We love Lucy, and we…kinda like Dick Van Dyke? Jackson wants to be just like Rick(y Ricardo) and Dick, and we’re wondering what on Earth those classic sitcoms have to do with Sookie’s pregnancy. Turns out both I Love Lucy and The Dick Van Dyke Show were subversive for their time, and both of their birth episodes made headlines. We talk famous TV births, why people thought it was risky to say “pregnant” on TV, and all about how these ‘50s and ‘60s dads tie in with the dads on our favorite TV show.

Other pop culture we ref: Mary Tyler Moore, The Donna Reed Show, The Andy Griffith Show, Full House, Seinfeld, Mary Kay and Johnny, Marriage Story, Friends, Jane the Virgin, The Brady Bunch, Leave It to Beaver, Busy Philipps
