There was a mixture, a lot of them woke, some had no particular message, and I can’t recall any that were patriotic, pro-Christian, or particularly positive about America or Americans, if there were any they were few.

For me as an American kid and natural-born conservative, the series was fun to watch but very negative and left-leaning.

I don’t think there is any serious disagreement in the TV industry that the show and the left-wing Serling pushed a left-wing agenda.

There never was too many Little Houses on the Prairie on TV if that is what you mean. Why don’t you cite an example before we make our final ‘judgement’ on you. :)

Was more of a psychological show and “what-if” type of show.Focused on the moral, social, intellectual failures, obscene fears, and desires of mankind..
Episodes like “King 9 Will not Return” was not about how to rescue brave American fliers, but about how people bury their memories in fantasy due to horrendous life events that they cannot come to grips with.
“The skies were Opened” was not about the amazingly brave astronauts, but what happens if someone’s memories aren’t justified by what they are currently experiencing. Was their current experience due to their venturing into an unknown place or had they gone crazy?
I would recommend videos like Victory at Sea series or the Pacific War series, or “Why we fight” movie for patriotic pro American videos. Those are xlnt. Or some WW2 dramas like Hellcats of the Navy, sands of Iwo Jima, Twelve o’clock high, etc.
Freegards.

I have ALWAYS been a CONSERVATIVE, writ large and I NEVER, not as a kid watching TZ when it was first aired, nor as an adult, re watching it over and over and over again, found it to be "WOKE"!

Patriotic? What about the episode where the guy goes back in time to try to prevent Lincoln being shot in Ford's theatre?

Then there's the anti-Nazi episodes.

Nothing "CHRISTIAN"? What about the episode about the Devil being held prisoner in a monastery, of sorts, then released by a naive stranger, who then sets out to recapture him and has him locked away in a closet?

Many episodes showed the foibles of mankind, the good, the bad, and yes, the very ugly; however,also great kindness and goodness, as well.

Have you, as an adult, ever watched the TWILIGHT ZONE MARATHONS, or are your current opinions of that show based on very old memories of a child?
