Im the 60s, they dumbed us down with Gilligan and the Hillbillies.
In the 70s they feminazi-ed us with Mary Tyler Moore and Maude.
Yes, but "The Andy Griffith Show" will teach you everything you need to know to survive in this world!
Andy Griffith was based.
Andy Griffith taught authoritarianism with a big smile. He was both a cop and a judge.
Well, he was sheriff (elected) and justice of the peace (appointed). JOP's have limited jurisdiction.
The 50s is when they thoroughly introduced Nazi propaganda to the American public. Believe it.
Throw the 70's 'One Day at a Time' in there, another single mom (tho pretty sure Schneider was tappin it)
I think Good Times was such a better show than One Day at a Time. It had two hard working parents trying to raise their children right. Even thought they were in the middle of the ghetto, they appeared to do a pretty good job keeping the kids out of trouble.
Good Times was din-o-mite....loved Shirley... speaking of ghetto, Sanford & Son was a'ight, too
Did you see the video where they ai Geotus onto Fred? Hillarious
Threes Company, Charlies Angels
'Alice' was another one.
One Day at a Time glamorized divorce and single motherhood. One of my all-time favorite internet comments was a poster on the old Jump the Shark site who said Ann Romano looked like she smelled like dirty pantyhose.
What did the Waltons do to us , and Andy Griffith
The famous Pickle Episode of Andy Griffith promoted the idea that store-bought pickles were always better than home-made pickles, a concept that pleased sponsors like General Foods.
All TV in the 1960s lulled people into a sense of comfort and complacency to distract them from the misadventures of the Military Industrial Complex..
The Waltons worked hand-in-hand with other sentimental nostalgia series like Happy Days and contrasted beautifully with with modern, cynical shows like All in the Family and Lotsa Luck to reinforce the idea that "the good old days" when women stayed at home and a man could support his family on one income were well and truly over.
