Just for fun, what would you list as the most wholesome and homespun TV shows. You can add as many series to your list and they do not have to have necessarily started or been on TV in the '50s.
This is what I list:
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet
Leave it To Beaver
Lassie
The Donna Reed Show
The Patty Duke Show
Father Knows Best
Trouble with Father
Dennis the Menace
Hazel

The Andy Griffith Show - he always showed how to use tact and diplomacy to get people to do the right thing in any situation. He didn't use his authority to force people against their will.

"Meet Corliss Archer" (1954-1955)
"Life with Elizabeth" (though they did not have children)
"Date with the Angels" (again, they did not have children)
"Mama" (1949-1956)
How about variety series? "The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom" was quite clean, as was "The Patti Page Oldsmobile Show".
I was hoping to mention at least one show from the country I was born and live in (Australia). But that country only produced a single sitcom in the 1950s, and it isn't available for viewing (in any case it was not a domestic sitcom).
We're not fighting! We're in complete agreement! We hate each other!
