I don't know about the new one--I'm skipping it because it looks like absolutely junk, not because of offensive content--but I watch the original almost every night on DVD, and whoever these people are who damned it for violence and sexuality didn't even watch it. It's a comedy above anything else, and the violence is on the level of a cartoon. It's actually pretty wholesome, with the Duke family praying to God before meals and so forth. You don't see much of that any more.

I know Ben Jones is a Democrat, but I don't think Denver Pyle was, and I know John Schneider isn't. And, Ben Jones has some bad political ideas, but he was for impeachment. Just some fun facts there.
