6. How wears the pants in the family

Jed Clampett (the father) wears the pants in the family

He was the person to find the oil pool and the one who gained $25 million from it

Nobody really has jobs (except for the many jobs that Jethro tries to pursue) due to the amount of money that they earned from the father

He is the one to make the decisions in the household and he is the one that everyone goes to for advice

Jed is also the one who calms everybody down, including his family and the banker as well

He is a widower, so it is up to him to be independent and  make important life decisions for himself and his family

5. Fashion then vs. now

Their fashion is very laid back and casual, and the characters actually wear the exact same outfit in all of the episodes. I believe this is to stay in character and to build an overall image for themselves

Jed always wears:

a grey jacket

an old brown torn up hat

a white t-shirt

blue jeans

Jethro always wears:

a red and white checkered shirt

blue jeans

a white rope belt (same one as Elly May)

Ella May wears:

a collared button up shirt (usually red and white stripe)

blue jeans

a white rope belt  (same one as Jethro)

hair done up in curls

Granny wears:

a long button up collared dress with an apron on the bottom half

large clear glasses

In comparison to fashion today, there aren't many striking differences and they all seem to be dressed very casual at home and in public.

The Munsters is a show about a sort of alternative family that wasn't the normal set up. Through out the show we see other characters get scared due to their strange monster-like appearance. Due to their appearance most of the conflicts that they face is because they aren't a "normal" looking family and it shows them running into problems with the "normal" families around them. This show only aired from 1964-1966.

Roles and Family Dynamics

Herman Munster - He is the only one in the family with a steady job as a Gravedigger, because of this he is considered the breadwinner of the family. He is a very loving husband and caring father to Eddie, he also tries to be a father figure to his niece Marilyn. He is a good-natured, childish, and naive character throughout the show. He is a very respected character by both Eddie and Marilyn; meanwhile with Lily he is a bit more passive and loving. When it comes to his relationship with Grandpa Munster he is a lot more respectable toward Grandpa while Grandpa criticizes him jokingly all the time. He is a very family oriented man and is always pushing for the family to spend time together by always having breakfast together or they will be sitting in the living room while Lily knits, he'll read the paper, Grandpa will be playing chess , and Eddie will either be reading in the fireplace or playing with some toys on the ground.

Lily Munster - She has tried multiple part-time jobs but they never seem to stick and she always goes back to being the housewife; cooking for the family and “cleaning” which consisted of vacuuming the house with the reverse on so that more dust would be put around the nine-bedroom and dungeon house. She treats Marilyn like her own daughter and is supportive in whatever Marilyn decides to pursue; she is also just as supportive and loving towards Eddie. She is has a very fiery temper and tends to be the disciplinary voice within the house usually scolding Herman for his occasional stupidity and selfishness, she also tend to get angry with her father due to his foolish actions and stubbornness. She is the voice of reason within the house and is often relied on to make all the problems right. Because of all these things she is the one who "wear the pants" in their household

Eddie Munster - He was an ordinary kid apart from being part werewolf with vampire tendencies. Eddie attended elementary school, aside from his pointed ears, and exaggerated widows peak, he is a normal kid. He looks up to his dad and grandpa a lot constantly helping them get into trouble from Lily but very rarely gets in trouble himself. He is also very close with Marilyn and feels like he can talk to her with some of his problems that he faces as a werewolf kid.

Marilyn Munster - She is the logical voice that helps Lily voice out her thoughts in a logical “girl” talk kind of way without having Lily come off as extreme or aggressive towards Herman and Grandpa Munster. She also tends to help her grandpa with his potions and weird magical experiments. She isn’t present often and is mostly there with a new boyfriend on her arm that usually gets scared off by hr ghoulish looking family.

Grandpa Munster - While Grandpa is generally considered the wisest member of the family, he is also extremely stubborn. He usually feels that he isn't getting enough respect, and he doesn’t shy away from letting everyone know it, and will often sulk or go to extreme lengths to demonstrate how offended he is by these actions. While generally a successful mad scientist and magician, his experiments tend to be completely absurd. Grandpa has an extremely sarcastic personality, and often insults his son-in-law Herman. Despite this, Grandpa and Herman are quite close and many episodes revolve around the crazy schemes Grandpa and Herman end up getting into, which Lily tends to scold them for later on.

# data[].attributes.body
Fashion - Then vs Today
The fashion is very different instead of sweatpants and baggy t-shirts, both Marilyn and Lily wear dresses and heels everywhere they go. Also instead of no makeup and a messy bun they always have their hair and makeup completely done up. While Eddie and Herman each wear dress shirts and dress pants with a blazer and plain black shoes, Grandpa is always clad up in an old vampire like tuxedo with a cape and everything.

