An article in the Boston Globe on the subtext of parent-child relationships in the television series "Mad Men" quotes Sampson Lee Blair, associate professor of sociology. "The general public, when they think of the post-World War II era, commonly rely on these images of 'Ozzie and Harriet' and 'Leave It to Beaver," that it was a period when you had an abundance of love and nurturance given from parents to their children. But it wasn't that way," he said.
