It’s one thing to break down negative stereotypes and traditions, but quite another when it is being done to create new ‘stereotypes’ and ideals that are more fiction than fact.<\/p>\n

That appears to have become the primary goal of many \u2018Hollywood\u2019 television series, which \u2013 by design – have compromised their stories and plot lines with social commentaries and objectives that are simply not necessary but which serve the purpose of \u2018the designers.\u2019<\/p>\n

Citing the current 2018 \u2018Lost In Space\u2019 TV show, which in contrast to the original 1960s series, has portrayed the father (John Robinson) as a somewhat emasculated image of the original, Robert and Danielle offer examples from many other popular TV series that illustrate the same pattern of social reconstruction.<\/p>\n

Hollywood\u2019s attack on the traditional family father figure has long been taking place in other cited series like All In The Family, Married With Children, and Modern Family. Meanwhile, other politically \u2018progressive\u2019 trends have infiltrated the stories of shows like Friends, Boston Legal, Castle, Bluebloods, Gotham, and others.<\/p>\n

There is no question that many of these shows offer excellent entertainment value. However, the disproportionate emphasis on racism, the reversal of male-female dynamics, and the assumption of social attitudes far in disproportion to what is experienced in real life, can make one wary. Is it just good entertainment, or is it an attempt to change political attitudes that \u2018the designers\u2019 hope will eventually translate into real life politics?<\/p>\n

The irony in all of this is that most of the social attitudes now under attack are those that were already Just Right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
