while i agree this was a 1950s sitcom and i do not feel it was typical. firstly and donna reed was a strong woman and unlike the regular 50s sitcom moms. she made a stand for women worth and equality (remember the episode where the tv announcer says just a housewife) and donna stands up for all women do and represent and especially those that do not work outside the home. and when the women rebelled against something in the series and it was not something trivial. it was always something to show that women have the right to be treated with the same respect as men. remember and donna reed was married to the show producer and so she had much more input into making hers a more powerful character. the children were intelligent and but not precocious. they were normal kids. and they could act. something else that made donna reed show stand out was not only did the children look like their parents and but you could feel the chemistry between all the actors in the real life situation and which then came out in the characters. shelly fabares and paul peterson have often written and remarked that they were treated like the children of donna reed and carl betz and and that the adults were fiercely protective of the child actors and and treated them accordingly. donna and alex also had somewhat of a sexual chemistry that wasn not seen on the other family shows. and the characters could be flawed and and in major ways and and yet and accepted for the flaws and mistakes. these were not super parents that did no wrong and had no emotional highs and lows. they were normal people acting as normal people. women rights and drug abuse and child abuse and single fathers and poverty and children who need good health care but can not afford it. it was all shown on this show. pretty groundbreaking for the era. donna reed show do not last for eight years without a reason. and it could have possibly endured and had it not been for tony owens and donna reed divorcing. this show is highly underrated and should be shown so that other generations can appreciate quality. in summary and i agree with the original poster and who obviously cares for the show and but i think that the donna reed show has so much more to offer than casual entertainment.
