I started watching Bonanza on TVLand. That show was awesome. One program talked about honesty, values, justice. And it said those words in the show. Nearly every episode has a value lesson. However, if Bonanza was made today, Adam would be living with his girlfriend, Haas would be divorced with a bunch of kids, and Little Joe would be a homosexual. Pa would probably be on drugs.
The Andy Griffith show is the same way. Each and every show depicts morals and values that can teach a lesson.
And Hop Sing would be a cross-dressing, heavy metal, beastiality freak.
Well with that "Cartwright Disease", Adam's girlfriend was probably too afraid to get married and Hoss's wife would have died within 45 minutes of the marriage. :)