In my family unlike in the Addams family I do not have a very strong relationship with my parents. I have two grandparents living with my parents, my brother, and me in a small house in an urban neighborhood as a pose to an uncle and a grandma living in a mansion in a cemetery.

Me and my brother do not interact the same as Wednesday and Pugsley. We are not loving towards each other, but we do not try to kill each other either.

My family can be similar to the Addams family in the sense that I have a mother and a father, an older brother, and am a younger sister.

My family definitely have very different conflicts than the Addams family and a very different style as well.

The Flintstones is a cartoon show which aired on September 30, 1960 and lasted until April 1, 1966. It is about a typical family of 5 (if you include the pets) in the stone age era who represent aspects of a family in the 1960's. This family demonstrates everyday concerns that are always resolved in the end

# data[].attributes.body
The roles/family members

Fred Flintstone: Fred is a typical father/husband in the 1960’s who is the only parent who works outside of the house to take care of the family. Fred works at the Slate Rock and Gravel company as a bronto crane operator. He is portrayed as a very goofy character who always tries his best to please all the members of the family, especially his wife whom he listens to in any situation.

Wilma Flintstone is a typical mother/wife in the 1960’s who stays home to takes care of her daughter and who cleans and cooks while also taking care of her husband. She also has the ability to be the boss when it comes to Fred

Pebbles is the baby of the family

Dino and baby Puss are the Flintstones pets

# data[].attributes.body
The similarities and differences between your family dynamics and those of the t.v. family.

When comparing my family dynamics and those of the The Flintstones, there are more differences than similarities. Some similarities include my parents being married and having children just like Fred and Wilma and my mom wearing dresses and jewelry just like Wilma. But, some differences include having a working mother who is in charge of household chores while also working hard as a full time PSW, my dad who “wears the pants” in the family rather than my mom, my mom and dad share who same goofy attitude which can lead to certain downfalls, but they both have the ability to find solutions rather than just resorting to the “more intelligent” parent, the kids (my sister and I) who help out around the house and the fashion is only similar to Fred and Wilma on special occasions.

# data[].attributes.body
How does this t.v. program reflect the cohort that it represents?

Since The Flintstones were made in 1960-1966, that makes them the generation x cohort

In most ways, The Flintstones didn’t reflect their cohort generation

The Flintstones did not have difficulties with getting a stable career because Fred  was always seen going to work

The family didn’t have a “look out for number one mentality” except Fred who was pretty competitive when it comes to certain activities or work as he always wants to be and do the best he can

The parents and siblings were not as evident in the show resulting in no competition with older family members

But I found that in some ways, they represent the qualities of a typical woman in the early 1960’s. More specifically, Wilma is a young housewife who is married and who a child while also staying at home to take care of the family and the household. Also, Fred and Wilma represent the typical couple by being a stay at home wife and by being a working father.

# data[].attributes.body
Children and household chores

Pebbles is mainly a baby for every episode therefore the children don’t contribute to household chores

# data[].attributes.body
Who "wears the pants" in the family

The one who “wears the pants” in the family is Wilma because whatever she says to do Fred, Pebbles and even Dino will listen and she is the seen as the more realistic and intelligent character who always had a solution the to the problem that Fred causes

# data[].attributes.body
How are the problems resolved

The family member that causes the most trouble would be Fred and the family member who would help with the resolution is Wilma

Therefore, the wife is seen as the boss of the husband, while the husband causes all the trouble

# data[].attributes.body
Cohorts and 21st Century

This family doesn’t reflect their cohort in the sense that they don’t have a “look out for number one” mentality, they see themselves as equal to everyone else, they don’t see themselves as any better or worse than their neighbors or whoever else they encounter. But Lily does show that she has a hard time getting a job and even if she does find one it never seems to last long for her as if the jobs are in such demand that it makes no difference to let someone go because there will always be a replacement. Theres also no minorities in the show it's an all white cast.

I can relate to this family in some ways because my parents and I are very close, and my mom is also the boss of my house with a somewhat fiery temper. While my dad is a lot smarter than Herman he is still a family oriented guy who pushes for family time by getting us to always have dinner together at the table, like Herman does for breakfast. Also Eddie tend to take after his moms habits but his dads personality which I have also done within my family.

This family does differ to mine though because I have two older brothers and have never lived with a cousin or grandparent. Also my mother has always had a job as well they were usually part time but they would stick for a long time and my mom would never quit looking and just sit around to be a housewife.

