Why are there no wholesome family shows that promote good things. All the so called “entertainment” is about evil or scary or murder or bad things. That is NOT entertainment.
This is why many of us now watch old shows like Leave it to Beaver. At least the whole family can watch it.
I would watch the Andy Griffith show. One day I realized that even back then, there was predictive programing going on. Almost nobody on that show was a family, or even married. The few that were, were the tales of caution. For example the people not married: Andy, Barney, Aunt Bea, her best friend Clara, of course Thelma Lou and Helen, Floyd the barber, Goober, Gomer, the Barney replacement, Howard Sprague, Howard Sprague's mother, the Darlings, all of them. There was one exception when the daughter got married, but then had some weird voodoo divorce. Ernest T. Bass.
The married were the town drunk Otis, some obnoxious visiting relatives, and the mayor. The only good married character was Emmet the handyman.
Because that bores us to tears. Why sit on one's ass watching sappy shows only promoting good things, or severely downplaying human depravity, instead of actually going out and living a life well lived?
Not even in ancient Greece did decent folks go to the plays just to see their decency validated and mirrored. They went for the macabre, the tragic, the comic, the tragicomic, and the portrayals of evil and vice. As a catharsis perhaps, or somber warnings of how not to be.
There are, but when you are conditioned to look for and only SEE evil.. that becomes your reality, fren.
I know, right? it's all about mental health, adulteries, gay stuff, morbid witchcraft black magic, AI, and weird shit these days.
I'll take Al Bundy, Brady Bunch, and the black and white Addams Family any day for tv entertainment
Typical family tv show now a days:
100%. And the entertainment I grew up with had a lot of moral lessons and showed the characters talking through and dealing with moral issues. Now the “entertainment” portrays killing as incidental and no big deal, sometimes just a fun hobby. Being cruel has laugh tracks ffs. No wonder the children are all messed up. Hard looks, no smiles, won’t talk to anyone, sad, lost. Up is down.
