Even ‘Maude’.
Watch these shows with a critical eye and you’ll see the leftist tropes they pushed at the time that are now causing cities to burn. Maude, by the way, was a closeted lesbian and when you see the show now you’ll see her for what she was.
More shows of the period followed Lear with their overt anti-American themes such as MASH, The Partridge Family, and etc.
Yep, right after “The Rural Purge”.
The Partridge Family, anti-American?
Partridge Partridge family predates Norman Lear‘s shows. And mash does as well for all intents and purposes.
The Partridge Family was un-American? No way. Danny Partridge was totally cool and if I’m not mistaken, Danny (Bonaduce) grew up to become a conservative.
I could be wrong, but I think Lear made Maude to exhibit what an "enlightened" liberal was, and how "superior" she was to that brute Archie Bunker.
Maude is an elitist snob who thinks she is better than everyone else.
Watch how Bea Arthur walks around.
Literally with her nose in the air.
A totally repulsive, unlikable character.
AITF is funny, even today.
Maude is unwatchable.
Maude.
My mother hated Maude. Mother was a conservative Christian lady and Maude was the opposite of that.
Maude served as an example of what was (and still is) wrong with America.
I still LOL every time Rush talks about “Maude Behar”.
