Lacey Lynn praises the culture of "The Donna Reed Show"

On August 22, 2017, the 30th anniversary of the movie Dirty Dancing, I published on this blog an article titled 1963 - 1987. In part of that article, I wrote about similarities between that movie and the television series The Donna Reed Show. The part began as follows:

 ======

During the years 1958-1966, there was a television series called The Donna Reed Show about a model American family. The father, Dr. Alex Stone, was a doctor, and the mother, Donna (played by the actress Donna Reed), was a housewife. The daughter, Mary, grew from 14 to 22 during the series, so she turned 19 during 1963. The son, Jeff, grew up from 11 to 19 during the series, so he turned 16 years old during 1963.

The Stone family was quite similar to the Houseman family. Both fathers were doctors, and both mothers were housewives. In 1963 the Stone children were 19 and 16 years old, and the Houseman children were 19 and 17 years old.

Today when I published here an article titled Romantic Nostalgia and the Early 1960s. I recalled my 2017 article about The Donna Reed Show. Subsequently I looked for some videos about that show and came across some YouTube videos done by essayist Lacey Lynn. She praises the culture that was portrayed by that show and others of that period. Here are a few of her videos.
