This article is unmitigated communist garbage!
It is a drum they beat on as they stamp out all of our Constitutionally-guaranteed rights & freedoms...
These shows (and many others from the 50s & 60s) are a clear reflection of a freer and more creative America...
Science, music, TV shows, movies, and education systems have all been stripped of any, and all, outcomes reflecting creativity, intelligence, and civilization...
I find the authors attitude towards these shows far more offensive than the content of any of these programs.
We need a new Joseph McCarthy.
