After the rigid 1950's, the social revolution and counter-culture caused tension in family life. My boyfriend was not allowed to enter my house because he had a beard.
People lived in joint family.Aged parents were given proper repect and well attended by the daughter-in-law.A family had many members to help each when in problem.
There is the "My Three Sons" depiction, where problems were solved in thirty minutes. There was the reality of political upheaval. In short, a lot like now: good and bad.
