Based on an episode of "I love Lucy" I saw the other day, Americans are still a pretty traditional society.

Not really.  We allow inter-marriage with Cubans :o

According to the article, that couldn't have been depicted on American TV until the last 10 years or so.

Interestingly, I Love Lucy was pitched to ABC before it was offered to CBS.  ABC rejected it, not because they thought people would find the idea of Lucy being married to Ricky objectionable, but because they thought that people would find it unrealistic.
