Where do you think you are?

[EDITED:] Okay, I'll play along...

1) The Adams Family, 
Lost in Space, 
Green Acres.

2) These shows portrayed everyday issues 
exactly as they were for most families across 
the world, and were in fact shockingly realistic 
portrayals of the situations in my own family.

3) What myths?

1) Leave it to Beaver
2) Happy Days
3) any other 1950's through 70's family show.

Oh how silly these shows were to have a man and a woman as parents, and for them to be married before having children.
