I saw that one recently as well. You must have amazon prime too. :)

God is mentioned all over the place in those fifties and early 60’s TV shows. What is interesting is that the ones most endeared today don’t really mention God all that much. I’m thinking Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best, The Lucy Show, etc.

Kinda weird.

I also recall episodes of Andy Griffith, in which they went to church. It was as if they were just showing matter of factly, that they attended church.

Can you imagine a show today, in which characters are shown attending religious services????

Leave It To Beaver actually has numerous mentions of God and mentions of the boys going to church although it never shows them in church. I think during the time period of the show it was just assumed that most people went to church at least occasionally.

Hugh Beamont was an ordained minister. I don’t know how much influence he had over scripts but most of the advice he gave were grounded in scripture - just not given in scripture & verse form.
