The American Dream had become a reality during this time period. Everyone had the chance to have a nice house with a couple kids and maybe even a dog. Automobiles were rolling off of the assembly lines such as Ford and Chrysler. Couples who were waiting to have children later on in life decided to go ahead and have kids by enjoying the post war. Television was also a major change in the 1950's. People were actually able to see what was going on in America instead of just listening to the radio. Visuals are more impact than listening and creating your own visuals. Along with news and political campaigns, sitcoms came along with television. Sitcoms such as "I Love Lucy" and "The Wild West" were the popular sitcoms in the 50's.
