...Hank is sensible, and right most of the time. The show touches Texas in a loving way, pretty much as Prarie Home used to be. That's it. I like the way they skewer PC and feminist stuff with Bobby and Peg too.
This past week, they had Hank & Co. get suckered into building the set for what they learned to be a revisionist version of "The Alamo" as a stageplay. They touched so nicely on how History has changed.
Maybe I'll catch that in reruns.
(My dad gave me a history book he had in high school, 1944 or so. It is incredible what we were free to say back then. God is on most pages, and of course Western Civilization is superior to that nonsense they have in the backwater countries!)
All references to God were gone by the time I got to elementary school in the '60s, and cultural relativism was just beginning.

Oh, man, the episode where the drug-addict got the job at Strickland Propane, and they had to "accommodate" his "disability" by letting him come in late, sleep on the job, set the light levels for him, etc. Wonderful!
