what are some television shows from the 1950's that portray death and dying?

Ruby Martis: That's because television wasn't into realism back then. But you might try looking into the "Twilight Zone". They probably had some episodes that might help and I'm pretty sure that ran some in the 50's. You might also consider checking out the westerns of the time like "Cheyenne" and "Wyatt Earp". It was all about being macho. Remember that they were only a few years past a world war when death was a fact of daily life. Some of the old soap operas like "Guiding Light" and "Search for Tommorrow" might also help. Good luck!...Show more
