great flaws of UA-cam is that they will not let you swap a video out. So, if a mistake is bad enough, we have to upload the video again. Unfortunately.

    I find it interesting how majority of white men love this time, and you have a decent amount of women that find that era appealing. However, for the women, it’s important to know… The reason every picture has a housewife smiling, it’s because the women were extremely miserable and they try to convince people that housewives were happy… That’s why they’re always smiling FYI. Also.. if these times were supposed to be that good, then why did we fight like hell to get out of it? Don’t go back to an era that people fought to get out of… Appreciate where you are.
