I agree, but when compared to Andy Griffith (the country rube sheriff?), and everything just seemed more "wholesome"; perhaps an idealistic tale of days gone by, but also perhaps an aspirational tale for those who might value the community sometimes found in small, rural places.
- Simulacra 5y agoFor some reason your comment reminded me of something I read about the Simpsons. Every single episode, no matter what, they're always a family in the end. I think what is missing is more television programing that aimed to be an aspiration to others in their community. The Jeffersons, Andy Griffith, even to include The Wonder Years. Perhaps has another commenter noted, the writers would first have to understand that dynamic, and to do so would be a major shift at the moment.