# data[].attributes.body
Major conflicts

Some major conflicts that this family faces are problems that occur due to their humour which usually leads them to have a conflict between their wife, Fred complaining about his employment, mishaps with the police due to his silliness, conflicts between friends or problems in which towards the end will always be resolved

# data[].attributes.body
How they spend time together

The family spends their free time by doing certain activities together or with their friends Barney and Betty Rubble and their son Bamm-Bamm. For example, going on a picnic, bowling, and traveling

Differences in fashion

Whether they are at home cleaning, going to work, going out of town, Wilma is always seen wearing a dress and a pearl necklace while Fred is always seen wearing a tie. Also, their hair style is always the same; nicely done in a bun and combed

Even though this show takes place in the stone age setting, the family still portrays the fashion sense that was popular in the 1960’s, which was skirts and dresses for women, button down shirts and ties for men, solid colours and patterns etc.

# data[].attributes.body
The relationship/dynamics

The relationship/dynamics between the family members have a humorous aspect

Fred is seen as the goofy character but he upholds the status of being a working father and he always respects his wife.

Wilma always keeps Fred and Pebbles in place demonstrating proper etiquette

A lack of discipline is involved because a conflict is always resolved towards the end of the episode

7. Reflection of the Gen X cohort

Generation X were people living in a time of societal change and increasing independence. This family grows their own independence from the beginning of the show when Jed finds his own way of making money (which is when he found oil to sell). This generation is said to be also called the "latchkey kids" but this is false throughout this show because there is always someone in the house, and since they are so wealthy, none of the members have full time jobs or work to do.

# data[].attributes.body
4. Major conflicts the family faces

Education- Throughout the show it is evident that the family and others around them, make fun of Jethro's lack of intelligence and consider him to have the mind capacity of a "sixth-grader". This is a big issue for him during this show because it is harder for him to be taken seriously with people of a higher power (for instance Mr. Drysdale when Jethro wanted to rent an office to work in). He is mainly used around the house to help Granny with cleaning, instead of getting an education because his family believes that he will not last long.

Financial- The premise of the show starts with showing the financial crisis that the Clampett family used to be in, before Jed came upon the oil pond out in his yard that eventually made them very rich. This shows the family quickly going from a rags-to-riches scenario and involves the very issues and triumphs that come with success. Money was a big issue for the family, but this was resolved by Jed- making him the boss/ or the owner to everything the family has.

# data[].attributes.body
2. Character roles in the family and society

Granny-  Plays the role of the mother to Jethro and Elly May. She is mostly seen cooking, cleaning and working inside of the house from day to day. She is very old but despite her age, she is always working for her family ad making sure that Jed and the kids are taken care of.

Jed-  The head of the family,  who is a very calm and collected person who runs the household and keeps everybody's feet on the ground. Jed is the one who discovered the oil pool in the swamp which was the turning point of their life from poor to rich and living in Beverly Hills .

Elly May-  The easy-going and fun loving daughter of Jed Clampett. She is known for her tomboy characteristics in the show. She is seen as the "most beautiful girl" and the perfect woman for anyman. Ella May is an animal lover, and helps Granny around the house when there is a lot of work to do. She is not afraid to get her hands dirty, and can switch between her elegant and tomboy sides whenever she needs.

Jethro- The son of Jed's cousin, Pearl Bodine (even though he addresses Jed as "Uncle Jed"). He drives the Clampett family to their new home in California and eventually stays with them to get an education. The rest of the family says Jethro has a "sixth-grade education", but he is ignorant about nearly every aspect of modern California life. One of Jethro's purposes in living in Beverly with the Clampett family is to continue his endless career search and his overall goal to meet a beautiful woman.

Milburn Drysdale-  The Clampett family banker, next-door neighbor, and friend. He is obsessed with money, and will do everything he can to please the Clampett family. He often forces his secretary, to help fulfill all of their  crazy requests to keep them happy.

Jane Hathaway-  Jane Hathaway or "'Miss Jane", is Drysdale's intelligent secretary and is considered as family to the Clampett's. She loves the family and tries to shield them from her boss's greed. Miss Hathaway is usually seen fixing issues caused by Mr. Drysdale and eventually fixing the situation for him with little or no thanks.

3. Family dynamic then vs. today

The characters in this show are very family oriented and love to spend time with each other. This family has a lot of respect for one another and it shows through their actions. The atmosphere in their home or when they are together is very relaxed and shows how comfortable they are around each other, nothing is too fancy and it reminds me a lot of the modern family today, even though this show was from the 60's. Since this is a comedy, I feel like it showcases the fun and playful side of families without making it serious or too perfect compared to many families during that time. With their family coming from a poor lifestyle to being one of the richest, it shows how their personalities will never change no matter how much they have, which is the same to say with families in 2019.

