       Over on #YouTube Movies & TV, I just noticed that the 1954 to 1960 TV series "Father Knows Best" is up. This series starring Robert Young and Jane Wyatt can be reasonable described as an attempt to portray "classic" ostensible 1950s values. It was popular in reruns during the 60s, and obviously is still around. It was placed in the fictional town of "Springfield" by the way. Hmm.Over the years I've sometimes noted what I as a guy find to be perhaps the most problematic of the episodes: S2E30: "Betty, Girl Engineer."In this episode, older daughter Betty decides after a job fair that she'd like to study to become an engineer. Pretty much everybody applies the thumbscrews to her in an effort to get her to change her mind and make a more "feminine" choice.And eventually, they succeed. Ouch.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJvwYVtlnQ8 (probably U.S. only).