Major "conflicts" that this family faces - Gab (6)

# data[].attributes.body
Some major conflicts for this family are:

Social acceptance - The Addams family is a very macabre family and have a very dark and morbid taste for things. When someone from outside the family first meets them and sees the decor of their home their first reaction is fear.

Dating - The children in the Addams family are too young to date, Gomez and Morticia are already married meaning they also do not date, Grand-mama is too old to date, but Uncle Fester attempts to date in one episode and finds it to be rather challenging once again because of the macabre nature of the family.

School - This presents a conflict for the family because Wednesday and Pugsley do not attend school. In one episode they attempted to send the children to school however Wednesday was extremely upset by the book they read which was the Brothers Grimm fairy tales. Once again the reason for this was the macabre nature of this family caused their opinions about the material in school to be extremely different.

The recurring issue for this family is their macabre nature because that sets them aside and makes them extremely different from others in society.

This generation was starting to become more free and accepting of situations. Birth control pill was introduced, women are allowed to be in the workforce. For the situation of the story it fit in as new situations were being accepted.

One major event that occurred was Buffy’s classmate/friend was severely ill and about to die. Buffy knew all to well about death, but it was still a very hard concept for this young child to deal with. She believed that her Uncle could cure her friend, but when he couldn't it was a tough realization. Unfortunately Buffy continued to spend time with Eva her friend until she passed and made her time on Earth a memorable one. Buffy was able to accept what happened and move on with her life.

Another big discussion was when the kids Aunt wanted to take them back. The kids were very intrigued, and wanted to know lots about what their life would be like in if they moved. However, we it came time to decide they chose their Uncle who loved them and never gave them up.

Finances was never a subject of discussion at the dinner table because Uncle Bill made an excellent wage and was able to provide for the children to have a great life.

As 'Cissy' grew up friendships and relationships started to become a topic, but this was not until later in the show.

My family is very different from the Davis’s as I have both my parents and live with them in a home in Ottawa, not an apartment in New York.

I however have a very strong relationship with my sister just like Buffy and Cissy do, I also have a good relationship with my parents like the kids to with Bill who they look at as a father role.

I do not address my parents as sir or Mrs.

I wear different attire then they did and I do not have a valet, cook and maid.

I have a lot more responsibilities at my house.

I attend school just like Cissy and have a plan for a future career. There are many similarities there is also some differences between my life and they life of the characters in the t.v show.

When at school the kids are all dressed very professional. Girls are in dresses and nylons and boys wear pants and a button-down top. The kids tend to wear these clothes when they are at home, or playing at a friends house. The girls hair is curled and done up to look pretty everyday, they do not wear makeup, or if they do it is very minimal.

Compared to this generation where people tend to swear sweat pants and a baggy sweater to school or when they go to a friends house to “hang out”.  This applies for both kids and teens. Kids tend to wear a fancy outfit sometimes to school, but it usually can consist of jeans and a t-shirt or girls may wear leggings and a top. Teens also can tend to show more skin now a days, compared to back then. There is a variety of ways teens wear makeup now and everyday it is different depending on a teens emotions and motivation. Some may wear none, minimal or lots. This is not that different from back then, now people just might wear more compared to what people wore back then. There is also a much larger variety of makeup now compared to back then.

The children refer to uncle Bill as Sir, and they treat him as a respected adult who has authority over them. They do not treat him with a lack of respect because he is just their uncle, they look at him as a father role, because their parents died and he is the only person they know to be a parent to them, and want them, niit just give them away.

Compared to children today these children show an abundance of respect to their elders/parents, address them by sir, or Mr.... or Mrs..... and they do not swear or use inappropriate language in front of them.

The kids however love uncle Bill and have created so many memories with him and when they were offered the choice of leaving to go and live in a bigger house, with their own rooms, a tree house and much more they chose to stay because of  Uncle Bill and how much they loved him.

All of the kids are happy and enjoy spending time with their siblings, they do not argue much or miss treat them. External force of why: their parents death and knowing to appreciate each other and the time they have together and not taking it for granted.

The children show a great amount of respect for Mr Giles French the valet, they treat him with an abundance or respect, but they also enjoy joking and being goofy with him. He also is very responsible for them and their lives, however when he knows they are safe he as well enjoys joking and being a child again with them.

The children do not have a big relationship with Aunt Fran, however the small relationship they have for her, they treat her with lots of respect and address her as Mrs. When they spend time with her they are just girls, they do not see her as a parent who holds a big part in her life, but as a friend who they respect, but can have fun with and enjoy their company.
